[quote name='Nephilim']Someone had posted a few pages back about some 'L' button issue he was having with his SP2 so I thought this may be of interest.[/QUOTE]
Yeppers, that was me...and believe it or not, I did notice something a bit off about the diagonal as well. Before I sold my old SP (for $65 on eBay! had it since launch day!) I compared the new Graphite to my super-old Cobalt.
I couldn't officially make out what the difference was, but I could definitely tell the rotation smoothness wasn't quite as good on the SP2. It almost felt like it couldn't hold a proper place at the upper-right diagonal, and would make my thumb want to push on past it, instead of rolling naturally with it. It's so slight for me, that I almost thought it was just my mind/thumb playing tricks on me.
For the record though, Nephilim, I am NOWHERE near as anal as you
Well, while we're sharing, here's an OT anality of mine recently:
I have a clear-yellow PS2 controller (import?) that seems to have a flaw on the analog sticks. My wife always says she prefers our blue one because "it's smoother than the yellow, that one has a grindy feel to it". So after many months of playing Katamari, I finally decided to do something about it. I opened it up and tried to resurface the inner edges. After 1/2 hour of surgery and a lost screw, I realized the best solution was simply applying a small piece of tape wrapped around the inner section of each stick. Now it's as smooth as ice...
