Oh btw, Competiton Pro joysticks were cheap-ass CRAP!!! (flamebait! bring 'em on boys!)
I liked the shape and feel of the Quickshot 2 Turbo but was disappointed when it broke within a week. I got a replacement which also broke pretty quickly. I took it apart and was horrified that it was designed to break. One of the arms that pushed the spring to operate the microswitch had a clear plastic cover in order to stress the spring further. Of course this microswitch failed first. Needless to say I demanded a refund.
I liked the Competition Pro 5000. I have several and my oldest one is at least 15 years old (geez I'm getting old) and still going strong. I bought this as I understood they used standard microswitches which could be easily replaced. I never had to buy replacements.
I did break a CP 5000 once though. I used to play Kick Off2 for hours. I would regularly get frustrated and whack the stick. Well, I did it one too many times and snapped the top plastic shell. I was gutted as it was a special Scotland World Cup edition too. :pissed:
