value inexpensive for 40 dollars. full upgrade to sanwa at lizardlick costs 50. if you get it for more than 40, better off getting the tournament edition for 130. main parts the joystick is known for having a loose washer problem, i think i was one of the lucky ones, no major problems with it. going to upgrade to sanwa joystick later anyway. buttons all work, the A button (bottom left-most) pivots in place, not a major problem. if using your fingers splayed, the the b and rt (2 bottom middle buttons) sometimes feel kind of sticky. special features turbo works perfectly, easy to use and disengage, the lock switch is convenient, but i can't get emulators to recognize the joystick when it is in anything but D-pad mode. cable is standard, with a separation point in the cable like any microsoft wired 360 controller. design case is comfortable to use for extended periods of time, gentle slope and user ends helps with comfort. metal plate at bottom of controller gives it a nice heft, but jerking the stick to the left too hard can cause it to shift. works well on lap or desk, and there's alot of space to work with on the inside if you want to mod it. closing thoughts good joystick for the price, works flawlessly with most 360 controller enabled 2d games, such as sfiv. wish it had an octagon plate, or a switchable one, since i don't like square that much, but upgrading the joystick will fix that. opening it up also voids the warranty.

I got this as a promo at $30 along with a copy of Super Street Fighter IV. That's an incredible bargain. If you're relatively new to fighting games, this stick is an excellent price point for an introductory arcade stick, at least at $30. The normal retail is $60, which is not nearly as nice of a bargain. If you can find it for $40 or less, buy it. The fundamentals that determine an arcade stick's quality are the joystick itself and the buttons. Joysticks and buttons bought from Japan tend to represent the highest quality, as they're the same buttons that are used in arcades and stand up to the wear and tear of extended use. This stick does NOT have those buttons, but it is built to have easily accessible internals. This makes it easy to swap the cheaper default stick/buttons with higher-quality ones if one so wishes. This does however void the warranty. If you replace the joystick and buttons on this particular model with Japanese-made components (the two best-known companies being Sanwa and Seimitsu), you'll have a stick that's mechanically the equivalent of a Madcatz Tournament Edition (TE) Arcade Fightstick, which retails for $150 and can be found for $100. This makes for a potentially very inexpensive way to effectively get yourself the best arcade stick on the US market. Lastly there are many graphical templates and designs on the web in case you wish to change the art on this stick. So this stick is an excellent starting point to modifying your own stick to personalize it. Again, for those new to fighting games, this is a solid intro stick (for $40 or under). For those who wish to mod, this is a good stick. For pros, this stick's internals won't cut it, and you'll want to upgrade.

And it's not to use it (not factory built at least). The fightstick is defective, clear and simple. I don't know a single person who has bought this fightstick and hasn't had it break on them within the first day/week/month. Mine broke on me after about 4 uses. However, there IS one reason to buy this, for the casing and electronics. If you buy this stick, prepare to also buy new buttons and joystick for it (for an additional ~$50). After replacing the buttons and joystick with Sanwa parts, this stick works perfectly, as well as the much more expensive Tournament Edition, and you'll be saving a good amount of money. WARNING: opening the case, to replace the buttons and joystick, WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. but who cares? if you use the warranty to replace/fix the stick, it'll probably just break again in a day/week/month. As for my star ratings: Overall - the product, in and of itself, is garbage. If you don't expect to upgrade the defective parts, do not buy it. Value - $40 for a stick that's almost guaranteed to break is clearly a bad deal. However, invest another $50 for good replacement parts, and you're spending $90 on a fightstick that's essentially (internally) the same as the $130-$150 Mad Catz Tournament Edition fightstick. So I gave 3-stars because it CAN be a good value. Expectations - if you expect a good product out of the box.. yikes, you clearly didn't read the reviews. But if you expect to upgrade it to have a much better product, then you're getting exactly what you expect. Hope this review helps.
