Summary: could be way better
Comment: overall the stick is good, but after only 3 weeks my X button began to fail. Now it only works half of the time. Looks like I'll be moding this stick with better buttons sooner than I thought!

Summary: Pretty decent stick for the non-elitist
Comment: I find this is a pretty good arcade fighting stick overall. It's not as good as my old Street Fighter Anniversary stick on the PS2/Xbox - it's a lot clickier and a different feel - from what I hear it's the square plate underneath.

Some of the fighting game elitists will say the stick sucks and recommend a 100+ or custom-built stick. I don't think that's the case. I think this is a perfectly serviceable stick. I find the diagonals are a little touchy once in a while to hit, the buttons are serviceable, and it's miles better than an Xbox controller.

4/5. Good stick, not as good as some older sticks, but can't be beat for the price.

Summary: PERFECT
Comment: This is the ONLY arcade stick you need to own, it is the BEST on the market (of course, it's a Bandai Product) hands down, and it's built like a tank, this baby will keep you fighting for years, the victories in battle are up to you.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Slightly inferior to PS2 SC2 Stick.
Comment: This stick is almost identical to the PS2 Hori SC2 Stick, with the addition of the extra Xbox360 buttons. It's solid and smooth, the only gripe I have is the palm rest was shortened by a few inches, making it sort of unconfortable for people w/ larger hands, as you can't rest your hand on the surface of the stick. You end hanging your hand off the bottom edge.

In any case, it's still a great stick, and I still couldn't imaging playing Soul Calibur on a joypad.

Summary: Time tested and solid
Comment: 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.
