Sidewinder Precision Pro here.  My first one lasted one full year before the
primary trigger button started acting up.  Got my free replacement by
Microsoft and that is goin' strong now.  Mind you, I've heard bad things
about the HAT's on any joystick so I refuse to use 'em.  All my strafing is
done on the keys.
