Best playstation 4 gamepads & controllers according to redditors

You can get it on Amazon. The official color is called "Crystal".

Its one of the four new colors they announced last September, along with some faceplates for the console.

Desktop Link for those going crazy trying to interpret mobile layout

Or just buy a controller for $45 from Amazon

If you're going to jerk about consoles, at least get your fucking information right.


Consoles are NOT $400 anymore. At most, $350 for a new one. PS4 $349 [Xbox One S $299](

5 games will cost $300 if you don't have GCU or Amazon Prime and buy new releases, shit. I could pre-order 5 games now on Amazon and it'll be less than $250.


What the fuck kind of accessories are you buying that'll equal $100 - 200? I bought a fucking stand and another controller and a usb extension cable. Under $100. Double digits motherfucker.



Yep. Uh huh. 1 year is totally $150.

Uhhhhhhhh. The mental gymnastics you guys go through here is fucking insane.

THIS IS AWESOME!

I personally use a PS4 controller and LOVE it! They are right AT your 50 dollar limit though :-/

Love to see the spreading of cheer!

here is a link if interested: controller

i recommend the street fighter official guide book comes with a little collectible and has frame data to get you started and explains everything you will need to know without confusing you but wont go too deep and gives some helpful tips. you can buy it from amazon or your local gamestop or game distributor. the free alternative being an app called V frames that will provide you with frame data, combo videos and more.

also if you are just getting into street fighter just remember a stick will not make you good nor is it a nessasity. it a controller preference. its something you need to get used to and may complicate the early stages of learning and control at the beginning.IMO i wouldn't buy an arcade stick right off the bat, get to know the game a little better. but IF you are adamant on getting a stick i personally recommend the Hori Mini 4 as a good entry level stick and its faily cheap around $40 US i also recommend you see this Video on how to operate an arcade stick before and after you make your decision or not to purchase one. but if you are going to toss big bucks right now some good options are the Hori Rap4 around $150 US , the mad catz TE2+ around $230 US and the Mad catz TES around $200. if you are wanting to buy any of those i recommend you wait till EVO starts because they will be having discounts and promo codes for sticks.

On the sub reddit here we have something called geifs Gym its great for digesting parts of the games deep competitive underbelly in a way we all can understand. i dont have a link to the archive but they do appear every couple of days so stay posted with that.

Gootecks also has a good video for beginners

Honestly when I need a new controller I buy the name brand. I've bought a few off brand controllers and they always die way faster (both in battery life and longevity of the controller) and have issues with sticky buttons, small sticks, etc.

Looking on amazon they don't have any purple name brand, but they do have 3rd party vinyl skins you can buy.

Hope this helps!

1. Yes there is a ps4 controller in the works made by Ben Heck and pre existing ones for other platforms. http://www.benheck.com/pausing-single-handed-controller-sales/.
   
   
2. If you have a prosthetic that you feel confident to use with a joystick you can get a joystick https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014KXMEW4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1469837675&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=playstation+4+joystick&dpPl=1&dpID=41f8NpX1B4L&ref=plSrch&dpPl=1&dpID=41f8NpX1B4L&ref=plSrch.

3. You can also get a ambidextrous mouse type ps4 controller here http://www.oneswitch.org.uk/1/AGS/AGS-onehand/one-hand-controller.htm. These are $300-400 though but can be used on all platforms from ps2 to ps4, xbox to xbox one, and PC.
   
   
4. For PC the Razer tartarus has good reviews for people needing one handed gaming on pc as it functions like a traditional mouse with the second "joystick" placed at the thumb.

It's a ps4 wireless controller (red) you can usually find on amazon for a pretty decent price. DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 - Magma Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MD19OI2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uVZjDb7W27P9A

You can get him this and it should be what he wants!

HORI RAP4 is going for $150 on Amazon these days, and is compatible with PC and PS4.

Link to the Amazon store.

This is the stick I own. I've got 300 hours into mine and it's still going strong. My only complaint is that it is kind of light-weight so it slides in my lap sometimes, and the door housing the power cord is only held on with two small plastic nubs that seem to break very easily. A rubber band keeps the cord together just fine for me now though.

EDIT : I also suggest trying the program ce360
as that may work to read the input from your already purchased fightstick? I suppose if your PC doesn't recognize the stick at all then it won't help.

I absolutely adore my Hori Fighting Commander 4. Incredible pad. Lots of nifty features, PS4/PS3 compatible as well as PC, works out of the box, nice dpad, good buttons, all around solid and priced rather fairly.

That crystal one though!

Then look elsewhere. This stick is a modified real arcade pro which retails for $150. I personally have the same stick for my PS4 and it's worth it IMO. My only complaint are the buttons which you can easily swap out for Sanwa anyway.

This is a pretty good price for an arcade stick all things considered. Cheaper sticks tend to be pretty terrible quality.

Hori Fight Commander has the best Dpad I ever used.

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

Seriously, the parent of this post chain was complaining about people being pathetic about lying and you are literally doing the exact same thing

PS4 controllers are not $70.

On a similar note, I recently purchased a DualShock 4 PlayStation controller just for gaming on my Mac. No driver needed; Steam and lots of other games natively support it. It pairs via Bluetooth by pressing the PS and Share buttons for a few seconds. You can also use it wired via USB. I would highly recommend it.

Qanba Drone if you're on PS4 and do not care about artwork swapping. Venom Arcade Stick if you're on PS4 and want artwork swapping. Mayflash F300 if you're on Xbox or Switch and do not care about artwork swapping. Mayflash F500 if you're on Xbox or Switch and want artwork swapping. Qanba Carbon if you're PC-only and care about artwork swapping.

All of these sticks can be easily modified with higher quality levers or buttons at a later date. Personally, I went with the Venom Arcade Stick, upgraded it with Sanwa parts, used it for a few years and then switched to a full custom.

Heres my suggestion

"Beginner" myself, learning on this

Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai

edit: oops, missed the note about xbox1 (I guess this would be the equivalent?)

Sure but then your total cost would be around 100-110gbp when a proper stick costs the same or less:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536613381&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+pro

I use the Pro N and it's great.

The xbox analog stick is possibly one of the worst input methods for direction out of all the common options. Even the awful 360 d-pad is better. I think you'll find improvement using anything else. If you want to keep the xbox controller, do yourself a favor and learn to use the dpad on it.

If you want a to get a better controller, for pad get the Hori Fighting Commander. If you want a stick, most people recommend the HRap4 Kai.

[Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai] (http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1449167857&sr=1-1&keywords=Hori+RAP+4+kai) and the [Silent] (http://www.amazon.com/Correspondence-Arcade-Controller-Pro-v5-Silent-PlayStation/dp/B00U6V44XC/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1449167936&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=Hori+RAP+silent)

I would recommend the tekken 7 rap4, same parts but different layout (arguably more ergonomic) and more wrist space AND has headphone plug support.

Qanba Obsidian

• Currently on sale on their main website.
  
  HORI Fighting Edge
  
  Razer Panthera Evo
  
  Hori Rap 4 Kai
  
  The 'Hori Rap 4 Kai' used to be the most popular until the 'Qanba Obsidian' came along. From what I've seen, the Qanba Obsidian is the most popular stick right now. The 'Razer Panthera Evo' is an updated version of the 'Razer Panthera' and it's a solid stick from what I've read.
  
  Personally, I'm looking to get the 'Hori Fighting Edge' next because the button layout got me curious and the aluminum panel seems really nice.
  
  
  
  I have the Qanba Obsidian and Hori Rap 4 Kai so I can speak a little about those.
  
  >Qanba Obsidian
  
  Quite big in size and heavy. Definitely sturdy. Lots of room to rest your arms on. Custom art work replacement is easy. Same goes for replacing the buttons. The miscellaneous buttons up top are a little too small and fat fingering a button happens sometimes.
  
  >Hori Rap 4 Kai
  
  The size and weight lean towards average. It'll rest on your lap nicely and not feel overbearing. Custom art work replacement requires a little work because the default artwork has strong adhesive binding it to the steel plate inside. Replacing buttons is no problem. Miscellaneous buttons are on the right side underneath the right wing. You can also rebind buttons.

I ordered my numbers wrong. The DS4 is 47, UC4 is 54.

https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Wave-4/dp/B00KVP780Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1466129648&sr=8-4&keywords=ds4

Both of them are rather poor choices. The Mini even more than the Alpha (its buttons have absolutely no resemblance to actual arcade-buttons they just feel like over-sized controller buttons and the stick is also not good). If you want an arcade stick there is usually not much else to do than to bite the bullet and shell out some cash up front. I don't mean going for something ultra high-tier like the T.E.2+, the VLX Kuro or similar, but you'll have to invest at least 100 USD into something halfway decent.
I can recommend the "HORI R.A.P. V"-Line especially since the new Hayabusa buttons feel a lot closer to SANWAs than the old Kuro's did.
Other than that there's the Eightarc/Qanba Drone if you live in the US and are on PS4, or the Eightarc/Qanba Carbon if you're on PC (seems to be a rerelease of the Q1).
If you are in the EU there's the Venom Arcade Stick which is a very affordable and easily customizable stick (both buttons, stick and artwork are easy to replace).
All of those three are good choices for a player new to fight-sticks, but after some time you probably will want to replace the stick-unit and buttons with high-quality SANWA/Seimitsu/HORI parts at this point you probably will have spend the same amount of money on the initial stick+parts you would spend on one of the higher-tier sticks (8x2.50 USD for buttons + 20-25 USD for stick-unit will bump up the price of the Drone to roughly 135 USD and the Venom to 98 GBP) so you might as well go for a good one from the get go.

I got this from a recommendation when I asked reddit, it's a great stick. I haven't had a single issue with it; it's worked perfectly.

Dude save a bit extra and buy this
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

I've had this stick for nearly a year now and not a single issue with it. I've clocked 1,300 hours in Tekken with this thing so it's not like it was seldom use. I've been pounding it every single day.

If you go for a cheaper stick you are going to get either really bad build quality or really bad parts in the stick or both.

• Hori FC
  
• Hori FC4 Pro
  
• Hori FPS Plus
  
• Brook Converter (for 360/Xbone pad)

The PS4 controller works just fine, too! Sticks/Pads/regular controllers all work fine with SFV, it really comes down to a matter of comfort, preference, and quality, the only thing that might be tricky is getting used to the button layouts and all. I've heard nothing but great things about the HORI Fighting Commander 4 if you'd prefer having all your attacks (light/medium/heavy each for kick and punch) on the face and a more defined D-Pad. :)

Amazon has them for $51ish right now. DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 - Jet Black by Sony Computer Entertainment http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BGA9X9W/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_PbIhub1K6MAXR

I'm just going to leave this here.

Amazon

GameStop

Shipping costs on a flat rate box are actually $17.90 for the large flat rate box.

Let's go with the $51.90 control, and great! We have free shipping! So that's $51.90(Controller) + $17.90(Shipping) + $290.00 (PS4) = $359.80

Now, let's compare with the market, shall we? This thread has a white PS4, with Destiny, The Last of Us remastered, and a controller for $350. See where the price drop to $250 would help you?

