I have yet to see an Apple brand joystick where both buttons work 
consistently enough to play a game. Plus, I don't really see an easy way to 
open them up. Anyone have any suggestions? My advice is to avoid the Apple 
brand joysticks. Haven't had a problem with Kraft joysticks, and if there 
is, you can easily take them apart.
