I like it.

It's about 1cmm smaller than DaveC's cap and the little raised nub in the center helps provide a nice tactile feel to the cap. The smaller size allows me to have tighter control than DaveC's cap ... it feels as though I have to push less in a particular direction for the stick to register.

*note: My Wife's '2X also has a DaveC cap, but hers is a bit smaller than mine; more close to the MK II cap in circumference, so these comparasins are based only on my cap.

That aside, I was pleased to get a cool sticker for some lame game whose title escapes me ATM, and a $5 off any $50 purchase coupon No candy, but the coupon was nice

compared to my first edition cap..it is rockin. My first edition cap was painful at times and made gameplay somewhat limited. If you still have a first edition cap..ditch it, get a mkII cap its worth atleast double what you pay.

The first edition didn't have a cap ... 'twas more like a barstool seat.

My main gripe with daveC's cap was the slightly larger size than what I preferred; not to say it was too big, but I always felt like my thumb was rolling around in the dish too much.

I was using craig's cap up until last month when it apparantly popped off at the airport. Im so pleased with it, that when I get the new one I ordered I'm crazy glueing it on

...come to think if it, where IS my cap?

*emails craig*

I'll probably order a mark II cap before glueing anything now. Thanks for the review, very helpful.

Sorry for the bump, but just had add this:

I just now beat my all-time high score for Time Pilot - 141,400 ... this cap rocks hard!

All that's missing to make it perfect is a slight rubbery surface, to give it that RetroCon grip.

OK, you have made me order it from Play-Asia too, looking forward to trying it

You could buy the spray rubber and mask off the areas u dont want the rubber to get on and spray your cap! There you go

Like my fantasies of Rhino Lining my computer case?

I just ordered one as well. Do they take long to arrive?

You can get liquid rubberizer to give it a rubber coating if you really want. .

Not long at all! Less than a full week, maybe 5 or 6 days? I may try some of that rubberizer crap during my next trek to Homeless Depot.
