How many times has yor thumb started skipping or cramping, pressing down on that textures nub that came with your PSP? 1 time? everytime? Feel like you have no precise control over the textured analog "plate"?

I picked up the Naki world analog stick pack, finally. It comes with 3 analog sticks, each different colors in black greyish white and PS2 blue. *snapped* the sotck one off and popped the black one on, I wouldn't have ever thought I'd prefer the analog to the D-pad while playing Wipeout, nor would I have ever thought using the analog stick would be fun (with the stock nub).

It makes a world of difference when trying to control a game. Left shoulder + down on the analog ACTUALLY allows you to look backward in GTA, I can do wheelies now without swerving left or right, the directions are more precise as well as the ease of using the Naki analog stick tomake small adjustments while not going all the way in that direction.

Now the bad news.

These will not fit in almost any case, without possible modification. They are big, and if they don't fit in PGP (without the rubber top die-cut for the analog stick to fit through. I'd probably be guessing correctly by saying if, while it is on the PSP, it will not fit in the pgp, that it will not fit in most likely any other case as well. This poses a problem since the PSP is primarily a portable system. If you want to protect it, you'll have to bring the analog sticks somewhere else (your pocket) or not at all.

I'm gonna try and remove a circle cut out of the rubber padding on the top of the PGP just to see if I can get it closed with the naki world stick on. If I mess up i'll just buy another PGP. Either way though, it is worth purchasing these sticks regardless of case fit. They make playing games with the analog stick, that much better, I wish I had just ordered them in the first place.

Has anyone tried using this analog nub with the Vaja I-volution? I want a I-volution but would hate to cut up such a nice and expensive case. It's gotta be style or substance... probably no way around that one. Drats.
