Great stick
Works perfectly and has a very nice "click" sound when using the stick. The buttons may feel a bit too "squishy" though as they only register as being pressed when you push them down half-way, which is a bit weird. But still a great stick, and it's worked perfectly in every fighting game I've tried so far.

Best for PS2 + XBOX
This is the best stick for both a PS2 and an Xbox using a MagicBox adaptor. All buttons work exactly as you would think, and is perfect for both Soul Calibur 2 and any fighting game. YOU WIN! PERFECT!

Truely A Grade A+ Stick
I've tried almost every stick out there, and have not had as much fun as with this one. Its Hori made,so that alone ensures satisfaction. The stick is japan style, and the buttons are perfect fits, without too much noise.The base is very sturdy, yet doesnt weigh a ton. For its price,arcade worth, and travel size, this is a must buy.

Top Quality
I bought a Nuby a while back and it was a piece of garbage. I'll be honest, this is the best fighting stick I've ever owned, hands down. Hori has made one high quality product. The stick itself is sturdy and durable, while the buttons are equally resilient. Likewise, both give off that nice arcade-style click when you move/push them. Note, however, that the stick is inside of a square holder, which could be a turnoff for some. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this stick.
