Don't like it -- handle is not very ergonomic and it felt too different from Logitech or M$ sticks. Trigger is prone to break, followed by the hat switch going next. Center force is weak (a plus IMHO
). Pickups are analog, ie. they will wear out. I thought it'd work well w/ a flight sim but not w/ a fast action game like D3.
P.S. I'm giving away mine at the OR LAN -- almost brand new

I second the trigger being weak.

Flip, I had that style stick heck 4 years ago. Trigger broke and it doesn't sound like they've fixed the problem yet.

The gold is a much more comfortable stick, but they do tend break easy, Best Buy don't stock them anymore so I'm stuck with this junk freedom 2.4

break easily?!?? What on God's green earth are you doing to it? I've had mine for 2 years and has taken considerable punishment.

I've been scratching my on head on that one all my time here.
on the converse, they probably could crush people's hands just by shaking them.
The only joystick I've wrecked thru semi-regular usage is my first gen Wingman Digital 3d, whose locking mechanism failed, which is the one im seeking to replace.
