I took it in 2022 for 1800r for these 9 years, I threw it, dropped it, sat on it, it works flawlessly. It sits comfortably in the hand (in comparison with ps2-ps3 joysticks, I have not tried newer ones). For the 6th year of use, the buttons began to stick, I disassembled the joystick, washed it and everything became perfect again. Of the visible damage, only scuffs on the wire. If I have 3-4 joysticks with broken sticks lying around with old curling irons, then this one does not show signs of fatigue. 12 out of 10 for reliability.
