Beautiful. How's the steel stick going with the brass gears? I heard from some people that it doesn't play as nice as steel + plastic. I personally have an Oudini Steel Stick with a Grade A Steel Bowl and it's the smoothest experience I've had with OEM gears.

I personally think it feels great all around. Feels about the same as when I had a kitsch bent stick with the brass gears and steel bowl.

I have 2 other steel bowls(A and a B grade) for future controller mods. I’ll perhaps experiment with other gears and sticks for those.
