Pros: It's the original joystick, and it works great after being connected to a PS5; it looks awesome; it's the Japanese edition; at first I wanted the purple one, but then I spotted this one by chance and changed my mind. There is no creaking in any other directions, I expect it to fade with time, and it doesn't seem to annoy the ear, but the crosspiece does creak when pressed on the right, as another reviewer mentioned.
