Well, it's finally happened. The joystick on my SP5 isn't registering "right" presses half the time. The one on my SP3 before it went wrong after a similar amount of time, but I was rather hoping the newer ones would be better quality. Sadly not.

Anyone else's broken?

WHAT?! Nooooo!

I guess I have just been lucky. My old C500 and 5600 never had a problem (ok, it's more of a rocker switch than a joystick, but...) and my SP5m is working just fine. Could there be a little spec of dust or dirt that's causing you problems? Try blowing hard around the joystick, or maybe use a can of compressed air to dislodge it. But be gentle. ;)
