by stick, do you mean the bit soldered to the board itself, or the stick cap?
either way..looks like a very sneaky move on behalf of GPH...release a dodgy joystick cap with the first initial units..wait until you sell 8,000+, then make a new cap and start selling that, which im pretty sure almost everyone will want to buy it..
I received mine yesterday, and i am very pleased. I brought it on the bus and psymastr saw it, but he swears that it\\\'s lousy and increases the deadzone a great deal . Whatever, I personally think it\\\'s quite good, so mad props to daveC
My one suggestion is to buy a barrel of the plasticote liquid rubber and coat the sticks. It would make them at least 40 % better than they are now (In total making them amazing sticks). Well, just a thought
Anyway, thank you! I highly recommend this to everyone

In all honestly...I don't care for DaveC's stick. It's WAY to slick on top, which I imagine is now why he makes them with groove's (as in his sig) and it is WAY to wide. You can't just kind of push the stick left and right, it's more like pressing on the outside edge of the stick to make it go down in that direction, makes it much more tedious of a task to do precise controls...albiet it may be better than stock, the RetroCon mod is still to be surpassed in my opinion, convex, grippy, not really wide = much better control. And I don't think that the stick was worth $10 except for the fact that it was made by hand...and I can't do it myself...

just like the stock cap? only with the stock its because its so slippy?
have you tried the retrocon stick? i was thinking of getting one, but it looks pretty tall and raised above the 2X?
just to make sure, http://www.axess.com/twilight/console/detail/retrocon.jpg
is that the retrocon where everyone got the stick from?
Make sure it is pressed all of the way down or it will stick up too high. It requires a good deal of force. It will go on easy until it gets to where that flat spot ends and the shaft is all round then it gives resistance and you may think it is bottomed out but it can still go down more.
does it sit as low as the stock cap or is it still really tall?
do you have a picture of the side of the cap not connected to the 2x?

Hmm, it now sits ~2mm higher than the stock cap, but it's head is much thicker.
