Just dove into the world of Saturn imports, help!

I've been over often to look through the lists but don't believe I'm a member. I know I certainly haven't participated in the forums in anyway.

Here's a related question... I've been looking at some arcade sticks. Any brand that outshines the others? I see boxed sega branded virtua sticks all over for 20-25. I am assuming that both the abundance and price of the sticks speak volumes of their quality. But not a lot of other options pop up on eBay.

The HORI VF stick is good an affordable. It is a bit small for my taste and often only has 3 or 4 buttons (made primarily for shmups and puzzlers; not fighers).

The stick you refer to is junk - plastic on everything - the stick is terrible and inaccurate. The buttons are ok on NOS or gently used ones, but they don't take long before getting sloppy and unresponsive, requiring pushing down hard to get it to take - not good.

ASCII makes a nice stick, but for the price ($50 range) i'd spend a few more dollars and get the absolute best stick for Saturn which is the HSS-0130 ($60). Genuine arcade parts on everything, nice size and weight.
