Thanks for the heads up. Though honestly, I prefer the original playstation 
controllers from anything else. Once you have that, you don't need anything 
else nless you play at tournament levels for a lot of games. And even then, 
a lot of tournaments use standard controllers, like EVO, which is the 
biggest fighting game tournament around.

well if you know how it all goes you can open the other stick and 
break the pieces and just put metal or other things.

but they sound real crappy.

Was this made by Madkatz? I heard ones made by them were pretty good.

Also. I have trouble with the motions and things on the DPad, either I don't do 
it right, forget it or it ends up being blocked; wondering if the joystick 
would make it easier to do full circles though, like I guess just rotate the 
stick 360 and hit the punch/kick buttons that go with that move. Suppose that'd 
be easier than hitting up-down-left-right and sometimes you have to do two of 
them, especially for ultras, or at least I think I do remember seeing an ultra 
with two 360s in them.

Just a heads up on this product. The King of Fighters anniversary joystick 
was made to make your fighting game experience that much more enjoyable- 
so they said. I payed 65 bucks each for the pair I bought, and right off 
the bat, I noticed that these joysticks were extremely tough to use. The 
sticks grind horribly when rolled, and to get a half circle from right to 
left to work was nearly impossible.
To make a long story short, I went back to using the DS controlers after 
trying the joysticks out for the first day, but last weekend, me and my 
girlfriend were playing the first Marvel VS Capcom game on the PS1 system, 
and we decided to bust out the joysticks. We barely went 3 rounds before 
one of the joysticks all of a sudden stopped responding all together.
Yesterday, me and a buddy opened up the joystick to take a look inside, 
and here is the problem:
At the base of the stick on the inside of the machine, there is a thin 
cross piece made of plastic. This piece is what they put in there to allow 
contact between the stick and the actual directional controls. When you 
hold the stick in the down position for example, the bottom of the cross 
piece inside will angle down and touch the right part of the feedback 
board- giving your character the crouch. Problem here is that the plastic 
they used is very thin- like the material you see on a CD case- those 
break alot too. My girfriend actually snapped off two of four sides of 
that crosspiece without knowing or meaning to just playing MVC. As my

just by pressing on them with your finger tip.
So now we're left with one completely useless joystick, and one that we're
