anyone got this stick or played on it?
im intressted in this stick becuz of that com port for the mem or communicator.
and sinds its a xbox only stick i dont think i need to worry about the lag input from the converters.

I have it, the stick is a little loose, and the buttons a little mushy, but overall it's good.

Voice works fine with it.

To which stick does the feel resemble alot?
From what the site says at playasia it resembled alot to the agetec DC stick.

Yea it's similar to the agetec stick, but the hori's stick is definately looser. The buttons have this slight mushy feel when pressing down on them.

The buttons have this slight mushy feel when pressing down on them.does it have smooth and easy input like sanwa is known for? is the stick itself (buttons not included) fairly quiet? just want to know to compare it to a sanwa that i used before.

The stick is very clicky.

I've had this thing since it came out. The buttons DEFINTIELY get worn... but I still use it today... but i'm hittin the buttons super hard.

Phil: Why don't you switch buttons then? Or maybe it's tricky...

The stick is 8-way right?

[Phil McFly]

The buttons don't work on microswitches... I opened it up and it's like when you push the buttons, they make contact with the board which is why i have to hit them hard now. If anyone knows how to mod this, it would be greatly appreciated. No the stick is a square as with all hori sticks... 4 way.

ive only had this pad a week, havent really played with it that much but already one of the buttons really needs to be pressed hard to get the input :(

[gl0ry]

i think some of you are confused by 8 way and 4 way. 4 way = pacman which is only up down left and right... 8way= upleft,up,upright,right,downright,down,downleft,le ft. If you guys are talking about the actuators on the stick then that's called a square gate as opposed to a octagon gate.

Oops... i stand corrected... to sum it up it's a clicky square. But damn I need to SLAM on these buttons when I'm comboing the Genei Jin.

Alright, I'll probably go for a HRAP instead. That button-problem seems kind of shitty :)

Thanks for the answers :tup:
