I honestly can't fathom how you tolerate sticks that loose. When mine get halfway that bad I figure the controller's junk and stop using it. :S
Yeah when M2K was here I handed it to him'em and he handed it back right away (only doing one chair rock in the process) and said something like too old/used.
It's great for Falco though, I raised my Falco on this thing. Otherwise in PM characters like Diddy I feel are okay with it too. But overall I'm at a detriment using its control stick for PM and most PM characters, like I'd say for DK. But I used this controller since 1.0, until my friend around a couple months or something before 3.0 gave me an extra purple he bought.
It's great (shown in the video as comparison) where the sticks normal, and everything is normal. Except the hard press click is stiff beyond not working often

This makes it the perfect light press air dodge version controller, and I'd rather fight/wait for custom control light press in the Fullset rather than trying continue this modify it like crazy necessity like the thousands of others out there have to so it can still be sub-optimal in comparison to how great light press is: and save those others in the future from it too. And when you weaken springs and such to make it good for hard press, weak springs feel worse to use for light press. And like I've experienced, when you weaken the hard press to an ergonomic point it's only a matter of time until it becomes weakened more and loses the click altogether; making it from arguably more accurate to less than in comparison to light press air dodge. And you also pry want a spacer in there like some people do, so you're hand doesn't have to travel as far and can retain larger control area grip: but this is all stuff just mimicking what makes light press great. And even if I gave up on light press, and tried to modify this controller to suit hard press air dodge: it'd still not be what I would want for Melee Falco.
Like seriously the spirit of smooth swag hearted Falco RESIDES in my loose old Melee controller, I don't feel connected to him or Melee with most any other
