ps2 virtua stick

i've recently come across a ps2 virtua stick for $100, shipped from japan. the only thing stopping me from getting it right away is that i don't know enough about the stick to justify paying $100 for it.



from what i can tell it's a solid stick, and i absolutely love that it has a four button snk layout on the bottom. i just can't find any specs for it anywhere nor any real testimonials on how good it is; all i know is that it's rare.


so has anyone here ever owned this stick or used one? more importantly, i'd like to know what the specs on it are (joystick/button model numbers specifically) so i can determine if the factory parts would be to my liking.

 

I bought two of these a few years ago. The stock buttons did begin to stick after a few months, which was what finally motivated me to put Sanwas in. It is VERY easy to do so though, as it has Quick Disconnects. The stick itself has never given out on me and remained responsive all this time. It has a square gate and makes a lot of clicky noises.

The button layout is great. You have buttons on the bottom for your thumb, all fingers, and even pinky. The slope of the layout makes it fit your hand perfectly. Very comfortable to play on.

 

thanks for the feedback.

the little i have heard about this stick has all been positive, so i think i'm gonna get it.
