The best!
Even though i was never a fan of MadCats, I have to admit this joystick is definitely VERY good.
The joystick/buttons are beyond what i could imagine, it's basically the same as playing on the arcades if not better.

If you want response and precision then you have come to the right place folks!

Worth every dollar :)

After much debate I finally decided to drop lots of money on this stick. I must say that I'm very impressed with it's performance (my performance, sadly, is still quite poor).

Initially purchased for SF4, this stick also works beautifully on other fighting games (BlazBlue, Marvel v Capcom, etc).

The buttons and stick are incredibly sensity and take a while getting used to, but they are consistant and not faulting.

Highly recommened if you are a fan of the fighting genre, and even if you aren't.

You have doubt or put off purchasing this product because of its price, but one thing I can say is that this product is worth every dollar~ Their attention to detail amazing and it is the best stick you would of have ever used~

First stick, no regrets!
Was having doubts at first because of the costs but you'll be wrong. This stick feels NOTHING like the ones at the arcades(xmen vs sf etc) and is loose/sensitive. It'll take a week or 2 to adapt but its well worth it because its being used pretty much everyday for both PC/PS3 games.

You can easily play this on your lap and it wont even budge an inch. Placing it on your lap is a good practice for the arcades as well because thats where the stick is usually located.

Thank you play-asia for the great stick, arrived in approximately 3 business days with ups.

Awesome!
Great,great,great stick!!!It's like playing on the arcade cabinet,simply the best arcade stick ever...can't be any better than this!!!Thanx a lot Play-Asia!!!!

Great Stick!
I also own the XCM Rumble Stick and it is night and day these two. The joystick on this one even though it isn't octagonal is so smooth and the grooves aren't deep to the point where you will get stuck or lost in them. The sanwa parts really show.

The buttons are great, they don't click which is awesome, responsive.

The presentation is great, the unit is big and heavy enough that you won't push it around (another problem I had with the XCM Rumble) when playing hard.

It is definitely worth the price compared to other units.

5/5
