I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. Granted, a more experienced stick user would rather an HRAP and/or a modded custom stick, but as a beginner to stick, I find it to work very well. Very responsive, easy to use. The only problem I have with it is some sticking because I accidentally spilled juice on it. Other than that, there's really nothing wrong with the stick. It's good and inexpensive. Also, EX is only for 360.
