This may sound silly but I want to hear you guys opinion about it. Is using those exclusive arcade joystick for playing fighting game actually enhanced your gaming performance a lot than using those basic d-pad/joystick? I had been using d-pad/joystick for playing fighting game recently and I kinda frustrated since I have hard time to pull precise movement for my character...and not to mentioned that my thumb hurt.

I am planning to get one for my Ps2/3 but I afraid that I might regret on it later. Just in case you are asking, I am playing 2d- fighting game.

Do you have the idea of how much is the range price for those stick?

Thanks for everyone opinion about this...I think I going to get joystick and see the difference.

I am not playing for competition. I just preferable to master stick so that next time I go to any arcade center, I can waste some time on arcade while waiting for someone or something.

I guess you can say that I also want to enjoy the "arcade" experience as well since I have none on it.

I wish I can go there but I am not living in KL..so it is quite impossible for me...anyways, thanks for the update...Haha

Finally got the arcade joystick and had been playing with it for 2 days and I have rather mixed feeling on it.

first of all, I have extremely hard time to pull normal move but then, in other hand, I can pull those complicated move easily and precisely which is something I can't never do it properly with D-Pad.

and it is extremely awkward to play with such a huge joystick at home..even my family member was like "wtf" when they saw me holding those huge joystick..Haha
