Also the fire button began to stick (although it still worked) and some of the fingers inside at the bottom of the stick broke off and 1 cracked. Until better plastic is used I do not recommended this. My children used the original Atari joystick on our C64 for years and never broke a joystick, so they know how to use them. I contacted Legacy and told them of the trouble and it sounds like they will refund the money but I really would like to see this product improved so I could buy another.

So far, I have modded one to add extra weight (bothered me ever since 1978 they were so light) and I plan on modding the other (bought two) with extra function buttons. Great joystick!
