Defective with my PS3 I got a defective stick. It worked perfectly with my PS3 for about 45 mins and then the PS3 stopped recognising it. I've managed to use it 3 times since I purchased it 4 months ago. Each time, the PS3 stopped recognising it after a period of time. Because I live in Australia and it play-asia is based in Hong Kong, getting the stick sent back to HK was going to be at my cost and proving that the stick was faulty was very difficult through the complaint mechanism. It's not a fault of play-asia however I will think twice next time, in fact I'll think infinitely more about purchasing hardware online because of the possibility of receivng a faulty piece of equipment. I have not been able to find people experiencing the same problems with this stick on the Internet so I think myself, very unlucky. I can only give the lowest score for this stick unfortunately, however I would love to get this stick fixed... I just do not know how. SFII has always been my game through the 90's and now I stuggle to win a game on SFIV using the gamepad.

Saulabi Joy Stick My Joystick came in Defective. Left Don't even work. I'm already requesting for a refund. Hoping I'll get it but if your looking for a joystick and from the U.S This isn't the one for u . It will run on mame great but if the left button Don't work good luck on trying to block any move from a fighting game.. Then I just shallow out 150 and gotten the 360 tournament Edition fight stick works Perfect on the PC, If i was u guys it's better to pull out 150 instead of 80 plus dollars because 50 bucks for the stick and 34 dollar's for shipping.. Well that's my 2 cents I open the Box push the buttons once or twice the button feels really CHEAP. Thank you and Take cares

Works on Vista right out of the box The parts are really cheap, the joystick is leafswitch; so no clicking noise but also not precise at all. By opening it up, you can see that not the same amount of pressure is required for each direction. In my case, I required more pressure to use "up" and alot less to use "right". The pushbuttons work but do feel cheap. Sanwa's and Happ parts won't fit in this; their buttons are either (OBSF-30) too large in diameter or (OBSF-24) too small. The joystick layout is for korean joysticks and any korean stick will fit right in. If you want to fit Sanwa or Happ buttons, you will need to enlarge the button wholes and the face plate is made out of plastic, like the whole cabinet. Crown 203A pushbuttons will fit right in. There is also a metal plate screwed to the bottom of the case to add weight. The footpads underneat the unit dont prevent it from gliding on a table since the plastic is pretty hard. Measurements : Height=9cm at top, 5cm at bottom, approx. 13cm at top of joystick. Length=38cm at its widest, 34cm at top and 16cm at bottom. Width=24cm from top to bottom. The unit is sitting on a 30cm X approx 18cm rectangular platform. Received 2 days from order date. You will need desoldering tools in order to remove the stock buttons.

Best bang for your buck, works on PC too! I bought one and it works great! The price is unbeatable given the quality.
Large buttons are great. Stick is very responsive. Love the extra surface area to place your hands. Even the tilted face which I was worried about at first turned out to be a comfortable fit. I am using it to play SFIV on my PS3 and couldn't ask for more. I also play MAME games like Street Fighter Zero 3 and In The Hunt which works great.
Two things that could be better... both of which may be due to my own personal style of play (very rough! lots of yanking!). Stick and buttons are slightly on the noisy side and the joystick could be heavier to prevent movement.