I've always been a fan of blue, but as I've gotten older, the shade I prefer has changed.

A great comparison is the PS4 controller I was considering and the one I bought.

I was considering the blue controller but saw the gray blue controller and liked it more, which also lines up more with how my preference has changed over the years.

I tend to prefer more subdued blues than the brighter blues I preferred when I was younger.

Try this:

Only £65, works with PS3/PS4/PC and is easily moddable. I bought one to test whether or not I could get used to a stick and ended up dropping in some Sanwa parts later once I'd adapted (which was super-easy to do).

Have a read of the reviews, people really seem to like them.

Amazon.co.uk should be right for you

My recommendation: Venom fightstick with initial low budget, later upgraded with Sanwa parts from Arcadeworlduk

The way I see it, it's all preference but if you want to buy a stick you should just do it (but don't feel pressured to do it). It's like the FPS scene where everyone asks what sensitivity the pros use. 9 out of 10 times they will say they use 800 mouse dpi with a low in game sensitivity. Sure there are crazy high sens. twitch pro players, but there is a reasoning behind getting used to lower sensitivity vs using high sensitivity. The lower the sensitivity, the more you move your arm and the more accurate you can be, and as long as you can 180 with one arm motion the lower the better.

I'm actually using the same logic in buying a stick. I HATE the d-pad (literally can't do the DP motion on it). I use the joy stick and while it works fine I'm not satisfied with my accuracy when it comes to the stricter inputs required for some combos. I want to try out something with higher kinetic motion so that, once I get used to it, there is less room to mess up (which sounds backwards actually). Also fight sticks are badass and I can afford one so why not.

I'm looking at these 2 sticks atm, Hori Real Arcade Pro and Mad Catz TE2. I kind of like the Hori since it's cheaper but it's not a big deal for me to go for the Mad Catz TE2 if it has something that over the Hori that I'm not seeing. Thoughts? Also, are there any other options out there I may be missing for a mid/high-end stick?

Hori RAP4

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

There are lots of companies still making quality sticks. If you use the term 'fightstick' you'll have better luck searching. Hori, Madcatz, and Qanba all have good sticks out there right now.

Here's an example of a quality stick.

Ah ok. Well if PC and ps4/ps3 are going to be mainly where you are going to be playing on then i would go for the Hrap 4 kai or Hrap V Hayabusa since they work ps3/ps4 and pc(xinput).

I have the qanba q1 that i swapped out with sanwa parts myself but it is the xbox 360 version and i use it for games/emulators on pc and it works with no issues.

I dont think any stick manufacturers will be making any ps4/ps3/360/xbox 1 compatible sticks anytime soon since fighting games arent getting many releases on xbox one.

Arcade stick or pad is a preference. There's really no right answer. Personally, I love stick. I picked one up soon after I got into fighting games, because I loved the idea of them and I knew that I would love using one, and I haven't looked back since.

If you are curious about arcade sticks, just keep in mind that they take a few months to get used to. Some people pick it up faster than others, but for me it was a good month before I became accustom to it and then a handful more before it felt truly natural.

As for third-party pad alternatives, I know that Hori ( Fighting Commander 4 & Fighting Commander ) and MadCatz ( FightPad PRO ) both make controllers geared towards fighting games. Personally, that FightPad PRO looks bizarre to me.

I've never played with a PS3 or PS4 pad, but I'd recommend looking into the Hori Fighting Commander 4 as a fantastic value for $30 if you're only looking for a fighting game controller and don't need the analog sticks for other games. Setting it up to work on PC is very easy with x360ce.

Looks horribly uncomfortable to me, and that d-pad looks like it'll only be good for zangief players. But maybe it'll turn out ok, we won't know for sure until it comes out in a few months.

If you want one for Christmas, this is your best (only?) bet: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1450285498&sr=1-2&keywords=hori+ps4+pad

Find one of these.

I particularly like the 4 over the newer version. I hold the controller with my left hand normally, but rest my right hand on my leg and use the face buttons like a stick. Best of all worlds, imo.

HORI Fighting Commander 4

Saw this on amazon price drop. IDK if it's good, but it's the lowest price in amazon's history at $30. If you are a pad player looking for something.

It's this - https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Stick-Mini-PlayStation-4/dp/B014KXMEW4 - I use this for MAME and for many of my fighting games on my desktop and gaming laptop.

New version is on amazon now

Claw user here. Can confirm it's index+middle finger, and definitely not thumb. Also, I use a HFC, and it's damn comfortable.

This is the go to people have been suggestiing in terms of quality for price.

before switching to my TES+, i used to have the Hori mini 4.
A good stick for the price imo (its 10 $ cheaper than the madcatz stick).

If you’re decent with pad then stick with it, switching to stick won’t necessarily make you better. However, maybe check out the Hori Mini? Very small stick and maybe what you’re looking for, but it’s not too high quality and might not last forever. Otherwise you could find someone to custom make a stick with 24mm buttons.

Have you looked at Hori Fighting Stick Mini? Besides custom work, it seems like one of the smallest available models that don't force you to carry around a dedicated backpack or case, if you're including stuff like books and notebooks.

Hori Fighting Stick Mini for PS3, PS4, and PC

Hori Fighting Stick Mini for Nintendo Switch and PC

Doesn't look like they have a model for Xbox systems, unfortunately, unless I'm completely missing something.

Fightstick

PCB

Joystick

Button plunger

Button base

Dustwasher

Shaft

Battop

LED's

Driver

Breakout board

I think I spent around $600 on it, though half of that was the fightstick itself. I'm not finished however, there are a few more things I want to add:

1. Custom panel, preferably one with a Sega 8 button layout, and some custom artwork, preferable of Super Sentai (I was thinking of doing it with Kyuranger and making the joystick a balltop of one of the Kyutama but I like battops more)
   
   
2. A gold plunger for the 24mm button
   
   
3. A hollow sanwa clear battop for an LED that will diffuse the light properly
   
   
4. A different cable, preferably a braided or flat cable
   
   
   What do you guys think? This is my first major mod on a fightstick, I've never changed a PCB before though I didn't have to do any soldering so it wasn't really that hard

You can buy them on Amazon too

Awesome thanks for all the responds guys!
im probably going to try it on PC and see how it plays maybe end up getting it for both.
looking into getting that new Tekken 7 Hori fightstick. i really like the black one thats meant for PS4 but since dont have a PS4 im kinda stuck getting the white one unless i only play on PC or just get a brooks super converter. i also noticed that the PS4 tekken fightstick has a few more features like Turbo that the xbox one version does not.

take a look if your dare...very tempting..lol

Still cheaper on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Magma-4/dp/B01MD19OI2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=HCWD3V15NNCN&keywords=ps4+controller&qid=1559154970&s=gateway&sprefix=PS4+c%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-5

Are you a golem? Just kidding you should try this controller https://www.amazon.de/Revolution-Pro-Playstation-Controller-PS4/dp/B01NBKW254 make sure you read some reviews there is also ps4 controllers from hori, razor etc... have fun

It states that. But I ordered it anyway and chose the "AmazonGlobal Priority" shipping. I kept waiting for it to be canceled before it shipped but I received it yesterday.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NBKW254/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

OK, sounds good! I'll give it a shot. Just ordered from Amazon. Thanks man! A quick heads-up for anyone else who's interested because there's seems to be a little confusion. There are two models: this one: $48 (which says: [OLD MODEL] in the product name) & this one: $46. I got the latest model which, because of a discounting, is actually cheaper! lol

Expensive? I can get a keyboard and mouse for like 10$. Easy. And it can be wireless to. Keyboard and mouse is cheaper than a controller. If it wasn't intended for them to allow keyboard/mouse, why put the PS/2 drivers? Also, everyone has a computer so they all probably have a keyboard and mouse. Your points are not that convincing and stating that a kb+m combo is expensive kinda negates all credibility.

KB+M: 15$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B7GV802/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1469678708&sr=8-4&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=keyboard+and+mouse

Controller: 50$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BGA9X9W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469678765&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=ps4+controller

That being said, you also lumped in actual modifications in there. There is a difference between plugging in a peripheral and actually modifying the code/peripheral to do things the manufacturer didn't intend for it to do. Keyboard and mouse is used on a computer and aimbots are still against rules on computer games so I don't see how an aimbot is relevant to an input peripheral. At all.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BGA9X9W/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p63_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0JKBC4VQQGHCX4KYKZQ4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846

Here is the mod kit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7UHG8W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just followed instructions online about how to replace thumbsticks. Opening the controller was a little scary and I thought I broke it like 3 times just because the parts need to be pulled at and popped out, but in the end, everything is working 100% and is officially the coolest and best feeling controller I have ever owned

I have a couple of friends that play a lot of fighting games. I can ask them.

Edit: They only recommended a stick and it was this one

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

I also got this and fitted a full Sanwa mod for an extra £40. There are plenty of guides and YouTube videos etc to help you out.

Works out £80-£100 cheaper than a TE. Personally I'm very happy with it.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Venom-Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button/dp/B00NHDSINS

This is a decent budget stick if you want to buy new. It's also worth checking eBay for 2nd hands ones though.

Officially Licensed Playstation Arcade Stick (PS4/PS3) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_ORMMwbZB13STN

Granted it's very basic but it's a great stick to start with that will last you a long time till you move onto something else.

You can just purchase a cheaper stick and mod it in the future. The Mayflash Stick is $40 and can be modded with Sanwa parts. The Venom Stick can be had for like $70 if you can find it and actually can be modded to be VERY good looking and with all the good parts. As mentioned in the other replies, the Hori sticks are constantly on sale as well both at stores and locally I'm sure. I always see them on Kijiji.

Yet ANOTHER alternative is a converter. The Brooke PS3 to PS4 Converter is restocked very frequently. Focus attack should be getting them soon as their stocks are likely just depleted from their holiday sale. This thing costs you $35 bucks and should have no lag issues from everything written about them on Shoryuken.

You can even buy a new PCB and dual mod your stick to work on whatever you want. Lots of solutions for you. You dont need to spend $200, especially if you already have a stick.

Amazon has this up

Damn good, especially for the price. If you REALLY want Sanwa or Seimitsu parts (though Hori's own aren't terrible by any means) it's a 5 minute swap job.

It does work on PC as well as PS3/4.

The only thing it's missing, in fact, is a headphone port, but that's not massive.

The Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai was £80 on Amazon recently and is currently £90.

Probably a Hori RAP 4 Kai
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

Buy this for $150 and save the other $150 for beer and things that matter

Do not buy a Mad Catz stick, they are overpriced. Yes they are good sticks but you could get a Hori and Qanba that is just as good for half the price. I would personaly recommend this one or that one. They both work on PC.

One thing about the RAP4 is the stick only sits about an inch above the platform, so there's not a ton of room for your fingers if your hands are really big. I have pretty big hands and its something I had to get used to.

