For anyone looking forward to SNK fighters on the Wii, you'll love the unmodded Hori stick. I used to own a Neo Geo AES home unit, and the ball tops, the buttons, and the "clickiness" felt very, very similar. |

Here is my modded stick that will be arriving soon, I went with the bubble blue stick, but I can change it later to solid white or bubble white, if those end up looking better. |

Depends on what type you want...
US style or JPN style? (Teardrop vs lollipop/bat vs ball)... If you're going for US style stick, I'd recc either a custom or the Street Fighter Anniversary Stick from Nuby Tech(RIP). Just modd em with Happ parts or get a Happ modded one. Another good choice is a MAS Systems arcade stick. For Japanese style. Go for a custom stick or you can try to track down a Fighting Stick EX... although they are pretty rare nowadays. They look like this:  |

This thread makes me very happy in my pants!
I've been looking for a good arcade stick option for my PC. A friend of mine suggested getting a good PS2 stick and just using a PS2 -> USB adaptor. What are your guys' recommendations? I absolutely refuse to play a single fighter with this gamepad anymore :( edit: I should probably note that I'm not terribly good at fighting games, but I really want to get better, hence my wanting to purchase an arcade stick, but that being sad, I'm not about to spend $100 on an X-Arcade stick just yet. |

As far as a PS2 arcade stick, I'm going to browse some of the links you posted, but if you happen to have any good recommendations off the top of your head I'm all ears. Just to reiterate, I'm willing to put down the cash for a great quality product, but the key is value here, I don't want to spend money on something I don't really need. Thanks!  |

Yea, TMO has WONDERFUL work... I really love that stealth black stick he did... Amazing stuff.
His transparent bottom on the sticks is a unique touch too... --- As far as X-Arcade goes. Yes, overpriced. And Shitty. More shitty because of the pricing. It isn't terrible. But I won't say it is good either. |

Custom. Pretty much everything was picked by me. Case, art, color scheme, parts, etc. It ran a bit high compared to most sticks, but I would say it's worth it just based on the aesthetic details. |
