Fire buttons are located on top of each arm and there's an auto-fire knob on the base of the machine. Four suckers keep everything stable and the cable is a good six-foot long .

Admittedly, its spherica l hand-grip proves t o be a worthy feature when compared to some of the other sticks we've reviewed this month, but its unresponsive fire buttons give the machine a decidedly dull feel. Perhaps its best feature is a variable-speed autofire button which can spew out a super- fast hail of shots at its top speed. Unfortunately, the..."