The stick in question.

This one is pretty widely recommended.. not sure if it's in your price range.

This Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai keeps dropping in price on Amazon. It did it the other day and made it down to like 113 bucks or something, so keep your eye on it for a bit. I think it is pretty well regarded as a good stick, others may have more input than me.

This is the one I have it comes with a 4 way restriction plate, and I am modding it to an 8-gate tonight. That is the only thing I really wanted to change. Hori did a great job over all. I might eventually change it to Sanwa, but for now it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PlayStation/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480646162&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+rap+v this is probably best u can get with 150

I use this one : the Hori FC4 Pro

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

I've been using it for almost 2 years now, and it is just beginning to show some signs of fatigue. So I bought another one. I just love this pad

I must note that I play Gief, both in SF5 and SF4 and that I am quite a butter churner (I killed a brand new Hori wireless Tekken5 stick in 2 days, a PDP MKX fightpad in a month, a madcatz SfxT in 2 weeks) :p

I never had problems with the rotating d-pad, nor the sensitivity switch (though I locked both as I wanted them day1, and never unlocked them since, so that may be why).

What I really like about this pad is the sensitivity setting and the 6 + 4 buttons. Of course you can only map 8 buttons in game, but then I have my 6 face buttons for LP/MP/HP and LK/MK/HK, on the left triggers I have PPP (lariat) and KKK (V-reversal) and on the right triggers HP and HK that I use only to activate Vtrigger. This makes it much easier to do things like c.LP os V-Trigger

Fight Commander 4. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498108887&sr=8-2&keywords=fight+commander+4

You could always get a fightpad as a cheaper option but honestly practice trumps all.

No this controller is pretty bad and horribly designed, I promise you will hate it. Get one of the Hori Fighting Commanders, either the one with the rotating dpad or the one without if you aren't interested in that.

I have the one without the rotating dpad and its made my inputs so clean, I can definitely vouch for it.

Ill link them both if you wanna check them out. You may be able to find them cheaper on other sites but I prefer to just use amazon.

Hori Fighting Commander

Hori Fighting Commander 4 (Rotating Dpad)

Shipping is pretty much free for most a lot of online retailers, and amazon offers free one-day delivery for $47 right now. With tax, it'll be right around $50~$51. Do you do 1 day shipping? link

And like I said, it's offered for $40 pretty much on a monthly basis. I bought mine for $40 free shipping no tax.

edit: strikethrough above

what? the black controller is $59.99 in the usa and $65 after tax.

Adeno's The Innocent Toys Show Presents:

DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for the PS4

Product Description:

COME one, COME all, yes that's right, COME over here fast! Today we are giving the gamer deep inside you the chance to play the latest games in the most thrilling ways!

What I am holding here in my hand is my BIG, BLACK STOCK of a controller called a DualShock 4. Why should you get excited for a video game controller? It's BIG, it's BLACK, and it VIBRATES. Of course, you also have the choice of experiencing your thrills from a WHITE controller. Who cares about the color, as long as the RIDE is heart racing right?

The DualShock 4 is made of quality fine material, but don't let that stop you from playing as ROUGH as you want! Touch it and feel just how HARD it is. It's so hard it could crack open any oyster and liberate so many pearls that you could receive a pearl necklace eventually!

How you play a game can definitely lead this big bad brute into behaving the way you want to. Play a game in a calm manner and this baby will vibrate in tune to your rhythm. However, play an extremely exciting and rough game like Grand Theft Auto and this devil will shower your entire body with sweet vibrations!

Everything about the DualShock 4's been upgraded from the previous version in the name of efficiency and excitement!

Use your hand to trace the shape of this big black beauty and you'll definitely feel how sturdy it is. Grasp it in your hand and feel the pulsating combination of its texture and hardness. It is also very sensitive and precise, it can react and give you exactly how much tingle you want, from a simple and demure humming vibration to the more gasp inducing, body shaking, explosive rough vibration! Pushing the correct buttons will get you the experience that you want!

This impressive tool of excitement has also improved on its charge efficiency. Not only is it harder, it also lasts longer, up to 8 hours! You can play with it rough for the entire night and it'll keep on vibrating without any discharge at all! You're more likely to faint first due to the stress of being shook all night than this lovely shocker giving in too early! But what if it's spent all of its energy? Don't worry! Simply let it rest for 2 hours and it'll be ready to give you another 8 hour round of pure ecstasy!

Not only does this thing know how to regulate the flow of its vibrations, it can also allow you to go into "private listening" mode, if you're worried that your neighbors might call the cops on you due to your screams of delight! This dude knows when to keep quiet and when to be loud! Simply insert a 3.5mm audio line into this controller's little hole and you can enjoy all the moans and screams from your game directly from your headphones! Nothing is better than hearing the whispers and excitement directly delivered to your ears!

Are you the adventurous type who wants to SHARE? Fear not, because this bad boy is open for sharing! Simply press the correct buttons and you'll be able to take videos or snapshots of your "sessions" together and show it to interested parties who might decide to join in on your fun! You'll have a room full of big black and white vibrating handles of fun!

Have you COME to the conclusion yet of getting yourself a DualShock 4?

Your pleasure, is my pleasure! ;)

>I'd have thought a decent gaming machine would cost vastly more than a console and I'd have to buy a

Not true. This guy's proves it = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

>I'd have to buy a desk and shit to shove the monitor and keyboard and all that bollocks on

Well, if you want to sit on your couch and just skip using a keyboard you can do that...



Also how fucking big do you think a PC has to be? Like.. Seriously how big? Because you are so full off yourself. Also, you still need to buy a controller for your console (I know one comes with) but you can literally buy a keyboard and mouse for 5$

Last time I checked you still need to buy a TV to use it for your console. So why are you telling me that a PC needs a monitor but a console doesnt need a TV?


Here let's do some comparisons.

400$ PS4. http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/playstation-4-system/109942

14.99$ TV unit (I took the absolute cheapest one...) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50243299/

Sofa or sitting on the floor? Alright here you go. A chair 29.99$ (still, cheapest one I could find) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10289128/

You want some games? Hm, let's take some games that are new and are on both PC and PS4. Let's say 4 games.

Dying Light 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/dying-light/111372

GTA 5 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/grand-theft-auto-v/115462

Evolve 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/evolve/113546

Far Cry 4 59.99$ http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/far-cry-4/115109

Do you want to play with a buddy? Another controller. 53.33$

http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B00BGA9X9W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420739574&sr=8-1&keywords=playstation+4+controller

And lastly. A TV that is in 1080p 156.59$ (the cheapest one I could find that was NEW. NO Used ones or refurbished!) http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new



Total price 894.86$

Also, do you want to play online? 1 month is 9.99$, 3months is 17.99$ and 12months is 49.99$


Now, let's do our 350$ PC. So PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

Do you want to use it on a TV unit or on a desk? You choose. (you could technically do this on the console too but a desk is more expensive.) Let's go with desk for your convinience so 79.99$

Same here, couch or a chair? I'll go with a chair 19.99$ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79046260/

And now on games.

So, since Dying Light hasnt released the price for the american price I'll pick the european price and change it to the american currency (This will make it more expensive than usually) EU price: 49.99€ converted to dollars 59.07$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/239140/

Since steam has not given out a price of GTA V on steam I'll pick it from G2play.net (it will most likely be sold for 49.99$) but here you go. 55.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/3077/grand-theft-auto-v-steam-key/

LoL, I am actually kind of happy right now, it's not that usual that europeans get the game cheaper than americans do but we do on Evolve, anyway. Here you go 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Far Cry 4 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Do you want to play with a friend? A controller. I couldnt be bothered looking for a cheaper one. Here you go 9.99$ http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Twelve-Button-Game-Controller-USB-GAMEPAD/dp/B00AEWTSWU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1420741023&sr=8-5&keywords=pc+controller

And lastly, A TV/Monitor 156.59$ http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Total: 851,25$

Now, yes. It is very close but my argument will always stand, it will be cheaper on steam. With steam sales, humble bundles (https://www.humblebundle.com/ seriously it's 4 games for 1$... Altho I never pay below average because I am not a scumbag, but still) and websites like G2play.net you will ALWAYS find games that are cheaper, for an example here you go with Far Cry 4 for 34.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/11641/far-cry-4-uplay-key/

They're not. I don't know where this ad if from but controllers are $50-$60

http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B00BGA9X9W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1452020986&sr=1-1&keywords=ps4+controller

Amazon. right here

Almost all of them are discounted to $50 instead of $60 including the 20th anniversary one

You don't.

$60

Thank you! Is this what you bought or did you look elsewhere for a PC version?

Here is the link from amazon

I have silicone covers, and they work great...but I am heavily considering getting these replacements.

Here's my setup

Yes, yes, I know, I have a CRT instead of a flat screen TV. If you'd also notice, I play more old consoles than new and CRT is superior to flat screen for them (and much cheaper). Ideally I'll be upgrading to a small (~20") Sony Trinitron. The 32" ones are free and widely available but they're sooooo big and heavy.

Just got a Wii motion sensor bar so I can play light gun games on my PC and use the WiiMote as a remote control. Also thinking about racing games with the steering wheel attachment. Monitors are from Craigslist ($35 and $10 respectively). CRT was a gift from a friend. It's dying though (discoloration). Pre-amp and speakers were also gifts from friends. PC and consoles I bought myself.

The Glacier White DS4 is actually cheaper than the standard black controller right now on Amazon.

It would be nice to have the 20th Anniversary version, but releasing it publicly and separately would diminish the entire concept of what they were trying to do with the anniversary edition in the first place.

Appears to still be going on. $50 is still high. Need to decide if I like her enough to buy her one for $50...

Thanks for the heads up.

If he's playing a combination of both new games and older games, via emulators, I would strongly recommend the Dualshock 4 along with the adapter to get it working on PC

Amazon US gave me an update saying I'd get mine next Tuesday. Link. Now where's that Magma Red?

Depends on how custom you want it to be, if you really want to try your hands on stick and want an easily modable one, get a venom

Its like 70 bucks and you can change almost everyting from it.

You're going to be upset when you get it and it's the size of a Lunchable snack pack and your hands barley sit on the case and it slides around from being so light.

Those 2 sticks parts will end up messing up as quick as a few weeks and you'll be spending more money replacing them than spending few extra bucks to get a nice size stick with quality parts.

You'll be stuck with good parts after you spend $60 to replace them in a tiny stick case.

You'll see how awful it is, then you will go to youtube and look at madcatz tournament edition 2 sticks and see how big they are on peoples laps and wish you bought a standard size stick.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

read reviews at the bottom, he had to replace his joystick and buttons on it.

This is the only sub-100 bucks stick I played with that didnt suck:

And building your own stick is barely cheaper if you are not living in the US cause of all that shipping if you want quality parts.

