... £26, a refurbished model would have cost me £100+.

I've been buying MS Sidewinder Prec 2 usb sticks for years off ebay.
Normally sold at 50$ new, I usually manage to be patient and pick them up for around 25$ and shipping.

Still lots of good MS sticks out there, just need to be very sure what your buying, and know what your willing to spend.

I had nothing to do with it, my browser opened automatically and up came this listing  :noid :noid :noid maybe it was the ghost of Lynx or Wilbuz guiding me  :noid :noid :noid

It really is in top notch condition I'm jealous mate! I'll have to post a few pics of my stick, I think to many sweaty hand fights over the years have taken there toll on it  :( that being said I'd hate to see what Batfinks looks like  :D

People on ebay were paying top dollar for the MS feedback stick with the red buttons couple years ago. Don't know the status on price now, but I read there was only a limited amount of the sticks with the red buttons made.

What's the differences between the red button one and grey button one?

I think the red one is a later version, but I don't know what they changed.
