Recommend me an arcade stick (For PC)

[Erik_Twice]

A friend of mine is looking for a stick to play Tetris/Fighters on along some random arcade games like shumps and the like. Nothing too fancy, we are working on a budget here (30€ give or take).

Any recommendations? Can Xbox sticks be used on the PC without any set-up?

Wired 360 sticks should work fine. PS3 sticks may as well, but tend to have more issues - not all USB chipsets seem to like them.

I use my ps3 Madcatz TE Round 2 stick for MAME and it works flawlessly!

use a 360 or ps3 with the right drivers.

I use a PS3 Virtua Stick High Grade on my PC and no drivers needed nor are there any problems. Just plug n play. It's a great stick if you can find one at a good price.
