Thank you for the detailed write-up, Tarnish :) I hope you didn't pay too much for that POS?

And by using the word "unfortunately", I think you can tell I'm not too thrilled with it..at all. But hey, look on the bright side: you can extend your "controllers to avoid" list with a new entry.


I found a Naki-branded controller that has a very similar design- potentiometers for the analog stick and triggers. Like this one, they're cheap and poorly-implemented. I figured mine was rare too, but folks on AssemblerGames assured me that it wasn't (although I haven't seen too many of them despite their assurances).

Luckily I paid less than the maximum amount I was willing to spend on it, but now that I know what it's like, I wouldn't give a used bubble gum for it. :lol:

Yeah I seen that topic. :) So the analog stick on that one gets stuck as well?
