By chance are you aware of the chthulu board and imp board for the Madcatz TE stick? Using those boards you can easily wire up your stick to work with multiple console. My TE stick (originally a 360 stick) is wired to handle PS3, PS2, GC, and Xbox1.

Example of how to use the board:

Wow. I need to get this done. Seems like a simple project to undertake. I'll probably only do it to one of my TEs though...

Yep, fun project, should take less than 2-3 days assuming you have extension cords at your disposal. I never thought of connecting an adapter to the PS2 end of my joystick, maybe I can get it working with my Saturn :D
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

my HRAP3 for ps3 works very well, other than the shitty stock buttons that stopped working a year later, and the stock joystick needs to be replaced soon

2600 - Wico Bat Handle

Arcade manufacturer of the day built these, real leaf switches inside.

PSX - Blaze Twin Shock (Also works in PS2)

A monster, very responsive. Performed an easy mod for Twin Stick Virtua On.

Well not really Arcade sticks but I like these below:

PSX - Dual Analog (Not Dual Shock)
Image
So much good stuff to say about this beauty!
The longer grips, digital support in the sticks as well as Flight Stick and Dual Shock analog.
I wrote a thread about the DUAL ANALOG, a rare wonder.


PS2 - Nyco iType 2
Image
Like the Dual Analog above, a controller for my big paws.
I hate analog buttons, so scraped a little carbon off the PCB to make buttons more responsive.

I bought a blaze the other day for $49. It's a crowd pleaser
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Straight up luck. I walked into Gameover in Austin, TX and it was there, waiting for me. I also picked up (in reference to your link to my thread) an innovation Dreamcast stick (new in box) and the Nuby Soul Calibur 2 stick (like new). Go miller high life and too much free time.

The only problem with asking what the best stick is for any system is that whole 'good luck finding it' issue.

For example, at the racketboy meet I was overjoyed to borrow Wipeout's Hori PS2 stick. It was amazing. I was so impressed I looked one up myself, just to see if I could afford it.

...I couldn't afford it. Getting a good stick is really a matter of luck/timing as much as it is money.

Congrats on that Blaze, a great price! Maybe invest in some adaptors?

For OP - Since PSX Arcade sticks are abundant, inexpensive adaptors, for Dreamcast, Gamecube and XBox.