If you live in Europe get the PS4 Venom arcade stick. It's very moddable and works natively with the PS4. You wont have to pay the inflated prices either because it's made for Europe and not the USA-

https://www.amazon.es/Venom-Arcade-Stick-PS4-PS3/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=VMHWVHV7OM1F&keywords=venom+arcade+stick&qid=1573051944&sprefix=venom+arc%2Caps%2C231&sr=8-3

I'm American and I have one of these and I love it. It's very easy to swap the buttons and joystick to a different brand. I have Sanwas in mine, and you can upgrade it similarly while staying close to $100 for overall cost.

well then theres the Venom arcade-stick. dunno about availability in US, but hes pretty popular in europe. a friend of mine has one and hes more than happy with it.

i'd probably save 50$ more though and go for a HRAP4 if i were you.

the qanba-sticks are popular, too

Amazon

Arcade world uk sell decent sticks and parts, generally Qanba are a pretty good way to go. There's a good deal on the Q4 which is a a little over budget but honestly its not a bad deal for a new stick.

Here's a Qanba if you're only looking to use it only on pc Be careful as it doesn't use Sanwa or Seimitsu parts, so the reliability of the controls may be a cause for concern.

Here's a Hori stick thats a little over budget but very much will suffice. Just be sure to use it in PS3 mode if you're on PC.

Otherwise look on ebay for second hand sticks, look for Hori and some Madcatz TEs.

If you're just getting into it there's a few budget minded sticks that you can go for like the fightstick alpha or the Hori mini. I wouldn't recommend them if you really want to get into fighting games, but if you get the for under £40 its not a bad thing to invest in to see if you're interested.

I bought HRAP 4 Kai and I don't see myself switching anytime soon (it's considered low-mid range price, there are also more expensive). It was on discount on amazon.fr only 2 days ago for 99 euros.

I used a MCZ SE for most of SF4 so upgraded to a Hori RAP4 for SFV, I love it, no issues so far, works great on PS4 and PC, parts are good (though I replaced the hayabusa joystick with a sanwa due to preference) and it's a reasonable price compared to the TEs.

Just a warning though, it has less room below the buttons for your hands, I personally like this, but for people who have used TEs it might seem restrictive

what platform? there's no reason to go custom or spend a grip on your first stick.

buy used - check CL or ebay or the trading subforum that /u/narcowski linked
or get this hori stick. i have one it's fine. - https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492739825&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+rap+4

i've heard nothing but good things about the hori real arcade pro 4 kai (EU139.39) (link below).
i did the same and learned with a hori fight stick mini which was an awesome experience, although awkward to get used to the position at first, still using it to this day but got a pro 4 kai on the way.
the mini fight stick did require some 3rd party software (joy2key) to run, but very easy to set up, and very responsive.

hope this helps!

I don't have much expercience with fight sticks either but I have bought this one just for Tekken 7 (and because playing with a pad for a while hurts my hands a lot). The fight stick got a really good reputation and it's also compatible with PC if you plan to get T7 on Steam. I also made this thread a few weeks ago where I asked for fighting stick recommendations. Hopefully it will help you with your decision :)

The new models of the Hori RAP 4 Kai should all have Hayabusa stick & Hayabusa buttons with their updated PCBs which has an XInput mode in addition to PS3/PS4 mode and reduced input lag. I ordered one off Amazon last week and it's all there.

Personally I prefer the Hayabusa lever + buttons to Sanwas. The stick movements feel smoother to me than my Sanwa sticks, the difference in resistance is noticeable and I find it easier to instant air dash and whatnot.

The Hayabusa buttons have noticeably shorter travel distance compared to the Sanwas, it's kinda like comparing Cherry Red MX to Speed switches.

I also very much like that the stick + buttons are slightly further spaced from each other, it makes the whole experience feel less cramped.

Looking at the listing on https://www.amazon.de/Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PlayStation/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1526897111&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+4+kai - it looks identical to the listing on the UK site (notice how on the last 3 pictures the stick has a little grey strip along the right hand side with a legend of what buttons are under that right hand side ledge, my RAP 4 Kai has this and is the updated model!).

I'd pull the trigger on a RAP 4 Kai, if you got a PS3/PS4/PC switch & matte finish buttons you're good to go.

In regards to warranty - https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/11/ftc-warranty-warning/ I thought it was illegal for companies to refuse warranty because of stickers?

Edit - Forgot to mention the gate:

I would say stick with stock parts as long as you can before trying out things like different gates, be patient with getting used to the controller. Building muscle memory will take time!

I remember when I first started out I tried all sorts of nonsense like stiffer springs, octo gates, bigger actuators, hitbox etc. but in the end I wound up on a stock RAP 4 Kai and all I really needed to do was find a comfortable setup and git gud.

On the plus side I can now switch between pad/stick/hitbox/keyboard at will and it'll take only a few minutes to get combos down haha. I'm still tempted by the hitbox dark side but for now unless I can get a specific style of custom hitbox made I'll probably just use this stick now.

I don't live in the UK but a quick search turned this up:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

A RAP 4 Kai for 88.92 pounds including free shipping to UK. Wouldn't this be better? Literally a better stick for the same price.

Also my thoughts are that unless you're looking for some very specific modifications that even better off-the-shelf sticks (Rap 4 Kai, Razer Panthera, Qanba Obsidian etc) don't come with, modding a stick overall doesn't seem to be worth it. Most of the money you save from the initial price difference is re-invested into the modding process, and what little left of the remaining savings doesn't seem to be worth the extra effort and time needed to learn and complete the modding process. Not to mention the fact that cheaper fightsticks often feature lower quality casings as well.

Think about it this way: good fightsticks are already so expensive for the average gamer so like any other manufacturer of products, they'd want to strike a good balance between profits for themselves and affordability for consumers in other to increase the Return-On-Investment for their IP (which is essentially coming up with the design of the fightsticks).

If it was economically feasible to sell it for that much cheaper, they'd have done it already.

HORI is probably just assuming the Nintendo Switch will have some fighting games. After all, that's just a previously-released product, the HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai, adapted for the Switch.

Almost anything is better than mayflash.

My personal favorite is this:

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=hori+rap4&qid=1564374806&s=gateway&sprefix=hori+rap&sr=8-1

The sooner you get into the game, the sooner you can learn it and figure out of you actually like it. It's probably cheaper now than it will be when UNICLR comes out, and the game will change, but not so drastically that your time in UNIST will have been totally wasted.

As for sticks, the Hori Rap 4 Kai sounds like what you want.

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

Yes.

Most Fighting Games can deal with Direct Input devices like Sticks...unless they do not like the Unreal Engine based games.

Madcatz has own drivers for the PC too.

Hori should work right out of the box too.

No idea for the Razer Atrox or the Etokki and Qanba.

Edit: A few examples

http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-FightStick-PlayStation4-PlayStation3-playstation-4/dp/B018AW408C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459260959&sr=8-1&keywords=madcatz+ps4+sfv

shell out a bit more for an hrap v4 kai which will work on pc/ps4
(around 140usd on amazon)

I cannot attest to the quality of Mayflash fight sticks. If you're looking at something like this then I'll say I bought something very similar for the PS2, I'm talking probably the same stick even, and the build quality was very poor. The buttons specifically were so stiff they were hard to press. I bought it and a converter to play a Wii fighting game, but the stick's quality bummed me out enough to quit. If I had played the game as much as I wanted, maybe the buttons would have loosened up... or maybe I would have accidentally broken the thing.

However a stick like that would work on PC. I mean, it would plug in, and the buttons and stick would function. It'd just be a cheap, potentially crappy/easily broken stick. I bought my PS2 stick like 6 years ago so maybe the build quality is better now.

If you want my recommendatiom, I'd buy a regular pad like the PS3/PS4 pad or 360/One pad. The idea that fighting games are best played on sticks is a myth; many pro players in every game use pad and dominate. Many theorize that pads are actually superior overall to sticks. In fact, the penultimate controller for fighters seems to be something called a "Hit Box" which replaces the stick entirely with buttons (very similar to a keyboard at that point). What it boils down to is using something comfortable... which I worry the mayflash stick won't be.

Anyways, I'd recommend a pad because they're just as good as sticks, if not better, and they can be used for multiple types of games. The best pad users seem to like the PS3 style pad, which would be the one I recommend since its the cheapest with a decent dpad... though, personally, when I use pad, I use the analog sticks. If you REALLY want a stick, the only quality ones I know of are in the $150 range... stuff like this. It's possible to buy a cheapo stick and upgrade it with nicer parts, and its not necessarily all that hard, but that's a lot of hoops to jump through to play DBZ.

Sorry bro, it seemed to have sold yesterday for the prime price of $5.

It retails for $140 lol. But then again, my bro said to donate or sell it cheap so we have no control over the price since everything at the yardsale was $10 or lower.

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

That is the RAP4.


I'll ask around for you to see if anyone have a fight stick or pad near me and willing to donate bro.

Aw damn, the SoulCalibur VI RAP N went back up in price. The PS4 version was $106 several days ago the last time I checked on Amazon and there was a good seller on eBay that sold it for around $85 to $95 which is where I got it from. Anyway, I do second this. It's my first fightstick and it's a blast.

The regular RAP N is priced lower than the SoulCalibur VI version on Amazon at $126.97 right now to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the SoulCalibur VI RAP N being $158.99.

https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Hayabusa-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B073C5PWS2/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=hori+rap+n&qid=1574632968&sr=8-1

If you're okay with used fightsticks, there is a seller, a pawn shop apparently with good reviews, selling the PS4 version of the Hori Tekken 7 RAP N for $99.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-Hayabusa-Tekken-7-Edition-Fight-Stick-PS4080/233395481925?hash=item3657746d45:g:cS0AAOSwfOBdxeKs&shqty=1&isGTR=1#shId

Personally, I wouldn't buy it not because it's used, but because of the price. From what I gathered, the Tekken 7 version is more of a collector's edition. It's usually more expensive than the regular RAP N and the SoulCalibur VI which because it was attached to a less popular game, is sold for less than the regular RAP N where except for not have these rubber mats under them, the same thing the Tekken 7 version lacks if I recall correctly, it's the same fightstick with a different art and case color. That is just me, though, if you really want a RAP N, like the Tekken 7 stock art, and are okay with the price, then sure.

Another "used" fightstick is the Rap 4 Kai which was mentioned by another user on Amazon. Amazon Warehouse currently has a "like new" offer for the Rap 4 Kai and it's $116.85. I've had good experiences with Amazon Warehouse, but there have been some misses like they sent me the wrong items. Not all that bad since you can just send it back and get a refund.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=soul+calibur+fightstick&qid=1574631682&sr=8-7

Someone else posted a thread about how the Razer Panthera Evo is on sale on their site and their eBay store for $140. The one issue with the Panthera Evo is that it can be difficult to install a Korean lever. You did not mention any 3D fighters like Dead or Alive, SoulCalibur, or Tekken, so it probably won't matter much, but in the future if you ever get into those, especially Tekken, or you really want to try out a Korean lever, then it could be a pain to install.

