Solid Arcade Stick for Fighting/Arcade Games
I bought this joystick so I could really enjoy the arcade feel of playing fighting games as well as the Xbox Live Arcade games I own. The description for the product isn't that great so I thought I would provide some more information on this product. The stick itself feels pretty responsive although it does make a clicking noise when it is pressed against the edges. I'm assuming that was done to let the player know they are successfully pulling off motions. I personally don't mind it, especially with the game volume on.
The joystick is indeed wired but it is very long so I don't see it being an issue for most people. Wireless would of been nice but I guess at least this way you have zero chance of losing a signal in a heated match (although I've never lost a signal with my normal 360 controller). The cord does have a release in case you tug too hard on it just like the older Xbox controllers. You connect the joystick via USB (flap by power button on console).
The joystick itself feels pretty sturdy and is responsive. It does not include any special features such as slow motion or turbo in case that's your thing(like the old school NES Advantage). The only reason that I have not given this joystick a full 5 rating is because the joystick is not compatible with a lot of non-fighting games. The stick is mapped to the directional pad and does not support Analog control. What this means is you can't use it for most other non-fighting games like Lost Odyssey that support movement with the analog stick. Not a big deal since I got this stick for fighting games only but I thought everyone should know.
I can't speak to it's long term durability at this time but will probably update this review in a month's time to indicate whether the stick becomes too loose or buttons become non responsive.
*Update: Well, I've been using this joystick for about a month now and it's still good as new. The stick is not loose and the buttons are still very responsive. Overall, a very nicely made joystick.
Time tested and solid
This is the same stick that was issued as the Dead or Alive 4 joystick; the non-decorated version is known as the Fighting Stick EX2. The joystick has a nice soft feel -- very good for rolling quarter-circle moves. I've used it in Street Fighter Anniversary Collection as well as DOA4 and Soulcalibur IV; it's well worth the money and the build quality is quite good -- other EX2s I've used have had no problem over the long term with durability. Also, it's small enough to fit on your lap if you don't have a coffee table or TV tray.
However, while this stick is excellent for fighters, it's not so good for classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man or New Rally-X -- the soft-springed joystick doesn't feel accurate in those games, which were designed with stiffer four-way sticks in mind. But if you use it with the games for which it was built, you'll be quite happy.
Xbox 360 Hori Fighting Stick is Awesome!
The Hori arcade (or "fighting") stick consists of Sanwa parts (I believe). It's based on Japanese Game Center cabinet designs, with the Sanwa ball-top joystick and Sanwa convex buttons (which are setup with a curved finger layout). The quality of the product is very high. The base of the arcade stick is plastic, but there is weight to it. You can use it on a table or just hold it in your lap.
The stick works great for most Xbox 360 fighting and arcade games - any game that doesn't require the use of both analog thumbsticks and/or the left and right triggers of the standard 360 controller.
It allows you to setup your own arcade at home - it works great for fighter games (such as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Dead or Alive 4, Virtua Fighter 5, Soul calibur 4); shoot'em ups (such as Ikaruga); puzzle games (such as Super Puzzle Fighter 2 HD, Puzzle Quest); and action/adventure games (such as Bionic Commando Re-armed, Mega-Man 9).
There is a lot of versatility you can get out of this stick. It's a great product at a good price, I highly recommend it.
