Has anyone ever thought of getting an arcade joystick for fighting games on your Xbox 360, PS3 or PC? I'm been wondering how we gonna play these games with gamepad without hurting your fingers on long periods of play especially on SF4. lol

You will be asking for a good beating in the game if you keep slamming the buttons

If you got credit card there, we both can order this: X-ArcadeThat thing cost RM422 (PC Adapter included). Add RM112 for PS2/PS3 adapters. Need to have PS2 adapter in order to use the PS3 adapter. That whooped up to RM534  For lower budget, Hori fighting stick are available at Play-Asia but only support PS3 through the USB port.

Wah, that thing is so pricey. I remember old Sega and Capcom joysticks costs around RM100-150 for single, RM 250 for double. Their joysticks are in high quality too.

Yeah it is very pricey but it is very tough durable as well. They even dare to offer lifetime warranty. It is very hard to get those older joystick nowadays.

I know that is a good one but I think I'll see what I can find for other brands and keep you posted. X-Arcade is still a bit ridiculous for the price.

Play-asia sells some nice joysticks with positive reviews. I wonder if anyone tried any of those yet. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-1i-49-en.htmlToo bad Sega Virtua Stick is out of print.

Good find but i have actually browsed that page for the gaming controllers. All of them are single player only.
That Sega Virtua Stick buttons is a mess. Saulabi looks good, circle holed but too bad don't have the double one nor support PS3.

Well, you can always get 2 of them. hehe QUOTE im using ASCII Arcade Stick for PS2 and DC (with Xbox and Saturn as well via converter). it's the closest i can get to the arcade stick.. never liked hori or the x-arcade. I see, where did you get those? Sega Virtua Stick High Grade: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rjw.htmlI think this one is the same or better than the joystick they used on their arcade cabinets.

RM256 for a one player joystick. lol
At least it is quality built like X-Arcade. I still prefer Sega because I used their old virtua stick before.

Yeah, what to do, unless we know how to mod it ourselves  Yes, the quality is better than X-Arcade/Hori and the button are lil sensitive based one of the website review. Good for people with fast fingers
