Great sitck after modding.
For a not so hardcore fighting gamer this would be a great stick. the Weight it perfect; sitting at 6lbs. You won't feel it move even if your mashing away! However, if modded this stick can be a dream come true for the hardcore. Joystick itself is manufactured by one of the best stick companies in Japan. However, the buttons ...[read more...]

Best stick for modding ... ever Dont listen to anybody its bad. It is yes... but so is EVERY other stick on the market. There is not even one which is perfect, if you want the best grade parts you have to mod it yourself.
Understanding the aforementioned rule, the HRAP is the best chasis ever, great ergonomy, stable, perfect button - joystick layout.
For serious button mashers swapping the most used buttons is highly recommended.
Also depending from your needs/games you are playing there is space to put inside any joystick appart from the most cumbersome ones.
The Sanwa stick is good for beatemups and casual arcade games, but SHMUP fans should mod it with more precise and tighter one. Again - even if you leave it as it is , it the best stick for the masses you can get.
One of the best joystick out there this joystick uses Sanwa stick (the best possible stick component on the market, and is used by high grade arcade machines in Japan), give you the good "touch and feel" which is the same with the highest grade arcade machines. The Hori buttons are good enough for most gamers, and professional level gamers could easily replace them with Sanwa buttons by themselves.
In short, Hori one of the best arcade stick out there, and is a must for fighting games such as Super Street Fighter 4 and Tekken 6.

Good but not enought for the price the product is good but it's only a piece of metal with a Sanwa stick and Hori buttons and a big piece of empty plastic in order to add some volume and stability to the product.
it's true that if you change the square idler for an octogonal one and the hori buttons for some sanwas you got a really good stick but 150$ for the stick plus 150$ for the shipping and the duty (if you live in Europe that is what I paid) plus 45$ for changing the components...
In retrospect I think i should have buy a cheaper and more available stick and modded it the same way.
