Need a review on this Arcade Stick for PS2

I am thinking of getting one of these Interact "Shadow Blade" Arcade Sticks for PS2. It looks decent, but I want to know how it handles.

Man, I DO NOT BUY THAT STICK!! I repeat do not buy that shitty ass stick. It is terrible all around. Dont be cheap buy a good stick. You willbe happier in the long run. I had a shadow blade and it was fucken terrible one of the buttons fucked up real quick and the damm stick is shitty.

I have it... Well, I say buy it only if you can get it really cheap. Here it costed 90€ on release, but I got it for around 20 this summer.

The stick case is big and comfortable, with plenty of room for your hands. You can store the PSX cable inside the case. The problem is the stick and buttons. You need to pull the stick til the end in order to trigger a direction. I opened the stick and managed to fix this problem a bit. The buttons just don't feel right.

One of the advantages of this sitck is that it can work in analog mode, so I was able to use it in my Xbox via a PS2->Xbox adaptor (digital only PSX-sticks don't work this way).

It also has some programmable options but who the hell needs them?

Thank you very much for the info, I will stay clear away from this

my friend bought one, it had a weak reaction to the left direction. He traded for another one, another direction was bad as well, etc.

and after the 4th one he just decided to try something else. and used the store credit to buy mvc2.

if you want a checp stick get one at www.redoctane.com and switch the parts with ones from www.happcontrols.com

Oh well, I hardly ever use it, and all buttons and directions work OK so far. I bought it basically to be used with the xbox, but now I have better solutions for that.

anyone know about this arcade stick?

never heard of it before,... EVER! and I'm a real ps2 buff. So it must be made by some cheap knock-off company. Because I've heard of most every accessory out for the ps2.
