there's your problem.

Try a Super or a Competitiion.  Those Ultimates are horrible IMO.

Toss up a quick review in the Hardware Review sub so others don't get stuck with them.

Mr. Bubblehead:
Do the supers or competitions have a metal base?  I bet my 5-year old could break these ultimates in one game of Pac-Man.

I may do that, I need to mount one and take some photos/video of them being used (and breaking off in my hand).

Yeah, Ultimates are well known to suck.  Several reviews are out there about this.  Notably, OSCAR controls did a great review back in 2000 or so, and there was a big folow up discussion on this site. Retroblast did a joystick round-up more recently.  Both concluded the ultimates sucked.  Both review are worth a read.  Oscar's review only evaluated the P360, super, comp, and ultimate. Retroblast reviewed about every joystick out there (some were left out, but all the Happs were reviewed and most of the more popular joysticks from other manufacturers.

you'll have to search the board for the extended discussion on OSCAR's review. 

Don't bother posting your own review.  The ultimates have been beaten to death and anyone wanting to buy a joystick need only serach from joystick reviews to avoid that mistake.  The ultimate is not the ultimate
