Arcade Joysticks
Arcade Joysticks
The Etokki stick would be an awesome drop. Not too stoked on the Razor Atrox after the malfunction at the EVO USF14 grand finals.

This going to drop soon? Or?
I have the Tankstick + trackball, It is ok and does its job. I do think now that I have leaned more about arcade controls I would build my own next time. I do like the layout.
Another thing i learned is that the default encoder on the tankstick has a 6 or 7 simultaneous button press limit, not a huge issue unless you are into two player fighting games.

I have a bit of experience building/modding sticks and I have to add that ANYTHING X-Arcade makes will be basement quality knock-off buttons/sticks. Also just look at the button layout on any of their sticks, its a straight line across which is terrible, ergonomically-speaking.
You will need to gut the entire stick and put a new encoder (you can buy Zero Delay encoders on ebay for like 10 bucks a piece) and new sticks/buttons if you want an arcade-quality stick.

My suggestion is either the Atrox (its really expensive but at least made to be modded easily) or anything with Sanwa/Seimitsu parts. Madcatz puts real parts in their sticks which is nice.

thanks for the info, iv actually been inspired to just build my own (:
i think the X-Arcade Dual Joystick and X-Arcade Tankstick + Trackball are the best choices from this list if you want option for 2 players, have the space for it, want to be able to replace buttons/joysticks easily and want compatibility with retro and current gen gaming consoles via adapters. A review of the X-Arcade Dualjoystick and Tankstic + Trackball are available on youtube, CGR did a good summary and the product video on x-arcade's website does a great job of displaying the features of these arcade fighting gamepad controllers.

I have the X-Arcade Tankstick on my MAME machine and it's awesome, they say it's unbreakable and I've put that to the test, my friends and I just button mash and rip the joystick all over the place madness style many times and it's a real beast, still looks and feels mint after nearly 2 years now :D
