Which was the best quality stick for the MegaDrive?

Personally I like them for fighting games because I can feel and hear when a roll is complete and time the button presses to suit.

Thanks. That's actually the most logical and best explanation I've heard yet. Usually it's just "microswitches are better".

I'm guessing you've never used a mechanical keyboard before.

My guess is he means a keyboard with real switches for each key instead of the membrane garbage most use. Like the keyboards I have in my sale thread.

While all microswitches and microswitched arcade sticks are not created alike, the Capcom Power Fighter Sticks contain one of two arcade based sticks: the Sanwa JLW or the Seimitsu LS-40. Both sticks are used in arcade cabinets in Japan and contain high quality switches and components. They are built to take years of abuse. The switches give excellent feedback when engaged, through their audible "click" and from the tactile "snick".

Even the push buttons used mechanical switches that were based on those used in the arcade.

While the stick body may be a strange ergonomic design, it was hands down the highest quality and most reliable arcade stick you could purchase "off the shelf" during the 16 bit era.
