Theres the MadCatz stick though I'm not sure when it comes out.
The Kuro's are manageable....Just not that good. They don't get stuck though, but depending on how unlucky you are with the condition your buttons come in, one or more of them may begin to have a very slight wedged in feel to them. Sorta like if a small piece of food got in between the button and the rim. The squeaking is also up to how unlucky you are with the condition of your buttons.
Pretty much, the Kuro's main problem is you're essentially going to the lottery in terms of the condition of your buttons. You may get a set with no problems whatsoever, or you may get a set with the two problems I mentioned above. You could be like me and just replace all the buttons with Gamerfingers, which ends you up with a gdlk stick.