There's a user selling the Qanba Obsidian here. I do not want to imply the user is a bad person, but do be careful. The thread's title was not changed, but they're asking for $125 now.

https://www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/dyopbe/wts_qnaba_obsidian_140_shipped/

The HRAP Kais were just $110 about a week ago. Keep checking back to see if the price goes back down again:

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1450206391&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+ps4

Hey all! I'm looking to get a fight stick for SFV, but I'm not too sure what I should be getting. I'm willing to spend ~$150 on it, and this stick is what my buddies recommended to me, and it seems to be my best choice from the searching I've done. Are there better options or is this a good option that I should go for?

With the PCB, five 24mm buttons, eight 30mm buttons, joystick, and USB wires/connector you're over $100 (that's without a touchpad, balltop, shaft sleeve, extra wires for the home/options/share/R2/R3 buttons, PCB harness, and shipping).

Then there's materials and time spent on a decent case - $20 to $30 I think would be reasonable.

In the end I can guarantee that you will save at most $10 if you built this from scratch. And that's if you spend almost nothing on the case.

I'm not trying to stop you from making you're own stick - I've done it and loved every minute. But honestly if saving money is the biggest concern, I think buying a prebuilt is the way to go. There's a reason that independent stick builders charge insane amounts of money for a custom project.

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

Thoughts on this stick?

Those extra 2 buttons are for all punches and all kicks. You don't actually need them, as you can press all three buttons at once instead, but if you find that difficult to do, those buttons are useful for that.
You can also map other things to those buttons, like throws or whatever, if you want.

Honestly, learning to play with just 6 buttons from the get-go is pretty neat.

My only gripe with that stick is the size and weight of it. You'll want it to rest firmly on your lap/desk when you play. It should never ever move when you do sudden inputs.

I have this arcade stick, and the only gripe I had with that was the Kuro buttons on it, which I have switched out with Sanwa buttons. I recommend it, but know that it will take you a while to get used to a stick. You'll suck for days if not weeks.

Yes

I'm assuming you already own an arcade stick with a Korean stick so if you know how to install PCBs you can look into using this one http://videogamesnewyork.com/brook-ps3-ps4-fighting-board/ which is made for ps3/ps4 they also have adapters as well if you don't know how to install PCBs. If you don't have a korean stick then what'd you want is this http://www.focusattack.com/crown-303-fk-korean-joystick-clear-black/ it's a Korean stick and for a few more dollars you get some cable which allows you to plug it into any arcade stick that uses Japanese sticks. I don't know much about the venom stick just that people normally get it because it's cheaper since it uses generic parts but amazon has the hori kai stick on sale right now which is considered a good arcade stick some say the buttons suck others have no problem I was originally going to get it before I found the pcb I mentioned which I'll probably put inside my stick http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SULMRI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449854217&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=hori+stick

The Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai is supposed to be really good.

Edit: Forgot the Kai

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SULMRI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1426440508&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+v4&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Looks like Amazon still has this one in stock. I just picked it up last week and I'm happy with it - it's an improvement over my v3 Kai. I have been experiencing an issue playing on PC where it doesn't work unless I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in again, which is a minor annoyance. I haven't looked into a fix yet.

i use the hori gamepad

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

> no problem, i also played melee for about a year and then transitioned to this game, this is my first sf game. I love melee but i can honestly say i haven't looked back

buy a fight commander 4, aside the default ps4 controller imo its the best pad to play on, good features , good quality and the 6 button layout is perfect for SF games. also the controller is not TOO expensive

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468827278&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+fighting+commander


heres a less feature filled on, but equally good

https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210671/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468827278&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+fighting+commander

If you want a quick lowdown on whats not on the cheaper model is, its missing the repositional d-pad as well as the dpad diagonal sensitivity adjuster (this helps for more rigid controls or looser controls for easier circular motions). The shape is also slightly different but thats not a biggy :)

If you want to use an actual stick, I'd say it's probably not worth getting the Alpha. Miniature sticks such as the Alpha and the Hori Fighting Stick Mini tend to be uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time, and are made using lower quality parts than full-size sticks. If you want a stick, the cheapest one I'd recommend would probably be the Qanba Carbon. I own one and it's a fairly nice stick for beginners. Technically it's not a PS4 controller, but Street Fighter 5 and a few other games support it in Legacy Mode. Check to see if the other fighting games you have support Legacy controllers. If they do, this is a great option for your price range. Otherwise, your next best bet is probably the Qanba Drone.

If you want a pad, the revamped fightpad pro is a good choice. I've never used one but the new model has gotten significantly better reviews than the problematic previous model. Personally I went with the Hori FC4, but the price has gone significantly up since that model isn't being manufactured anymore. The newer model is only $40 though, so that fits in your budget.

Will this controller work well for the PC? Do I need to install special drivers or perform obscure steps to make it work?

If you enjoy using a pad and wanna switch it up you can try and get one of these. I have no experience with these in particular, however I have heard very good things about the hori fc4.

Practice and take breaks often. Your brain needs time to digest what it just learned. With time, it'll come naturally. I like to compare it to MMO's in a way. The same way you would grind for gear or whatever, you grind your combos until your really proficient at it. Eventually you'll get so good that even new characters will be a quick learning experience (execution wise, not footsie wise).

Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it on a controller. I can name like 10 pro's of the top of my head that prove that wrong.

I do however, recommend a controller with all the buttons on the face like this one

But it's not necessary. Use whatever you're comfortable with.

Check something like Amazon out, and search for "hori" and see what pops up. I hear the FC4 has a track record, check it out http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1457896848&sr=1-2&keywords=hori

First one

Second one

Both of these are generally considered the best new generation fightpads.

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1457293002&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+fight+commander

For anyone looking for a ps4 pad to play with or use for dual modding, the Hori FC4 is down to 35 bucks on amazon: Link.

Link to my original post

I guess that even though the post was getting upvotes, as it is a thing one needs to play Street Fighter games at a price that people would surely like to know about, the mods determined it be relegated to the daily thread where it may fall through the cracks for some readers. Ah well. Hopefully anyone interested in a useful deal will happen to see this in the next eleven hours.

Hope the mods will consider allowing people to post peripheral deals in the future, as I don't think they come by often enough to clog the main feed. Just my opinion, of course.

Xbox One or PC? With reference to the MKX pad, I'm assuming Xbox One. If PC, the Hori Fighting Commander 4 is the one to beat:

HORI Fighting Commander 4 Controller for PlayStation 4/3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QBkzyb4XM5CQ8

As far as Fight Sticks go, it's hard to beat anything Hori for price and the Hayabusa Stick and Kuro buttons are truly great:

HORI Real Arcade Pro.V Kai Fighting Stick for Xbox One, Xbox 360, & Windows PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JP894/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JDkzybZXA69JS

If you're a fan of Sanwa Denshi parts instead, I personally bought an old, MadCatz Tournament Xbox 360 fight stick on Craigslist for $60 (may be able to find some for less) and installed the Brooks Universal PCB in it. Most of the installation is insanely easy unless you choose to solder the present USB cable to the board like I did. Since this PCB is Universal, it works on all platforms (save Wii U):

https://www.focusattack.com/brook-universal-fighting-board/

Hope this helps!

It's okay. I sometimes fuck myself up by hitting the middle of button of the DS Pad (cause I fat finger it), but other than that it's just like any other pad. I'm hoping they port PS3 TE sticks for the PS4 SF5, but I'm not holding my breath. PS: Battery life blows on the DS4.

For setting it up at events, it's not complicated as long as people disconnect the DS4 that they connected. Pretty much someone else can make it super complicated for everyone else.

Edit: If you're looking for a alternative pad you could maybe look into something like this http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/

It was on sale the other day for $29, so you could either get it asap or wait for it to go on sale again.

Try a hori fighting commander. Great pad designed for fighters.

I use these. Can't go back now. They really help.

This. I also am looking for a fightstick. Even though it's cheap, don't buy this.

To sum up what have been said by others, I think you could go with a setup like this one:

• a left-handed or ambidextrous mouse with several programmable buttons where you can place abilities or call-outs. Here's a couple ones: SteelSeries Sensei 310 - Razer Naga - BenQ Zowie FK1 (some of them aren't made for FPS so you might wanna try them first)
  
  
• a fragpedal for crouching and jumping
  
  
• for WASD, if you can't find the joystick things Nicholas is talking about another solution could be to get an arcade stick and use joytokey to remap the analog joystick to WASD keys. There are small and relatively cheap ones like this one. These analog sticks have the advantage of giving a very clear feel of the direction you're pressing through distinct "clicks". You might also be able to find standalone joysticks with a similar feel.

IIRC a diamond ibuki player plays on keyboard so its not impossible.

My advice to you is to go into training mode and start practicing the motions. Quarter circle, Half circle, Z motion(Dp), etc etc until you feel comfortable doing them consistently. It will take time but eventually you will get it down.

But if you find it awkward still you can get a Hori pad for about $40 right now OR if stick is more of your thing you can get a Hori mini for about $40.

Remember that these will not make you any better at the game. It will take some time to get execution and timings down all while learning the basics of the game.

Cheers~

I literally just bought myself the Hori Fight Stick Mini 4. This is also tempting.. Maybe I'll buy it for guests, or something. Thanks for this post!

I currently own a Madcatz fightstick TE for the xbox 360 and I use it on PC. I love it but I'm currently worried about attending tournaments for SFV. I was thinking about picking up this stick so I can play on PS4s. I will continue to use the TE at home and only use the hori mini just as a tournament stick and a player 2 stick. My question is will it be too hard to switch between the two (obviously this new stick will be no where near the quality of the TE) or will it be fine?

If you are just starting out for cheap you can get a hori fight stick mini for about $50.

if you want a large one you really cant go wrong with a Qanba drone.

if its your first stick it may a take a few days to get used to, but i personally use the mini when i travel to a friends house and a larger stick at home.

You mean like this new Hori FS Mini 4 for the PS4 that will be released on December 14? http://amzn.com/B014KXMEW4 it's going for $40 on pre-order.

I wonder how easy that stick is to mod though. I have a MadCatz CE and that thing was easy to mod. The old Hori FS EX2 for the Xbox 360 was a pain to mod.

I bought the stick as well he was selling 12 sticks as a new seller from Texas, USA all gone within 24 hrs. The Item has been dispatched.

This stick Hori Arcade Stick VLX retails for $300 here is the proof https://www.amazon.com/Arcade-Premium-Fighting-Stick-PlayStation-Licensed/dp/B015HAKX36/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499096208&sr=8-1&keywords=hori%2Barcade%2Bstick%2Bvlx&th=1 so either the seller is dumb or he is false advertising.

Anyway I'm sure Amazon are tough against cases like this.

I have a HORI Real arcade Pro Viewlix with Kuro Buttons I purcahsed it with my preorder of tekken 7 awhile ago I love it.

Not sure, but it's already at $60 (Standard price) on Amazon, or at least it was when I looked on Sunday.

