Yes, the title should explain. Does anyone have experience with this product? I need a better alternative for fighting games and this seems the dream solution.

I bought one a few months back when I found it for a good price, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet. Reviews all said that it works fine. The only negative points I could find about it, IIRC, was that the VMU socket can be flaky. Which isn't surprising. The VMU in a DC controller has the socket the it slides into. On the Total Control 3, it's just the pins. I picture a VMU hanging there being kinda fragile.

I love mine, works absolutely flawlessly. Until I sat on it on the couch with the VMU in it and now the VMU slot is broken.

as long as you don't sit on it it should work great

Great! Thanks for the info, by chance does anyone know if the Saturn lightgun can be used with it?

I have one as well. It worked great for a long time, however, somehow the controller port got damaged and now it doesn't work. Bummer too because it's a nice device. I've since upgraded to ASCII DC FightPads so I don't really have a need for it but I'd still recommend it. Just be careful with it. I can't say if it works with Saturn light guns as I never tested that.

Same here, I have Saturn lightguns but no DC lightgun games.
edit: OH! I just remembered that Virtua Cop 2 is on the Sega Smash Pack, so I can test this out when I get the chance!

I used to have a total control 5, which also did playstation as well as saturn.
