Need advice on getting an arcade stick...

[racketboy]

if you guys are going to spend the kind of money it takes to get a hori, you should seriously consider something like this:

http://www.aiabstore.com/product.sc?cat ... oductId=16

$139 with Happ parts (which honestly, i like just as much as J-style parts, so long as the buttons are convex), and you can get sanwa buttons for $15 more, and a JLF for $14 more. it may take a month or two but you can even pick the most comfortable button layout for you (i like the curved close layout)

I just don't like the design -- I'm picky like that.
The Hori sticks just look much sweeter.

I picked up a PS3 Hori Fighting Stick from a pawn shop for $8 last year, and finally got a working driver for it here
