suspicious_milk Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I went ahead and bit the bullet too. I honestly was ready to hate it; and at first I did. Not because it was a "bad" device; but when using it, being the approx shape of a CX-40 forced my muscle memory to treat it as such. It's NOT a CX-40. The throw is different etc. I was failing by the numbers. Once I forced myself to adapt and treat it like it's own thing, it started coming together. I did have to fill the reservoir where the stick screws in with a dab of superglue so the stick wouldn't come unscrewed. It took a little breaking in, as the UP direction seemed flakey at first. Overall though, I'm thrilled. I'm probably going to order at least one more. Now if I can get Atari800 (emulator) to treat the buttons separately without AntiMicroX, I'll be a really happy camper. Edit: Just have to add, for when I'm feeling a little more arcade spirit, nothing beats my ASP (with sanwa stick/buttons added) ? Love that thing Edited June 10, 2021 by suspicious_milk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
