I picked up one from CompGeeks awhile back, and it works fine with MAME and Duke Nukem Manhattan Project.  The rumble feature is a nice touch. And if you take the time to configure it, D.O.T. is plays allright as well.

Of course I paid a lot more than that.... fortunately not the retail price.

Given the choice, between wireless and arcade controls... I'd take the wireless (only cause of the Lazy-boy recliner).
Mucal invader, is there no end to your oozing?!

I've heard good things about those joysticks. I considered getting one awhile back, but they much more expensive.

Never popped one open, but I'd be willing to bet it's not easy... Of course, this is coming from someone who has never seen the inside.

I got one of those once.  It was cool.  Mine ended up defective, the rumble feature didn't work :(

Logitech sent me a pair of them. I'm playing around with them now, pretty cool. I'm thinking about just using them till I can build my 4P CP. Maybe I'll turn them into sticks. I got the 4xAA battery pack for externally mounting the batteries for them.

They are pretty responsive pads.

Hey this seller is located just north of where I work...

check out his other auctions...

maybe send your mame output to a TV across the room simultaneously so others can watch without crowding the cabinet =P
