Top-notch BlazBlue fan stick For those, who are seriously into the fighting games, especially the one called BlazBlue, this is really a must. Apart from design, that is surely amazing, the stick provides very responsive control - which is a distinguishing feature of all HORI Arcade Sticks. The only thing that some may find displeasing is lack of quick button disconnects in this model, that makes it a bit harder to mod this stick with custom parts. But as for myself, I find this stick wonderful as it is.

Blazblue Fighting Stick This stick is the EX2 model, it mean a very good quality as always with Hori. The answer is good and fast, the contact is perfect, and the artworks wopnderfull.
The Wheel of Fate is Turning The Blazblue Fighting Stick is a good investment if you plan on playing fighting games. Precise and faster directional input with full access to all buttons simultaneously.
Nice arcade stick My first stick. At first kindda hesitated to get this stick as it's expensive but in the end enjoyed using it and no regrets for this marvelous arcade sticks!
Need a fighting stick as well as Blazblue fan?
Get this! Highly recommended
very good arcade stick this stick is literally the hrap stick with nice art to match the game. the art is amazing, the stick is, in my opinion, very good. however not as good as the mad catz sf4 tournement stick
My first arcade stick, great stuff. So this is my first arcade stick, being pretty noob on the subject but I'm in love with it so far. I'll note some useful information about the PS3 version I bought.
This stick is compatible with PC. I read on forums to switch the analog mode in the middle position on 'L' and it worked right away (windows XP pro SP3) it was recognized by windows as a real arcade pro, no seperate drivers were needed.
The colour of the stick is a bit off in the picture, it's a lot lighter. As far as I can tell the only downside about this is the stick not being in the same colour as the buttons, it would've perfected it.
The art plate is nicely scratchproof, it doesn't even get fingernail marks of any sort.
As far as I noticed the stick is a 4-way, plays nice and tight even letting it spring back. The buttons are VERY responsive and obviously don't click, careful when even leaning a finger on them; the spacing between the stick and buttons feels fine for me too.
PC Games I tested it on for a while: MAME, Guilty Gear XX #reload, touhou.
I'll be sure to buy a regular edition Real Arcade Pro 3 sometime in the future for 2 player arcade fun. These are awesome sticks.
Very nice Hori stick I have gotten this stick for a while now and I have to say it's an awesome stick. I've tried many others but they were either too light or the positioning of the buttons weren't that good. Hori did a fine job on the button placement although the joystick could've been spaced out from the buttons a little more. Overall the quality is great and I have no complaints on it.
Great Stick This is my first arcade stick. I was iffy about buying an arcade stick since they are quite pricey. I have had this stick for a few months now and am glad I bought it. I am a notourious arcade stick basher and I have to say that this stick is very solid. People aren't kidding when they say this stick feels like they just ripped it straight out of the arcade machines.
I bought the Blazblue version of the HORI stick. I've read online that it's based on the HORI Real Arcade Pro 3. It's absolutely beautiful. If you can spare money I would highly recommend getting this stick.

Top notch arcade stick I received this arcade stick a month back and I have been very pleased with my purchase. When you purchase this product, you'll get an arcade quality stick that'll vastly improve your experience with fighting games on the Xbox 360 of which there are quite a few. Definitely a worthwhile product.

Great Stick This is my second HORI stick and I have to say that I am once again impressed. Stick works great, very responsive to commands. The only limit is the player's ability. I've found it works great for schmups too. If you're a fan of fighters or just like that authentic arcade experience, then you can't really go wrong with HORI. It comes with stickers too!!!
(Also have to add that the shipping was prompt as usual.)

Quick question i just bought the stick still havent recieved it but i saw that it said "compatable with x box 360 "!!! And underneath that says Japan Doese that mean its only compatible with a 360 from Japan?

Pretty Slick this stick is pretty good I must say, HORI equals quality...
had no problem executing complex moves from Street Fighter 4, which is what matters most among the fighting games, a solid stick in general! :)

good stick a great stick, came to my door fast.
plays well, playing extensively for the past couple of days and no signs of anything bad so far. having 6 instead of 8 buttons on the main panel is a small downside, but if you dont need them, then you dont need them.
Awesome arcade stick. Let me first start off by thanking Play-Asia for amazing service. I ordered this stick Saturday morning (June 27) and it arrived the following Tuesday morning (June 30) Amazing shipping speed.
The stick is wonderful. I tried it out with Soul Calibur 4 and the Marvel vs Capcom 2 demo and it works great. I'm able to pull of moves and combos on the first try with out any problems. I would recommend this stick to anybody who is looking for one. Now I'm off to pick up my copy of BlazBlue. I can't wait to use the stick with BB.
just wait for the tekken 6 wireless controller from hori this is good but i think the tekken 6 wireless controller that is being made by hori for the platnium bundle for tekken 6 is i think better i think people could wiat for that it is coming october 26th but if you can't wait then by all means get this one
Great Quality Fightstick! Well first of all i received my fightstick really fast,thank you very much to Play-asia for fast shipping,great service all in all.the joystick is great out of the box,excellent design and color,i believe it has a sanwa joystick.unfortunately the buttons are soldered but i don't mind because i feel it very responsive as it is(for those who like to mod their joysticks).Now i can do every move with ease in SFIV and other fighting games,i can hardly wait to try it in blazblue!!!
other great feature is that it worked in my pc too.i really recommend this joystick! buy it now!
