You got two Namco PS1 sticks now? Very cool!

I have just the one but it's probably my second favourite console stick (after my beloved PC Engine XE-1 Pro HE).

It's just a great all-rounder. Well built. Great stick and buttons. Works with my PS1's, PS2's and with Joy2Key it works on my laptop for Steam, PC and doujin titles via a PS>USB converter.

Superb stick. Well worthy of a solid 2nd place on my personal list of console sticks. The XE-1 Pro HE lacks the compatibility, but it's feature set destroys every other console stick in the entire history of everything. Hence it's 1st place.

If the XE-1 Pro HE didn't exist, the Namco PS1 stick would be my favouritestest.

Yeah have two now, a nice chap on AO was selling two boxed ones at very decent prices so I couldn't pass one up. The other is still for sale I think. That PCE stick is proper rare though isn't it? I remember you went to some trouble to locate one. My PCE doesn't get any use these days so I'll resist trying to find one of those sticks. Going to bide my time now and see if I can locate a certain PCB I'd love to own.

Yep the XE-1 Pro HE is super rare. Took me an age to actually find one. Lo and behold when I did the thing was BNIB, never opened. Struck gold, well worth the wait!

Ah I'd snap up that other PS1 stick but I'm paying for my Japan flights this month and putting in a beefy order for 'stuff' so alas I cannot purchase said stick.

Go get that PCB!

Doesn't Howard in The Big Bang Theory have one of those??
Of course, unlike you, he's not a doctor just an engineer...
Oh, and he's entirely fictional, as opposed to the Retr0-meister, who is mostly legend and myth, half whispered stories of awe told over camp-fires....

Yes, there's a pretty good social commentary on at the moment that will really open your mind. It's called Tallafornia.

It's widely tipped for an award.
