the "up" direction on the grey analogue stick on mine has given up and gives really minimal performance now, i wouldn't mind but i've had it about 6 months and i didn't have time to play for a lot of the time so it's had hardly any use....
to make it worse, i can't even open it up and fix it cos it uses these odd triange shaped screwheads... anyone know where to get a tool to open these up?
Other than that its still a very good controller, extremely comfortable. Nothing touches the WaveBird.

Yeah, same here.
All around the outside bit and around the buttons ... not very nice, all crusty whitish stuff. I did that after about 2 years on my PS2 controller - it holds a lorra lorra sweat : )

hehe, way ahead of ya :)
Lik-Sang is a quality place. i got one of hte Magic Boxes for the PC, a usb box that lets me use PS1/2, Dreamcast and saturn pads on the pc. SO far it's been a great success, it's worked with all my software (including emulators and Virtua Tennis, which didn't like my "proper" pc pad)
