 The best arcade stick on the market! |

| This arcade stick is amazing. It is a must have if you play fighting games such as street fighter or tekken. The stick is very customizable, you can switch out the buttons or create a new template. It uses high quality sanwa parts which is a plus. I think the round 2 fight stick looks way better then the first TE fight stick, the all black and red looks awesome. Overall this stick is great and if you were looking for a stick, get a TE they are cheaper then before and perform great. |

Uses authentic Sanwa parts. (Along with Seimitsu, these parts are the best straight out of Japan.)
The control offered by this particular stick is phenomenal. Granted, I've only recently gotten serious about using one exclusively, I've been around the bloc a few times with these sort of products.
The Sanwa stick is very responsive and follows a square gate restrictor (stick moves around inside a square). When a gate is activated, you'll know as an audible *click* is heard. It may be a bit loud for casual home users, but it's part of the experience, in my opinion. Nothing to gripe about!
The buttons are also extremely sensitive. Contrary to the construction of the stick, these buttons DO NOT click! In a competitive sense, it's logical to reduce the amount of effort required to trigger the button, so no click. This is not to indicate that they are faulty, but fantastically responsive and dutiful in their purpose of translating your most complex inputs.
For stability, the several pounds that it does way are easily justified. To fanatics, input consistency is very important and they don't need their devices flying around because they're feather-light.
Other reviews may be bashing it, but the thought process in this product is quite legitimate, bringing together some revered names in the target audience and collaborating with them. Now, of course, it's a mass produced item, so there are going to be some business choices that not all of us would prefer. However, what you see is what you get and I've found a fantastic product in this.
Oh, it's also easily customizable with a bit of tinkering around. Even the face plate can be swapped out for one of a different design. |
Super responsive and totally awesome.

| My buddy has this stick and everyone in my department uses it every now and then. I have a Hori Fightstick EX2 and hate it now that I have used this thing. It is super responsive and the buttons are so easy to push. We mainly play Street Fighter and this thing is perfect for it. This thing is worth every penny. I should be getting my type S tourney stick any day now. It's supposed to be "better" than this one. I guess we'll see. |
The Round 2 is the way to go!

Okay people are concerned about the hype about the stick and the fact that its made by Madcatz.
The stick is the best I have ever used , i mean this is what the pros even use at EVO!
I would go with round 2 over the slims thou. They are built alot better and a better bang for you buck (: |
