PS3 Madcatz TE Stick

I just recently bought one of these from Fry’s Electronics. I actually got a discount because it was returned.

The joystick feels really loose and I am able to turn it without unscrewing it. I have never had a really good stick like this though, so I don’t know if it is supposed to be that way. It is super responsive, sometimes it feels like things happen on screen before I even input them… it’s so fast.

Are these Sanwa parts supposed to feel like this?

Yep. I always accidentally press buttons while playing and sometimes when I hit a button super hard I get multiple presses. The joystick shaft is supposed to spin freely.

Normal.
No problem.

thanks guys
