Nice post MMS!
I have an older version which is a transparent plastic one and came with a load of C64 games on CD.
Personally I don't rate my own one. 
It's based on the Zip Stick design, (Metal shaft presses the switches) so is not as precise on directions as a real comp pro which uses a square block to move the switches. It's not always precise on diagonals and you can press the up/down switches when you press left/right...
It also works on the C64 mini/maxi but those triangle buttons get in the way of pressing fire and on the C64mini/maxi it can open the system menu if you accidentally press it. These triangle buttons should of been on the other side, (at the back) of the stick.
The micro switches are very annoyingly LOUD!! 
The stick has it's uses of course.
