Need a quick piece of advice...

Just spotted this on Ebay.

Whats the size difference compared to the arcade stick that comes with the AES system, its hard to tell from the photos.

Also, is it anygood? I can honestly say i've never even seen one before.

Those are a lot smaller than the old style ones. It also feels cheaply made.

Ugh, and who knows where that pillow has been. looks kind of dirty.

This is the "controller pro." I have only one of these, been using it for almost 3 years now without a hitch.

It's about 2/3 the size of the old rectangular gold system joysticks. The buttons are nice and big, and the thing will fit into your lap nicely. The joystick is nice and stiff (but not too stiff) and clicks. Loudly. For the first few days (maybe weeks), you'll wish the joystick were longer (it's very short), but if you can get used to it, it's actually a very good controller otherwise. If you can get it at a reasonable price, go for it, unless you have very big hands.

Hmmmm, mabye ill stick to my neo joypads. You can't quite top playing windjammers with neo joypads i tell ya. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I remember some one on these boards saying that they actually can handle these joysticks as they were joypads. he would rest his thumb on the groove on top of the stick. Maybe this is a good alternative if you are handed like Andre the Gian(R.I.P.)...

I've got joysticks very similar to the one listed in the hyperlink... they are probably the same, but something does look a tad different. I like them exponentially better than the larger version of the joysticks. I like the button setup more... it's comfortable on the hands. Something about the joystick also feels more responsive.
