I had one of these. Purchased thinking I was finally going to get into fighting games. Turns out I can't put enough time into them to enjoy them. The stick did help me out though. I was able to perform combos and CA in SFV much easier than with a pad. I did change out the buttons for Sanwa buttons, which imo were a noticeable upgrade.
O Duh.... I guess my reading skills have become shit haha. I read your comment as "I was able to perform combos (in) CA (and) SFV" and was thinking that CA was a fighting game that I haven't heard of.
My bad haha.
I own this stick and recommend it. As other have commented, I would replace out the buttons to Sanwa. I also swapped out the lever to a JLF Korean-style lever. Works well and swap was easy. As others have said, stick is mostly easy to work with but there is one caveat. On the right side of the stick is a control panel that has your PS3, L3, R3, etc buttons. This is connected to another PCB and might make modding out the main PCB be a bit more difficult. Also, the cable housing clips have been known to break and that can be very annoying to some people.
I actually own this arcade stick, for those who will purchase it, the RAP 4 got very bad buttons compare to the RAP 5, so please do me a favor and change them.
However the Hayabusa stick is kinda special but i really like it.
He is also compatible with PC.
Indeed you can't go wrong with this stick, this is the best stick you can get for your money, just change the buttons will add like $15 ; Have fun guys :3
Most premium tier fightsticks like these Horis are easy to service, especially swapping levers and buttons. Just make sure you get buttons that are the same size (30mm or 24mm) and mounting type (these are 'snap in' style, not 'screw in'). Re-wiring the new buttons should be painless since they use "QD" (Quick Disconnect) terminators that just pull off and slide on, no soldering required. Plenty of videos on youtube if you need help. Parts are available at sites like ParadiseArcadeShop, ArcadeShock, FocusAttack and possibly local stores that specialize in retro gaming, in all sorts of fashion colors and materials and feel.
Personally, I wouldn't say Kuro buttons are terrible at all. While Hori does make different buttons from bad to excellent depending on the price bracket of the stick, the Kuros are only a bit less sensitive than the newer Hayabusa ones (while arcade standard Sanwa buttons are in the middle), they are way better than sloppy buttons from budget tier sticks. If you've only had experience with buttons from American arcade machines in the past, any of these modern Japanese style buttons are going to seem ultra responsive in comparison.
If you plan on getting one, verify the specs on Hori's site. Massdrop's descriptions are full of errors and exaggerations.
FauxDeBauxIn general, both will work. Windows the operating system will detect Xbox controllers as an Xinput device, and Playstation controllers as a DirectInput device. However, some lazy programs/games/apps may only recognize one or the other. You can bridge the gap with utilities that serve as an emulation layer between them. Steam's controller API supports both by now.
For PC only, I'd recommend the Xbox stick, also because in-game prompts and rebind menus will most likely reference Xbox button labels ("X, Y, A, B" instead of PS style "square, triangle, X, O")