EDIT: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-DUALSHOCK-4-Crystal-Playstation/dp/B015S4JIWS

This? https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-DUALSHOCK-4-Crystal/dp/B015S4JIWS

NP and good luck! If your heart is dead set on that design, $400 isn't a terrible deal considering a broken TE2+ goes for at least $200 (for some goddamn reason), the EZ mod/Brook UFB combo is another $140, and you'll be lucky to ever find red side panels to begin with, let alone pay less than $70-$100 for them.

Otherwise, you can save $150-200 or so and get a HORI pad that's just as good, if not better. They even make a Tekken 7 version if you can find it.

The main brands are madcatz, hori, qanba and razr.

Everyone seems to like those and you can usually customize them to your liking.

Some players like sanwa buttons but others like semitsu and some like ball top but others like bat top and some like heavy sticks but others...most like heavier sticks.

I've never heard anything bad about the brands I've mentioned.

Also, you can always customize the art work for cheap yourself so don't worry about how it looks.

Hey /u/Gemini_99, I have a HORI Tac Grip that I purchased but never ended up using. It's basically half a controller. Sounds like it might be perfect for you. It can be set up to either emulate a PS4 controller, or function as a native KB+M. And you can plug any mouse into it too. I would happily give it to you for free if you think it might be good... it's just collecting dust right now.

How can Blizzard ban people for using official Sony licensed PS4 hardware?

I'm assuming you are on ps4/pc? There are a ton of good sticks to pick from.

• Hori Fighting edge
  
  
• Razer Panthera
  
  
• Qanba Obsidian
  
  
• Madcatz te2/te2+
  
  They are all in the $200 price range and are all great sticks. Personally I have a te2 and love it. For the most part, it just comes down to preference. If I had to pick, I'd probably go for the Panthera since I don't think Madcatz is making sticks again after they came back.
  
  All of these sticks besides the Hori fighting edge use sanwa parts. The Hori stick uses their own parts, but they are really solid from what I've heard (you can swap buttons/joysticks in any of these sticks, so it isn't the biggest deal).
  
  In terms of using custom art, the Te2 is probably the easiest. The Panthera and Te2 are the easest to mod overall because of their clamshell designs where you can open them up with buttons on the front, but all of these sticks are easy to mod.
  
  I've tried an obsidian and didn't like the shape of the case or the way it looks, but that is just my preference.
  
  I'd just look up each of the sticks and see which one looks best to you. You can't really go wrong with any of them.

For me, over there: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Revolution-Pro-Controller/dp/B01NBKW254/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1484322300&sr=1-1&keywords=nacon+revolution+pro+controller

nacon ps4 controller is pretty good a little pricey though

man lets just say that I own a Nacon Revolution and I tried being cheap to beat my undefeated friend and it didn't even work lol. I mapped 8 buttons to O and it's always one sided and i know he has a regular controller,

I honestly don’t know what to recommend. I sent my Scuf Vantage in for repair earlier this month, it was suffering from severe dead zones in both sticks that made playing any shooters impossible since you just can’t fine tune your aim when there’s dead zones. My Vantage also suffered from an odd issue where the analog sticks would make clicking sounds without even pushing them down to activate sprint, you could also physically feel like they were hitting something internally, the issue still persisted even after removing the analog sticks and swapping them out for different ones.

I purchased a Nacon Revolution Pro 2 controller while I wait for my Vantage to return from repair, but I also can’t recommend it since The triggers are shaped oddly, so when you guys push them to shoot it kinda sinks your fingers in at an angle and it just doesn’t feel right. The Nacon does offer a lot of customization via the pc software that lets you tweak dead zones and how the controller behaves, but even with tweaking it still feels weird while playing games, also the Nacon isn’t wireless.

Right now I would recommend people to wait if they’re in the market for a pro controller, Astro announced their C40 TR controller which looks great, you can move the modules around, so if you like the stick DS4 stick layout you can have that, but if you like the Xbox one stick layout you can move the analog sticks around and have it set up like an Xbox one controller. The Astro C40 is also the same price as the Scuf Vantage at 200 bucks, only downside is that it releases in March of next year, but if I personally didn’t already purchase a Vantage I would have just waited for the Astro controller, but they didn’t announce it back when I was looking for a new controller. ASTRO Gaming C40 TR Controller - PlayStation 4 - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KF1FB1F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LTs8Bb8HAR5D0

$200. Link if you wanna buy it

You can get a emulator front end for pc which works great it's also much easier to play mame aka arcade games on pc vs retro pie and obviously youu have more storage, like someone said above stay away from the packages of controllers, first those things should be 5 bucks a piece, not 80 for 3. Plus you don't want nes controller if you're emulating because you have access to so many consoles and with different controller layouts it's best to get one to suit your needs perfect. If you want to go cheap I'd honestly suggest this controller you can find it cheaper usually around 10 bucks PS3 Versus Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051MQK6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XgOCzb45T1KKH
I use it as my player two but honestly you'd be better off getting a couple of those. But since you're willing to spend 80 on garbage might as well spend it on something quality? I'd get one of the above controllers, and do what I did and get the best of the best for yourself Imo this is the best

HORI Fighting Commander 4 Controller for PlayStation 4/3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tjOCzb8PD2QKE


Both work on retropie as well and I use them to emulate on my pc and retropie and I couldn't be happier.

100s of controller that work on pc, don't need a ps4/xbone controller. Search "fightpad pc" (try xbox too) and lots pop up

I have this one for ps4, great pad. Think it should work on PC native too.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450829211&sr=8-1&keywords=fight+pad

what about something like this or this

I have never used a fighting stick before. I am going to buy a fight pad instead. I am looking to play UMvC3 on PC (and maybe PS4). My xbox one controller does not work anymore. The RB button is broken. I used my xbox one controller for MKX, the D-pad seemed okay.

• HORI Fighting Commander 4
  
  OR
  
  
• HORI Fighting Commander
  
  From what I have read the Fighting Commander 4's d-pad is more reliable. I have read that some of the Fighting Commander's d-pad break pretty easy. Would it be better to spend the $65 over the $40?
  

It looks to be a different model, notice that it has symmetrical handles as opposed to the Hori Commander 4's banana handle thingie.

Any other differences you know of?

I was looking at the Hori FC4 which looks pretty nice.

Buy this and you'll never want for a better brawlhalla control setup. Next patch has fixes for it, but it still works well currently.

The dpad is phenomenal. Other people seem to have answered your arcade stick question so I'll just dump this here.

I recommend this for fighting games, I use it myself on PC

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

Hori makes a game pad for fighting games. It will be released April 30th http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1425322455&sr=1-6&keywords=hori+ps4+controller

Honestly I haven't really found a pad I like all that much. Sega Saturn controller or something like that would probably be the best but yeah.

HORI Fighting Commander 4

(new player)

I play SFV on PC with a dualshock 3. I like the controller but the D-pad hurts my thumb so I use my t-shirt to do my movements more smoothly.

I wanted to know if there's an accessory like this kind of D-pad that I can add above my PS3 or PS4 controller.

Otherwise, do you recommand this model ?

My priority is to get a smooth d-pad, precise of course, but not something that burns my thumb like the dualshock 3.

Thank you.

To anyone here who knows anything about building PS4 arcade sticks, I'm looking into building one. I hear taking apart a PS4 controller for the parts might be necessary. Is there a wired controller (3rd party or otherwise) that's known to be easy to take apart? So far, this looks like the most appropriate.

I second this.

I've just started playing MKX a couple of months ago and wanted to play it seriously and try to be competitive.

Only thing I had was the 360 controller which sucks balls.

You don't want to use an analog stick you want to use a good D-pad and the 360 D-pad sucks.

I didn't know how much I would be into this game or not so I got this $20 fightpad by PDP which was wayy better than my expectations for it. I highly recommend it for the price.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RYW3FF4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you really like the game and want something better get this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TKLFES8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just got mine today and it does feel noticeably better than the PDP pad.

I think some more serious people use fight sticks and hitboxes and other strange controllers but I don't know ab any of that shit.

I've got the ps3 Madcatz SFxTekken fight pad which works really well, but it's pretty expensive on Amazon now. Haven't used it before, but this HORI pad is great for the price. I'm looking to get a fightstick eventually, but my pad will have to do for now. I was so excited when I found out SFV lets you use ps3 peripherals, it feels much better than the ps4 controller

Hmmm, ive actually been looking at the Ps4 Fightpad here: http://amzn.com/B00TKLFES8 buttons aligned traditionally, i think one of the things that bends me out of shape with how it is currently is the triggers mess me up for the H attacks, brain doesnt get it. So this might be a decent investment (and with inputmapper i can use it on my PC) However if there's something bad about Horis let me know, i have an old hori gem pad for xbox 360 and it works great.

I'm using the KontrolFreek Grips. They're not bad for $20. The first pair I had wore out really fast, but word had gotten to me that they were probably part of a defective batch. I got a new pair recently that seems to hold up great.

Assuming you play on PS4:

Qanba Carbon (about $60) https://www.amazon.com/Qanba-Joy-Stick-Carbon-PS3-PC/dp/B01HSQE7IY

Don't have this one because I heard a lot of negitive things about it but got this one instead. I have had it for about two months and no problems so far. I do enjoy having the 8 buttons instead of 6 but that is just me.

Does anyone know how to get my fight stick to work on pc? I bought this one and the reviews say it should work on pc.

I heard the Hori Mini is a pretty good stick for it's low price. It's roughly 40 USD on Amazon.

> and I don't want to get a stick (because if I go to someone's house, they prob don't have a stick)

> "Methinks"

Dude... legit asking, are you above the age of 12? Do you understand how fightsticks work?

Also you're not gonna get a good answer for what Juri "needs" because not only a lot of players are thorn about this new iteration of her, Capcom seems to secretly hate her when it comes to balance. So no amount of advice of suggestions even from players like Infiltration will amount to much of anything being done to her current state.

Just buy this fightstick for starters (it's portable you dense brat) and keep playing Guile. If you're not interested in EITHER of those, then i suggest you get USF4 and play Juri in that iteration since she was a strong "zoner" type of character with no power-up/charge system, much like you describe.

---

Edit: I think i read something wrong but it's somehow even more stupid, so if what you meant was:

"its unfair that my friend has no fightstick"

-No it isn't, if they're willing to fight you then they're gonna use a character that doesn't make them struggle if they use the PS4 D-Pad, and this cements my theory that you must be very young because what mature person would call bullshit on that you have a stick and they don't?, they'd just buy one if they're that concerned & into fighting games.

Hori mini. $60 Canadian at Toys R Us. Not sure what the US price would be or where you could find one in stores.

Hori Rap 4 premium vlx. The only problem I've had with this stick is that on PC I need to use a program to re-map the inputs so I can use it with SFV.

These are the best sticks at the moment for ps4, IMO.


Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai $150 (black/white/blue/red) (Hori / Sanwa / Seimitsu)

This stick has a Hori branded joystick and buttons (Hayabusa & Kuro) Hayabusa has a good feeling, even considered slightly better than Sanwa by some.

