I have four of the el-cheapo Apple brand joysticks, all of which have
had intermittency problems with the two fire buttons. I've gotten
by using my atomizer mist of rubbing alcohol to make them usable
temporarily.
Now, I have fixed the buttons by opening up the joystick (two
phillips screws on bottom, nearest the vernier adjusters), and
spraying WD-40 lubricant on the buttons. The first two joysticks
I have done this to now work great....
