Mad Catz Mad Catz Super Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition S - White

First off, this is an amazing arcade stick with great packaging. You can also mod this stick. There are quite a few resources on the net about this. do a search for Art's Hobbies and Joystick in google to find out.

If you're reading this review, and wondering, is this stick worth the price, the answer is yes. It's a really expensive stick, that's for sure, but you get what you pay for. If you're a retrogamer like me and you spend hours playing not only fighting games but Pac-Man CE, Afterburner Climax, Final Fight DI, etc for the latest consoles, then you owe it to yourself to pick up one.

The Sanwa buttons aren't concave like how you remember most US arcade machines, they are japanese styled, but this actually makes them faster to use, and you won't regret it after using it. They're very light and sensitive. It does take some getting used to to convert from a pad to this stick, but you'll be happy you did.

Very good stick very responsive, you barely even have to touch a button for it to engage. well balanced doesn't move around alot, if at all. Will take some time getting use to if you are converting from a game pad. I recommend the stick to a serious gamer, if your just having fun and not serious about street fighter or any fighter this isn't the route for you!! but if you are you will be completely satisfied!!

While the internals are the same as the previous TE sticks, the smaller form factor (yet same weight) makes it far more manageable for players who keep their sticks in the lap. If you don't have a stick yet, this is the way to go.
