    are these things shabbily constructed or what?
    of the 3 pc controllers i've had the joystick broke, the gamepad broke and a few days ago the latest gamepad broke, it lasted a 13months, doesn't seem quite enough. I had console controllers (NES & SNES) that never broke after years of enthusiastic use.

    maybe i'm a little to enthusiastic with x/y-axis controller, when i take a long shot in a football game i really crank the d-pad, anyone else do this?

    i have to get this thing replaced under warranty :(

    i went through a few logitec wingmen joysticks a few years ago when i was playing novalogic games but they got a lot of use so i can't complain to much and now one of my xbox pads is acting up ( right thumb stick keeps sticking ) but i'v been hammering on that for 18 months so thats lasted well.

    if you were using it a lot and it lasted 13 months thats not too bad imho.

    get a usb adapter to use console controllers on your pc, you can get ps1+2, n64, xbox and gamecube.

    I got one of those USB adaptors last week. Works a treat. I now have PS2 dual shock for my console emu and two Hori arcade sticks for MAME.
