They USB-ed and "repro-ed" these too and DO NOT BUY it.

It sucks totally in every possible way. The only suggestion I could make is use the USB interface to put it in an original if you must.

The reissue is bad not THAT bad (but still light years away from the real thing) and for 9€ (around 15$) one can't ask for too much, the only thing that i didnt understand i s why they put a ten ton spring for the centering, that stik used to play decathlon (or track and field) will make you use the same amount of calories as you were really running the marathon.

The only thing ? Let me start: The buttons don't even stay straight because of the way they put them on the microswitches.They will allways hang to a side which gives it a ridiculous cheap look. Also rhe buttons don't even look the same and have a flat top instead of concave. The microswitches are the hardest switches I've _ever_ come across. I couldn't play it for longer than 5 minutes untill getting very tired of it (besides being totally annoyed by it).
The overall construction is just cheap and flimsy. Of course I'm spoilt because I have a very rare early original Suzo that has leaf switches for both buttons AND the stick and it's heaven compared to hell. The 9 bucks are a good investment though, use the USB PCB in an original Suzo and you have a sweet computer/MAME joystick.

Still no word from them, and a couple weeks ago I even called and left a message. At least it was only thirty bucks.

Hi Ummom,
If you left a voicemail, it is no surprise no one has gotten back to you - the link at http://www.legacyengineer.com/store.html clearly states to send email, not voicemails, the telco# is information messages only, no voicemails are responded to. To leave any requests/questions/comments to online.sales@legacyengineer.com
If your order is lost, missing, or backlogged, if you do email, it says - send a cut&paste of your google order receipt and make sure you include your current mailing address. When you do so you immediately get put into the new system and your order is filled.
Try it, you might like it ;D
Anyway, looks like lots of orders have been going out the door, it would be nice to start to see those here on the boards who've sent their info and gotten their orders to give their review of the controllers.

Thanks for the tip. I finally found my receipt email and forwarded it to the email address you listed. Curt responded within hours and is working on my shipment. Can't wait!

I will have to try again. I've done the email twice to no response.
