I have to testify that my wife has informed me on more than one occasion she has slammed in on the ground. The one time I saw her do it I thought for sure it was done. I plugged it back in and works like a charm.
I see you CH love and raise you some MS Sidewinder Love...

I've had my MS Sidewinder longer then I have been married. It started playing Mechwarrior. Lasted through Il2 and others. Now playing AH2.
I am certain that my wife desires to defeat my stick, any way that she can! ((Just had our 7th anniversary, 7 year itch inbound!)) But merely dropping my Sidewinder on the floor will never get the job done!
