Any Good PS2 Arcade Sticks?

I'm looking for a good arcade stick for PS2. Can anyone recommend a good one?

I have the ASCII stick for the PS1, it should be compatible with the PS2. I like it a lot.

I've never tried this arcade stick, but it looks cool.

i have the shadowblade stick which is decent for $40. but the problem i've found is that for games where the gamepad and the left stick do different things, you're kinda stuck.

spasmolytic - Do you know a place where you can purchase that?

young - I've heard bad things about this stick. My friend had one for the DC and it broke after a few months. Have you had any problems with broken/sticking buttons? Is it true that the hole for the stick is square?

no, no problems... i've had it for almost a year now. i never noticed that the hole is square, but i just checked and you are right. i mean, the boot covers it, but when i move the stick in a circle, it's really a square...

As for the square, do you ever have a problem completing moves in fighting games? I mean, I can see how someone would find it difficult to complete a half turn when they are moving around a square.
