I like the layout and it's cheap enough to carry out the improvements and void the warranty. When it finally falls apart, I will get something better. Quality of Madcatz products leaves a lot to be desired but you get what you pay for. I (ab)use it a hell of a lot and it still functions....
My Cyborg X is still working ok too after a couple of months use. Maybe i'm lucky? No buttons have fallen off yet and the free play is nothing like as big as the one in the video. So i'm happy with it seing as I paid very little for it and I think its an ok stick for PC sim rookies like me, before thinking about a more expensive stick in the future if I get more serious about Sim flying.
