Great Arcade Stick April 1, 2010
J. Mendoza (BC, Canada)
Well I decided to get an arcade stick because I was getting a sore thumb from using the dualshock3. And it is a bit on the pricey side but if you really like fighting games and haven't owned a stick before, this one is definitely worth it. It'll be the only stick you should need to buy...unless you want to buy 2 of them. But yeah everything feels great but it'll take a bit of getting used to if you've only played on a control pad. I highly recommend this stick for anyone that's into fighting games.

Madcatz TE stick is the best stick ! All sanwa parts, you can change the art and add some acrylic cover to make this a work of art. Nothing compares to this! Best buy I've done in a long time!

Remember going to the arcade when you were a kid? Quarters jiggling in your pockets (loonies nowadays).
Then later you'd play a mame port of the game at home and it just sucked in comparison. Didn't you always wish you get the same game play at home? So you'd look for arcade controllers or mame arcade machines but the prices were insane. Then you'd look into buying arcade parts and building your own. Well forget all that. The future is here and in your reach.
For years I've always wanted a controller that really played like an arcade machine for my PC. I finally gave up realizing the demand was too small to bring them down to affordable prices. But the popularity of the console market has changed all that! Now there are choices and several of them.
Before sinking 100+ bones on a stick I'm sure most of you will be reading tons of reviews. There are other cheaper sticks like the Hori stick for 40 and you might be tempted, but forget it. This stick is the real thing.
Why is it great? (Glad you asked)
- Built like a tank. This thing will never break. You can wale on it just like you did at the arcade slapping the buttons full hog and it can take it without blinking. Trust me, I would have smashed any other stick by now.
- Heavy. You can play it on a desk or your lap and it won't slide around. Great rubber feet that grab your desk. Feet can be removed and the stick can be mounted to a desk.
- Components are real arcade and have the same feel and sensitivity. The faceplate is the same laminate you find on arcade machines.
- Position of the stick and buttons is same as the arcade
- Works flawlessly on PS3 or with mame on your PC (I run XP)
- Features like a lock out button, so you don't inadvertently hit the PS button and leave a match in the middle
- Price. Worth the cash for a stick of this quality and construction and well thought-out design. Amazon has a really good price for this stick with free shipping, and they ship in a day (if in stock).
So how does it play? Awesome. Extremely responsive, no skips, and comfortable on your hands. A lot of money but you won't need another stick. You can use it for regular non-fighting games but their gameplay is not designed for this controller. You might find some you like this with though.
