Oooh! Ouch!

I deserve that.

Didn't mean for that to come out as it did. Do know, that I am EXTREMELY satisfied with what you sold me Gobs. I never really had the chance to thank you again...you DID go out of your way to help me out, and dude, I'm sorry you may be mad. This thing kicks ass...that's all there is to it. I'm a big fighting game fan, so I was going to swap the sticks out for some good fight sticks no matter what.

When I hooked it up to the PlayStation, the lower cornered Player 1 buttons didn't work. Didn't help to move to a PC either. A buddy and I opened it up and started investigating, it appeared to us that those buttons perhaps NEVER worked. The connector was crimped onto the plastic of the ground wire! LOL! Honestly looked like a manufacturer's defect. That's why I figured it was strange there was no mention.

We literally just melted off the plastic on the end of the wire and reconnected...voila. Brand new!

For the record, Gobs is the man, and I...uh...have an egg in my face.
