I'll give you the lowdown: I took it back to the shop, talked about with the shop assistants, who basically saw I was a man who knew his fighting games, and we tested out a couple of the pads over a game of KOF2000 to see what the score was wrong. It wasn't the best test, as I'd wanted Virtua Fighter or Street Fighter, but they didn't have a copy, and my 10 minute mess around wasn't too conclusive. They were very accomodating though, and let me have a replacement, but thought I was being a nitpicking sod, lol (I was!). Now, my replacement is an interesting beast: initial tests showed it was stiffer than the first, and (now get this) the problem was now with the left side of the pad!!! Well, overall it is still more manageable than the first pad, and I only fluff moves down the left side once in a blue moon (sometimes pressing left comes out with down+left if you hit it a bit too low), so decided to keep this one. The tightness down the right means that doing diagonals was a bit tough at first, but it is starting to loosen up a little after I did some hardcore blasting out of Akira combos on it! Overall, it allows me to do tricks that were otherwise impossible on the PS2 pad. Do let me know if you notice the same problem with the d-pad though!
Out of curiousity, how much did the NG stick cost you, including postage (I'm assuming you got it via Liksang)?
