Those sticks are MAD... like CATZ!
They look pretty nice but i wish the button rows weren't staggered that way. It's great for the thumb, but it'd be a little awkward for the pinky trying to hit the bottom row if the index, middle, and ring finger are stationary on the top row.
Basically, I think it would be more ergonomic if the buttons were like this:
XXXX
XXXX
or (don't mind the black x's)
XXXX
xXXXX
instead of
xXXXX
XXXX
especially for those games that favor a layout such as
XXX
X_X
but meh, I'm a newb.
BTW, anyone have a resource on different ways to hold an arcade stick(ball-top)? I'm starting to doubt my methods/technique.
