Title: arcade stick!
Post by: bludkraZe on September 21, 2009, 07:17:38 PM
Hey, anyone know a good arcade stick that can connect to PC and is under.. say $150 or near!, Im really keen to play with one rather than keyboard/controller :) cheers.

Hori EX2 (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dd-49-en-70-26p2.html) is what you want, only $80 (not including shipping) and it's pretty good for the price.

Hori EX2 is fine. Its not the BEST, but its very good as far as entry-level sticks go.

This comment is rubbish. I could say with 99% certainty that it will last longer than that.

But Andy probably CAN hook you up with a better stick in a similar price range.

Hori stick for life.I guess i addicted to Japanese Stick ::) ::)

the case is nice I would say, but the parts are prolly as bad as the hori ex...
spending on $150 incl shipping for the SE without sanwa parts, might as well get a stick off me with full sanwa parts. I am sure I can get you a decent stick ps3/pc compatible in hte $150-200 range if your not too fussy about the outlook but more about the quality and life span of your stick.
But your choice, :)

Go with this imo. Actually, if thats the price range Andy, i might hit you up for one at some point. (Still need one for my PS3)

But if you cant be bothered going through someone and just want to buy a stick outright, i can still recommend the Hori. (Zosla is making it sound A LOT worse than it actually is.) The only issue with it is that the buttons can be a little stiff, and I prefer a larger playing surface.

I'm not making it sound its that bad lol, its the truth :P I've use that still many times during those training sessions and they just can't compare with sanwa :D
btw bill I got some really nice custom stick on the way, if you're looking for something really nice and unique and you can pay about $250 or so you go with something like this:

But It doesnt seem to be working, device says it is fine but no lights come on etc, any ideas.. did any of you need to get somthing/change some options to make your stick work on PC?!

PS3 version? Try running it through a USB hub. The PS3 version has some issues with some motherboard chipsets from what I understand.
