This is not the first stick I have bought for playing the fighting games. My comparisons come from playing for years and on different systems. I had a very good stick for Dreamcast, then for Xbox, and now for Xbox 360 I have this. I also have one of the new Madcatz Street Fighter x Tekken pro sticks. Between this and the new madcatz stick, I honestly feel this one is just as good except for one thing. The start button is on the right of all the other buttons and if you have someone using it that loves going crazy on it they will keep hitting start over and over again. Also the cord is not very long, definitely not as long as the tournament sticks but long enough for most occasions. Last thing, see notes below regarding.

Pros:
Extremely responsive.
As professional as you can get in terms of the quality of the parts inside.
Can stand side by side to the pro tournament sticks made by Madcatz.
Able to perform very well with this stick with practice of... Read more

Great stick! This is my first every arcade stick, so I cannot compare it to any other sticks. I researched and found out it had Sanwa parts and it was on sale at the time so it was one of the least expensive sticks with Sanwa parts. I bought it and couldn't be happier. The stick works well. The buttons feel kinda plasticky, but I've been mashing them and seriously hitting them really hard and they seem to hold up well. It still works just like new. Pretty much a great product. I rarely write reviews on things on buy, but this thing is SERIOUSLY FUN. I love being able to slam my hand on a button to execute a move and not have to worry about the controller breaking. Arcade stick is WAY more fun to play with than a controller.
