GONEThe joystick is in nice shape, all of the buttons work, however the joystick sometimes gets stuck and/or won't move in a specific direction. I can't recall the exact quirk or which direction gave the issues.
I opened the stick to check the mechanism. It uses springs and such, not a plastic blister. This may be an easy repair if you have spare joystick parts.
This is free. Perhaps someone can repair this item. If no one is interested, this item will either be trashed, or sent to goodwill.
PM me if interested.
