I love watching videos like this where people talk about all the arcade sticks and their thoughts on them. Thanks for sharing. I was happy to see lots of the arcade sticks I worked on featured in the video.

Great video, I made my own fight stick, I am very happy with it, but I can't wait for the PS5 to release so we can get new fight sticks!

In my case, it's quite simple. I've got a Hori Real Arcade Pro V and will probably use it until it breaks because I only play on PC. I didn't need to do anything special to get it to work; I just plug it in and it's good to go.

Nice vid! I wanted to add one more advice for people; consider buying mid-range and premium fightsticks used on Ebay or craigslist. Fightsticks are durable in general, and the sticks and buttons are easily exchanged. You can easily find a premium stick for a midrange pricing, and midrange sticks under $100. I wouldnt buy something like a Qanba Drone or Hori mini used only because the knockoff parts tend to break faster, and you might end up spending your savings on just quickly replacing parts shortly after purchase.

Very Informative! My advice tho is just look for any fightstick that's over $100 from name brands like hori, qanba, razer, etc and try to look for them on sale any time you get online. Typically anything you get over $100 is gonna be great regardless of whatever parts they use. Alternatively, you could go to local arcades and find some fightsticks there. If you're lucky, maybe you'll find an arcade stick at stores like TJ Max, or Ross where they get their clothes and stuff from other stores that didn't sell those items. That's where I picked up a hori soulcalibur vi xbox one fightstick for $42. If you're not picky, you'll definitely have no trouble finding a fightstick in the $100+ price range.

Hori Fighting Edge is well worth the price for its extraordinary comfiness. The shape, height and wrist space on this thing is PERFECT

Heya Joystick, I just wanted to say that from a guy who came across your channel knowing next to nothing about arcade sticks, I wanted to make the leap and your channel has helped so so much! I was overjoyed to find a channel that specializes in it! Thanks for all you do, can't wait to see your subscribers grow!

I've been using my Qanba Obsidian for about four months now, and I love it! Prior to my purchase, my friend was letting me use his Razer Panthera, which also felt really nice. I have to say though, the easy access to the inside was a nice feature of the Panthera that I kind of miss. Still, I'm glad I got the stick that I did. Unmodded, it plays and feels really nice. At the very least, now I have a reference to look back on, if I ever feel the need to get another stick. Thanks for this video!


On a side note: the aforementioned friend also has a Hori RAP4 that he converted to a HitBox layout. He says it works amazingly when playing Tetris.

Never even though of my old fightsticks being outdated. Still will work with my PC no problem. Watching this makes me realize I have a lot of sticks. ;)

I just got my first entry level fightstick for just 18 dollars. A qamba drone. That was easy. The difficult part now it's learning everyday again

I appreciate the precautions on the various alternatives/before you buy/potential savings before you got into details on the arcade sticks. 👍