Kuro buttons are quite a different feeling, they are matte with less sensibility than sanwa and have more travel from pressing the button to reach the bottom and being detected.
Most people get rid of their Kuro buttons and swap with Sanwa's tbh, but some like it.

Arcadeshock sells these sticks already modified with Sanwa or Seimitsu parts for some $10 bucks more.

Amazon

Arcaseshock


Qanba Obsidian $200 (Full Sanwa) - Side leds, made more of metal. Shiny, solid, wide and looks cool.

Arcadeshock

Amazon

Razer Panthera $200: (Full Sanwa) - Front button to open and easly access the stick, lower input delay than other sticks (except Broo's UFGB).

Razer

Amazon

Qanba Dragon $300 (Full Sanwa) - Unnecessarily expensive, stick is a tank, easy open design and like 90% of full metal body.

Arcadeshock

Amazon

Hori Real Arcade Pro V. Premium VLX $300 (Black/Red) (Hori parts) - So big it's uncomfortable to travel with, playing with it feels awesome I got one.
Cons are the joystick sounds a little bit too hollow when moving around (you can get used to tho) and has tons of input delay. With some modifications (changing the PCB with a UFGB and Kuro for Sanwa buttons) it's an awesome stick.

I modded it heavily but the base stick is the Hori VLX.

Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK 4) Crystal

PlayAsia also has them for $65(What I paid). They are for sure 1st party Japan exclusives, not modded or 3rd party. They look much better in person than in OP's pic. Note that the back LED does not light up the controller at all.

This product? https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-DUALSHOCK-4-Crystal-Playstation/dp/B015S4JIWS

From the reviews (all good scores, basically troll 1-star ratings) and images, it seems fairly legit. Internal casing looks about right, genuine buttons and sticks.

>What signs can I look for when it arrives to tell if it is real or not?

Compare the buttons to a real DS4, feel the grip of the bottom of the controller and the thumbsticks (again compare). Plug and play, and note the colour that lights up (it should be orange/yellow like a normal controller on charge).

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-DUALSHOCK-4-Crystal-PlayStation/dp/B015S4JIWS

Ummm.....what do you mean plain?

Dualshock controllers have WAY more variety than the Xbone controllers in regards to colors and designs.....mainly due to promotional partnerships. There's a Star Wars theme, CoD theme, Uncharted theme, etc.

Also hasn't Sony been making more money than Microsoft due to the sell through ratio being 2-1?

All that being said, I would die for an elite controller too.

You can see them spinning if you have this controller.

Can I use a Japanese controller on the American console?

Controllers are not region locked.

The HORI RAP 4 is a solid choice.

If you really want to go cheap the HORI Mini works well enough. If you stick with fightticks you will almost certainly replace it, which I did with the RAP 4. That said, the Mini still serves as my spare if anyone is over.

I'm thinking about this one now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-4961818025127-Fighting-Stick-Mini/dp/B019MMN94A/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1510801331&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+arcade+stick

Good choice?

Hey, with you providing great info before I thought to question you on this stick - Any thoughts? I assume with 3rd party software it would work on PC though could be wrong. Thanks :D

i use this guy it's honestly not that bad. someday i would love to get the Qanba Crystal though.

The Hori Fighting Stick Mini seems pretty compact, although it's also cheap so the parts and build quality might not be too great. I don't know if it's mod-able at all either, so you might look into that before you pull the trigger on one.

You could also save some space on just about any stick by swapping the stock joystick shaft with a Phreak Mods Link. I can say from experience that being able to pop the stick off and put it in my pocket really makes the whole thing a lot less awkward to pack around, but the new shape of the shaft does take a little getting used to at first.

Small and cheap. If looking for something to try it out then no point breaking the bank.

Obviously it's a beginner thing, if you're super into it I'd recommend spending a bit more. That's not the same one I was thinking of either, I'm remembering a small white thing with green buttons. This was back when SFIV came out though.

The german Amazon still has some. Choose the cheaper ones for 37€ under new which are also from Amazon, which I bought. Only disadvantage is that it says it comes earliest at 16. April. Also can't say if it's cheaper than jp amazon with the shipping costs, better check both.

Are you looking for something on the smaller or larger side? This one is rare and has good parts, but for the price you can get something like the Qanba Obisdian which is very nice imo. A few other good options at that price are the Razer Panthera (if you can find one) and the Hori Tekken 7 stick. All of these that I mentioned will work on both PS4 and PC

I bought mine from Game Street long ago. Guess they’re hard to find now.

This one. My only gripe right now is I can't configure it with WinKawaks.

That exists - https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Assault-Commander-KeyPad-Gamepad-Controller/dp/B01L8QL2N8

Someone tweeted it out but surely he can just opt for something like this?, though not sure on the button layout if ever

Maybe if op had one of these to test with

https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Assault-Commander-KeyPad-Gamepad-Controller/dp/B01L8QL2N8/

Yeah, still going.

I don't do much multiplayer gaming on ps4 either. Not sicne I got into pc gaming really.

The Elite controller was a huge flop and it is strongly outdated, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have Bluetooth, and also you can simply buy the standard controller if you don't like it or buy one of the third party ones.

Is this it?

Hi guys!

If anyone wants to buy me this new controller off of my wish list they will receive all of the videos on this list

fulfilled

If you gift this to me send me a screen shot with proof of purchase!

one video will be sent in good faith after proof of purchase, and the rest will come after the item arrives! 🥰

Are you referring to this?: https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Magma-Red/dp/B011JGTTJQ/ref=sr_1_7?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479971857&sr=1-7&keywords=dualshock+4

That's the old model of the Magma Red, the new model is shown here for $49.99 CAD: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01MG0SN8J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the same new model on Amazon.com for $64.99 USD here: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Computer-Entertainment-DS4-Magma-Red/dp/B01MD19OI2/ref=sr_1_15?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479971945&sr=1-15&keywords=dualshock+4

You can tell the difference easily as the old Magma Red had black grips and the New model has a Reddish/burgundy coloured grips.

No, can still find it on amazon for it's og price.

Well, I have the TES+ which is an amazing stick. It is by Madcatz, who is now out of business. This stick will be rare and worth quite a bit in the coming years.

https://www.amazon.com/Fighter-FightStick-PlayStation4-PlayStation3-playstation-4/dp/B018AW408C?th=1

If you don't want to find one of them I recommend the Razer here: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Panthera-Arcade-Stick-Mod-Capable-Compartments/dp/B01N1KFRU7/ref=pd_cp_63_3/131-5054613-0716250?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N1KFRU7&pd_rd_r=H4CZ6D86C7H1H5VAPFTF&pd_rd_w=oovcS&pd_rd_wg=WJDrQ&psc=1&refRID=H4CZ6D86C7H1H5VAPFTF

Personally, I don't like any of the current Hori sticks. But people are always releasing new sticks. I'm not a huge fan of the artwork on the Razer, but the stick is quality. I will always love my TES+ though. I hope it holds up over the long term. Qanba is a good brand too but I don't really dig their aesthetics much.

It's all up to you.

I use the Razer Panthera with my Magic NS adapter and it's great!

It does NOT add input delay! I went into Shovel Knight co-op and press jumped same time on a Pro Controller and the fight stick and it was the exact same time. I will say they make the screen capture/ record button for playstation controllers is the touch pad button so be weary about that.

Yeah that adapter is so worth it if you have a PS4 or Xbox One. Best games so far for it are tetris, sine mora EX, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, Street Fighter, any of the NEO GEO games.

I mean, Amazon and Best Buy both have the Ds4 for $44.99, and [DLGamer] has MGSV as a Steam key for $21.99 for the next 4 days. So for $7 extra, you can still be all over it, if that's not a dealbreaker.

• Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows - $43.28
  
  
• DS4 Bluetooth Controller - $59.96
  
  The Xbox Controller comes with one of the dongles in the box anyway. It's really up to you if the DS4 is worth $16.68 more. Personally I think I'm just going to get the Xbox 360 controller, and I was thinking about picking on of these up for movie watching and web-browsing in bed anyway, so the trackpad support on the DS4 would probably be useless for me.

As of right now, the prices for controllers are staying the same. The Xbox One and PS4 controllers are both 59.96 USD on Amazon.

They're $60 for a controller, $5 more expensive than last generation. Don't believe me?

This is 47 dollars and probably better quality.

Get a controller, OP. seriously. it works so much better.

• If you like the worlds best controller ever all years you can get one at a discount here
  
  
• However, you need another free program called input mapper or ds4Windows. be sure to start them up before running steam.
  
  Also don't be greedy when fighting.
  
  
• Sometimes "just one more hit" uses up the last of your stamina and you're defenseless
  
  
• Drop your shield when you aren't in danger to regen your stamina.
  
  
• You don't have to fight every enemy. If you know where you're going, you can just run past most enemies and they will stop aggro eventually. Except for black knights.

I'd recommend buying a new one - while the Dualshock 4 is a great controller, lots of users have had issues with the thumbsticks after a year or so of use. I take really, really good care of my stuff and I've been through 4 controllers in 3 years (including extending life via manual repairs)

Amazon sells them new for $47, a fairly significant discount from the MSRP, but you can probably find better deals. The newer controllers seem a bit more solid and durable than the ones I bought at launch.

I have a wired 360 pad (but /u/Vulfilla posted a link to the wireless one) and I can say that I am very happy with the ergonomics, I have an old one with both sticks on the bottom, like the Logitech, and I feel that the 360 layout of having one stick at the top is much more comforable.

You might consider an Xbox One Controller, which people describe as being even more ergonomic, or a PS4 Controller.

So outrageous that the controller is $50 right? Hehehe...right?

Looks like the old version, and it seems like they got the exact same picture from here.

To work on PC, you can either connect via USB for generic controller, or USB/Bluetooth via DS4Windows. Nothing is really changed for PC use other than adding the light on top.

Pretty sure amazon don't break agreements.

This is the old model price since it's been on amazon.

Here is the new model

Feel free to put them in life time sale price of the item and for your information I do know what a sale is and I have never seen a sale go on for over a month.

Generally developers try and make games so they won't ever drop below 30fps...but I suppose it is always possible for it to happen if there are a lot of things happening on screen at once.

I haven't played Driveclub, but Killzone/Infamous/Knack have all been consistently smooth for me from start to finish.

Killzone is 30fps in single player, and 60fps in multiplayer, Infamous varies from about 30-45 unless you choose to cap it at 30 (in game option), and I don't know about Knack...but it was smooth.

Also, you can replace the ds4 thumb sticks with Xbox One sticks, or aluminum ones, or get thumb stick covers

\ = something weird about Killzone's multiplayer...it's interlaced vertically with some type of frame prediction engine to smooth it out...it LOOKS 60fps, and that's all that matters IMO.

But more importantly than all......... HAPPY CAKE DAY! I hope you have a wonderful one.

An extra dualshock 4 is a must. Always nice to have a spare. I prefer a charging stand over a cable (i only use the cable to sync my controllers), and a vertical stand. Also a Vita is a must have but you can always get one later.

