USB Joystick Arcade Style Game Pad Reviews - PC042

Pros: Its big, heavy, and sturdy. Just like an arcade pad should be. Its also very cheap and a great way for anyone to get the arcade experience at home on a budget.

Cons: ball on joystick gets loose sometimes while playing, it just screws back tight though.

Other Comments: This is a great arcade stick that is awesome for budget minded people, or someone who wants a platform to mod with.

Pros: "it doesnt have sanswa parts" or how ever you spell it... Alright this stick is good, why? because I can still kick ass with it, yea it dont have the "parts" but if you want too you can have someone mod it for you and pay probably another 60 dollars to upgrade it into an even better stick. Im able to do the Dragon Punch- Ex Cancel- Ultra combo with Ryu alot better with this stick than with the fight pad, I also beat my cousin 20-3 matches at my house on the PS3 with him using the fightpad and me using this stick.

Cons: Its not compatible with the xbox 360 aswell...you would figure it would since it works for a pc.

Other Comments: People just hate because it dont have the sanswa parts and Im the type of guy that if I need too, I will try something out to get my own conclusion and this is it. It is a decent stick for the casual street fighter player, and if you want to go all the way? this stick can be modded and will be able to use on a laptop when Street Fighter for the PC comes out. so hope this helps anyone because ebay has the other Fight sticks going at $150 dollars or more.

Pros: Sturdy, stable and has a comfortable layout. Compatibility with 3 platforms is nice. No major input lag observed on the PC or PS2 (have not yet tried it on the PS3). Would make an excellent modding base.

Cons: Joystick and buttons are rather loose and quite noisy. The cord is only about 3 feet long. Will not function correctly on PC unless the included drivers are installed.

Other Comments: Overall, this was definitely worth the price I paid for it. I wrapped some electrical tape around the joystick actuator to tighten up the controls and so far have had no problems in fighting games (everything ranging from charge moves to full 360° moves can be performed reliably). The noisy clicking from the joystick comes from the microswitches, which can be replaced with standard joystick microswitches with a bit of soldering. The case and PCB seem easy to modify, so the stock parts can be replaced with arcade quality components.

Pros: -hefty -universal (ps2/ps3/pc) -Stick works fine for its price -It works -Has a square restrictor, can be a con for some people but I like it

Cons: -Can't always be trusted. I've heard stories of people receiving faulty units, my unit worked fine right out of the box however. -Buttons are plunger, but I get around -depending on where you live, shipping can be a pain

Other Comments: -Many people say this stick is overrated, well yah because they're comparing it to nicer sticks they buy/mod. For a price around 35-40 bucks I'd say this stick does well. -A lot of people don't like the clicking noise the stick makes, I personally don't mind since I'm usually sucked into my game and don't hear it. -I heard it is "easy" to mod, good beginner stick too

Pros: Works great. I haven't had any problems yet.

Cons: Nothing so far.

Other Comments: Glad I got it.
