Very GOOD one~
VERY GOOD!This is a fantastic Arcade Stick with quality parts - it feels brilliant to play with. Build quality is very good - it's sturdy enough that you don't think it's going to break, but it's light enough that you can play with it on your lap with comfort.

I've been playing Super Street Fighter IV on my PS3 with it, and it is definitely better than any other arcade stick I've tried (though granted, they have all been much cheaper sticks).

This stick also works fine out of the box on Windows 7, with the Steam Street Fighter IV, as well as MAME etc. I have also used it on Mac OS X 10.6, after installing a PS3 controller driver that is freely available on the internet.

Great Product
I bought this stick, primarily for BlazBlue CS, and it's been nothing less than great. Well worth the price.

Excellent Stick however....
I bought this stick so I could play MAME games, and street fighter IV etc, and so far I really like it. I am a bit frustrated by how noisy it is to use but I am guessing this is due to it being empty inside. I also dont like the dust cap that is loose on the stick which rattles lots. Other then that a great stick and worth every penny. I can see myself enjoying this item for a very very long time.

The #1 Arcade Stick straight out of the box!
I mainly play Street Fighter III Third Strike on my MacBook Pro & Street Fighter IV on my PS3 with this. This already makes a great point. You will always get a Two-In-One! Hori's PS3 sticks will always work with both Mac's & PC's via plug and play. To my knowledge there's never any messing around with drivers involved.

But on to the really important stuff. As the box indicates, this time around you're getting a FULL Sanwa kit out of the box! If you've ever been to Japan, or managed in any other way to play on a Viewlix arcade cabinet (and I mean a genuine one, with the REAL parts!), you'll immediately love this stick. It feels absolutely like that. Even the layout of the casing has been based on that very design. Starting off with spacing between stick and buttons, as well as the button layout itself over to the fact that the start button is to the right of of your main buttons. It's still far enough though that you should never hit pause by accident.

I always really liked the HRAP (Hori Real Arcade Pro) series for the Sony consoles, yet the buttons and stick never felt 100% right. Better than ANYTHING else on the market, yes! But still... now that they come fitted with a Sanwa stick and buttons out of the box, there's no more need for tedious customization which incurs, importing the items, opening up your stick, in the worst case scenario even having to buy the exact tools to open up your stick, etc.

This is not the cheapest stick you'll find, but it's the best you'll ever get from a streamlined manufacturer! As per usual quality has its price, and you won't regret getting this one if you're out to spend some money anyway.

If you play other arcade style games that were meant to be played on a stick, such as shmups or Beat 'Em Ups, you'll feel right at home with this.

Personally I don't like the Madcatz sticks at all, so to me there's no contest!
