Fantastic page. He really covers things in wonderful detail. I'll have to link to that next time someone asks on a forum about a stick and everybody recommends those awful X-Arcade sticks.

Gotta love those Byrdo sticks. They're amazing.

They could be better, though. Presentation is not everything, you know.

I'm not in a position to try them so I'm not sure how they stack up in the usability stakes. I don't even like how many of the newer ones look. I think his earlier sticks were alot prettier. Particularly this one:

One of the guys from the VFDC forums used to make gorgeous ones too. Catch22 Gallery.

Their best features aren't properly shown in a photograph, though, that's what I meant. For instance, they're almost 4-kg. I got him to make mine (2nd picture) with configurable buttons, and better yet, with the analog / digital switch from the Dual Shock. Useful if you want to play Odin Sphere and whatnot.
