Subject: Namco PSX Arcade stick
I have a shiny new toy:

The photo is not mine, but it matches thanks to some elbow grease and adhesive solvent, the nasty stickers on my specific unit are now removed properly. This is a lovely arcade-styled controller with a Happ stick and big, slappable buttons. It looks as though it shares some components with the Hori/Ascii Dreamcast stick of the same design. I ran through some Soul Calibur 2 and Arcana Heart to put the stick through its paces. Bought it for five bucks, American, and I'm sure it's worth fifty still.
I have another Sony-branded stick with similar components that failed for reasons unknown. Some day I mean to open the damned thing up and fix it. For now, this thing will make me better at VF4.
