The TAC-2 sucks heavily, I don't understand why it got such a cult status .. did people start hyping it because the case said "tested to 5 million moves and it didn't break"?

Blasphemy!!! :-o  :-o  :-o
Burn him! BURN HIM!!!! :-x  :-x  :-x

TAC-2: Pro/Con-list

+ robust (I have seen many where the contact ball has broken off after a decathlon session, however)
+ fits in your hand nicely

- firebuttons that either make contact or not. firebuttons must work EVERY TIME, not "if you press them right". This is also a problem with the ZipStick, you need to press at the very center of the button, else they jam before making contact.
- some versions go loose (I mean loose as in 0 resistance and no centering)
- flimsy rubber pads that disintegrate

Hmm what more, I think that about covers it.

I'll keep my Comp Pro, thanks. :-) I still don't understand what makes the TAC-2 excel above others.

I've heard others complain about the fire button reliability of the TAC-2s, but my stick has allways worked fine. Agree about the rubber pads though...
