I purchased this joystick to play some old classic games via an emulator (FS-UAE) on my iMac. After remapping the controller I was able to play a few games, none that were demanding on the controller (eg. no fast movement on either axis or rapid firing of the fire button). Then while playing a game I started to hear an unusual clicking noise that I hadn't heard previously. So I disassembled the joystick to see what the problem was. I found at the base of the control stick was cracked (see photos). The plastic base of the stick is thin and brittle, with no flexibility. Anyone who remembers the old Atari 2600 CX40 knows that the control stick was make with a plastic that allowed flexibility at the base to prevent this problem occurring. While I have an idea how I will strengthen and repair the base of the control stick, it is of poor design. It didn't even last one day playing game titles that are not demanding on the controller at all. Read full review

Overall it's a good product, the USB works perfect instantly with no drivers needed. It has the correct dimensions and feel of the original Atari joystick, the only issue is some internal parts do break within minutes of light use, it does keep working but with parts crackling inside it which is very surprising as the original sticks can take years of hardcore use. It could have done with a bit more product testing before going into production.
