I didn't like the ergo stick for several reasons. The main one being that 
I am left handed and I despise companies that don't take into consideration
all us lefties out here :-)

But the action seemed too stiff. especially the fire button. My finger got tired
after using one of them for around an hour. and it's difficult to press the
fire button rapidly for very long also.
