Excellent & Affordable Stick
By Carlos Gustavo
I was worried this fighting stick was going to be of low quality because of the price. I was wrong. This is a control that offers an amazing gaming experience for a real fair cost. Honestly after buying this I truly believe all other arcade controllers are way over-priced.This stick has the perfect size, the perfect layout, the perfect amount of buttons. It works excellent with the PS3 and the laptop, as well with the PS2. I played it for various hours at a time without it giving me any kind of problems.The stick itself is well made, and completely responsive, it plays just as well as the analog on the PS3. I tested it with all these games and it works wonderful:PS3Super Street Fighter IV Arcade EditionThe King Of Fighters XIIThe King Of Fighters XIIIMortal Kombat 9Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online1942 Joint StrikeStreet Fighter III 3rd Strike Online EditionSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD RemixMortak Kombat Arcade KollectionTekken 6Mortal Kombat Vs.

You can set it up between 4/Hz, 6/Hz, 8/Hz and 12/Hz.It has all the buttons of the Sony controllers:SquareCircleSelectStartTriangleXL1L2R1R2The PS Button (Very important for the PS3)L3R3As well as the Turbo and Clear buttons, that can also be used on emulators.Because the layout is well made, you can easily set the buttons on Mame toB1 - 6B2 - 2B3 - 1B4 - 7B5 - 4B6 - 3B7 - 0B8 - 5... in order to replicate the exact layout of most arcade machines like the MVS. If you are playing Mortal Kombat in Mame, you can just set it toB1 - 3B2 - 5B3 - 0B4 - 2B5 - 1B6 - 4... in order to replicate the Sony setupI plug my laptop to my HD Bravia with the VGA cable to enhance the experience, I use the PS2 with the component, and the PS3 with the Hdmi. You can do the same and use the scanlines when available.It is very solid, perfect weight, not heavy, yet it has enough weight to keep it still, I like the materials with which is made, it looks and feels of great quality. It feels very durable, it will hold well the pass of time, even if used often. It also makes all the sounds of a real arcade machine.What I love the most is that the stick is far and separated from the buttons, which is something you simply can't get anywhere else, not even with the most expensive sticks.The controller light is set to player 2 on PCs, but that is just the light, when you plug it with the USB it will still be used as player 1, or if you want you can also set it yourself to player 2 with the emulator.On the PS3 the lights blink and on the PS2 they are off.The cable is a little short, but that is convenient when it comes to not have to tie it up, either way you don't really play arcade machines from too far. The cable is not too short either, it still holds and adequate distance for a big screen TV. Even though it has a great size, it is still very portable and light enough. I often carry it around between rooms.I love the fact that they only chose to set it for PC, PS3, and PS2, which are honestly the best home consoles to play arcade games. That way it doesn't have all those unnecessary plugs for other systems hanging out.Problems:The only problem with the control is that on the PS2 you cannot switch the use of the stick between D-Pad, The Left Joystick, and the Right Joystick, it is default on the D-Pad only, which works well for most games, but in games like Mortal Kombat Armageddon you can play very well in the fighting section which uses the D-Pad, however you cannot play in the mini car section which uses the Left Joystick.Despite that, I still give the control 5 stars, considering the built, size and price.Update: For those who were having doubts about the Select + Start function I uploaded a video to show how it works. Here it is:[Look for the link in the comments because I guess they didn't allow me to post the URL here on the actual review]

Piece of Junk & a complete waste of money !
By P
I bought this to use on my PS3 & everything works except moving right. So it's useless because you can't play a game w/o moving to the right. I basically just wasted $30 on this stick. I would return it, but i don't even feel like messing with the hassle. I tried doing the select+start process that it tells you to do on the back of the box & still it never would let me move to the right. Way to go Playtech, you got my 30 dollars & a promise that I will never buy anything else ever again from your company. Stay away from this stick ! It's a complete piece of Junk & a waste of your hard earned money.

So far not so good...{UPDATE 1/8/2013}
By Dabreun Cooper
Well i bought the Arcade stick thanks to a review by Carlos Gustavo and man i was dissappointed. Everything works except moving right and even when i do the select + start thing i still have problems. It is driving me crazy. If anyone can help please because so far i am disappointedUPDATE: Well i finally got it to work thanks to someone from youtube. All we did was open it up and moved a wire and it worked. I am dissappointed that this item came in not working and us actually having to open it and fix it. The Arcade stick is fine and the buttons well..i don't like how they feel and after a long while it hurts my hand..this was not worth the buy..
