Which was the best quality stick for the MegaDrive?

Post by Curlypaul »

Preferably with 6 buttons, and proper switches underneath the stick.

If there isn't a decent one, is there one that easy to switch the parts around to make it into one?

hmm this peaked my interest as i am a huge shmup fan and i absolutely cannot play shmups properly without a good arcade stick. does said stick have microswitches or is it just like the crappy us saturn stick (a dpad with a stick attached to it)?

I was getting ready to post something like this. But dose the U.S. Capcom stick also have microswitches, or only the Japan version?
