Why did your fighting sticks have firmware?

  Aren't all sticks made out of firmware? But I, too, am very curious to hear the answer.

  Fighting sticks - like gamepads for fighting games, maybe? https://www.frys.com/product/8805412 https://www.frys.com/product/8805412

  “Fightsticks” - joysticks for fighting games - often have the ability to program macros into their buttons, so as to make it easier to pull off the lengthy input sequences these games are built around.

  Oh... it's basically a joystick. Fight stick -> arcade like joystick that is usually used on fighting games. The firmware was basically usb-hid to behave like either joystick or keyboard. It also had some fancy de-bouncing code for the buttons.