I got the Dualshock 4 controller in Crystal White since I'm currently using an ancient rumblepad.

Talked to a chat rep who gave me the code when I whined that my pokemon preordering friends already got one 😂

Here is the white dualshock in case you're interested. Says it's in stock on 6/17.

I got the one sold by Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVP76G0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got it on Dec 31st.

Model: CUH-ZCT1U

because reasons

i believe he modified the plug on the N64 controller into a USB plug or used something like this, and attached that to an OTG cable.

at least that's how i'd do it if i was going to do wired. sixaxis controller+dualshock seems like a better choice to me, though. maybe i just hate wires.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

A great starter stick is the Venom although it probably depends where you live as to whether its cheap or not (i live in the UK so it works out about £70).

Still a big commitment financially but not the £200+ of the Madcatz sticks. Its a good quality stick and very easy to mod. Recebtly changed the buttons with ease and id never modded a stick before. The artwork on top of the stick is just paper that can be replaced so over time you can make changes to it if thats what you want.

Cheapest and quickest answer I can think of is to get a Venom stick.

https://www.amazon.com/Venom-Arcade-Stick-Sony-Playstation-4/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469130371&sr=8-1&keywords=venom+ps4+stick

The stock stick and buttons are surprisingly good for the price (although I did change them out for Sanwa parts that I already had in another stick for old formats).

This allows you to play on PS4, PC and PS3 out of the box. No messing, and easy to mod.

I think everyone's pretty united on this: you don't need a stick to be good at fighting games or to get the whole experience. I'm a kb/m guy who's been playing PC for over 20 years so controllers feel weird to me. I got a stick the day after I picked up SFV and decided to get serious about it. No handheld controller was going to work for me. I also remember having issues with blisters on my thumb and the like that I didn't want to get into again (this was back in Alpha 3). Hence the choice for a stick.

The first stick I got was this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NOAWLBE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't know where you're from but either this brand (Mayflash) or an equivalent will be available. It's moddable, easily, and the construction is very good. Quality stuff. Art is replaceable as the plexiglass top is only held in by some magnets. This thing was built as an awesome first stick with great customization options. The alternative one is this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468837173&sr=8-1&keywords=licensed+stick

They're the same thing but I don't know if the bottom one works on PC. The Mayflash one definitely does. Same chassis, much the same internals but compatibility might be slightly different.

I have since moved on to a Hori RAP4 Kai:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Again, using that on PC with no issues. Just need to drop x360ce into the SFV folder and run it once to detect the stick. Works like a dream from that point forward. If I ever buy a PS4 I know it'll work fine as well.

Hope this was helpful :)

Maybe it's your location? It's showing as in stock for me at £70 here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509626954&sr=8-1&keywords=venom+fightstick

The best and cheapest solution is a Dualshock 4 controller, give it a try i personally went from fightsticks back to controllers. If you really wanna get into fightsticks then choose one of these:

This one

I have no idea on that one. But if it doesnt ship there and you're in the UK I heard this stick is good for the price point:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

Its actually got pretty great reviwes, 4.5 stars

No man, its toooo old. you want to buy a new stick and not waste money on converters that will add input latency to your setup, there are loads of cheap PS4 sticks on amazon that can be upgraded with Sanwa parts or you can just buy a PS4 stick like Hori. All PS4 sticks work on PC

http://stores.horiusa.com/playstation-4/

alot of people get Hori or just buy a Madcatz

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M761SW4ARDBPMGVV3BVS

(this the cheapest one, but needs to be upgraded with Sanwa parts as the stock ones are shite)
You could easily put artwork on this stick and change the buttons and it would look cool...

I hope im not too late but if you're looking for a budget stick thats compatible with pc and ps4 this one is fantastic. Ive had it for a year and its still in fantastic shape, its easily customisable although i havent actually changed any parts as i havent had the extra money but i have opened it up to mess around and see if i can dismantle and put it back together, which is fairly simple even though its my first stick.
It comes in to around a 100 dollars i believe with shipping but its definitely worth it in my opinion its sturdy and of above average quality for a budget stick.
In relation to higher quality stuff the buttons arent as good as Sanwa and the stick can feel stiff for some people but as a beginner that shouldnt be an issue for you and even if it is you should be able to change out whatever you dislike fairly easily.

This is the same case as a Venom.

With shipping to the us it comes out about 100.00$ and it is Wired for PS4. I would rather just go for this.

A good cheap stick for option 3, would be the Venom Arcade Stick. No soldering required to mod it, just buy the buttons and stick you want, and plug them in. Although you'll need this cable for your stick.

Is this the one?

Uhm... There are apparently two versions.

Which one?
BTW, I'm not German. There's not a Czech amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

this is the stick I have. It's just standard and has had no changes and I don't think the parts are sanwa on it so if they are an upgrade I think I may as well do it :)

Thanks

I have two fightsticks. The first one I bought was a cheap Hori one, which wasn't particularly that good. Then I got this bad boy and have never looked back: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1520770477&sr=1-5&keywords=fightstick

It's not the flashiest fight stick with lots of extra buttons/functionalities, but it's rock solid and incredibly comfortable/responsive to play with. Plus it's pretty reasonably priced as well.

But yeah, I would suggest doing some research before you invest. See what others recommend and make a budget for how much you're willing to invest.

I also switched from pad to stick recently and I can say it's been an enjoyable challenge, the first day was definitely the hardest but it's so addictive.

As my first stick I picked up

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS

I got this one because I didn't want to make too big of an investment in case I didn't like it. The stick is also easily moddable.

Ah I see. That's tough, hopefully you can get an arcade style joystick at some point. It will be easier to grip.

This is ridiculously expensive but something like this: Officially Licensed Playstation Arcade Stick (PS4/PS3) by Venom http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_1ohfvb06TDEMK
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_1ohfvb06TDEMK

I got a Venom Fightstick, very nice, easy on the pockets. Even Desk uses it. Best part is that it is highly moddable. I replaced both my buttons and stick with sanwa parts. Highly reccomended.

It is available here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Venom-Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1525672313&sr=8-2&keywords=venom+fightstick

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NHDSINS?keywords=venom%20arcade%20stick&qid=1451333714&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

This fightstick is ps4, doesn't mention pc but I'm sure you'll find out if you google it. Apparently its a decent one... not incredible but a decent starter

That's not the same stick my dude.. i mean this one

A few friends (that play with stick aswell) actually recommended me this stick for my 100€ budget. My budget is pretty limited due to the fact that im a student.

The Venom posted below is alright if you're not sure, but most people will tell you to upgrade to Sanwa parts anyway, which creates a false economy. Unfortunately, in the UK we're actually pretty limited in terms of fight sticks available for purchase (for reasonable amounts of money).

I bought my RAP4 for about £120 and it's got a decent amount of heft, so it won't shift around like a Mayflash. Adjusting from pad to stick took a bit of getting used to (you'll get worse before you get better!) but it does save a lot of strain on your thumbs and IMO certain actions become way easier to pull off.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-x/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/

As far as the other discussion of Sanwa vs Hori goes, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. I've used both and prefer Hori, but I can't say that my performance would be affected if I had to play on anything else.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HORI-Arcade-Hayabusa-Fight-Stick/dp/B07895D3XF/

This is pretty much the same thing as the RAP4, but I think the layout is *slightly different. Around about the same on Amazon Prime though.

thanks for the replys, I`ll think i go for a stick because i dont have any controller skills anyway. Thanks for the help, what about this stick? http://www.amazon.fr/Manette-Arcade-Real-Fighting-Stick/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457362167&sr=8-1&keywords=fightstick or should I wait till SF5 support Directinput?

its realy hard to find xinput fightsticks here in Germany and if I order one in USA/Japan the fees are really high.
Edit: Iam very sorry about my bad english

If you wanted a Hori RAP 4 Kai, it's ~ $210 aud including shipping off amazon uk, pretty cheap considering EB sells it for $237

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501512185&sr=8-1&keywords=Hori+rap

You can also grab a razer panthera for ~ $280 on ebay using discount code 'PLAYER' which provides 20% off ($70); also use cashrewards for an additional $5 off.

However, this offer expires on the 31st.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Razer-Panthera-Fight-Stick-PS4-PS3-PC-PS4-/292159685386?epid=721232054&hash=item440613030a:g:LbIAAOSwjvJZS4Xc

That stick looks almost identical to my first stick, and here's the best way to look at it;

Are you wanting a stick to see if you like/want to use arcade sticks over controllers? Not a bad deal

Are you wanting a stick to actually play stuff with? This stick is trash (the parts are so cheap that it'll break within weeks, not to mention no weight to it so it'll slide around constantly). If you end up liking how a stick feels and plays, you'll pretty quickly wish you had a better one.

The cheapest stick out there that's solid for the long term would be the HORI RAP 4. It's a great stick that I used for a long while, and would still be using if I didn't want a heavier stick and grabbed the Madcatz TE2 stick.

Thanks ill look into it, what about this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fFCZDb9MBCYRF .Is that a good stick?

I got one of these compatible with PS3, PS4 and PC and at a good price.

Yes the pcb tend to be faulty at some point. Mine still good after 1 year+. There is no rma with mad catz.

But for this price you can still replace the dead pcb with a brook or w/e else and it's still a good deal tbh.

Or you can maybe try to get the Hori Arcade Pro 4 Kai
It's cheaper but no sanwa and still a great stick

The panthera is 180+ £ and don't seem to be found on amazon.uk

But for me the tier list would be :

Razer panthera; Quanba obsidian; TE2+ and then Hori

I got this instead.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PS4/dp/B00RZ7T8N6

Also there is a 30€ reduction (120 instead of 150) in Europe :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Weirdly enough the mayflash was in the list when I searched that. Though on that list is this which I might go for

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504276102&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hori+real+arcade+pro+4+kai+for+playstation+4+playstation+3+and+pc&dpPl=1&dpID=51rmo6JK49L&ref=plSrch

Is this a good choice for a first fight stick?

I heard it's high end and has a price reduction in Europe so it's very manageable for me.

Grab a Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai -
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai-PlayStation/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485751635&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+arcade+stick

Compatible with PS3 / PS4 / PC. Should be around ~$220 delivered. The only difference between this and a (far more expensive) MadCatz stick is it uses Hori's 'Hayabusa' buttons/stick, which feel slightly different to the Sanwa buttons/stick used by MadCatz. Purists will tell you 'Sanwa or nothing', but I can tell you honestly from 7 years of playing SF4 using Sanwa sticks to using this Hori stick for SF5, the difference is negligible. The good thing is you can easily swap the stick and buttons out for Sanwa parts if you really, really must have a Sanwa setup.

Would recommend 100%.

I have the HORI RAP4 Kai. It definitely does the job for me and is cheaper than the TE2. I did change out the buttons for Sanwas but I definitely didn't NEED to as the buttons it came with where fine.

thanks for a quick response on such an old thread, I decided to settle on this As a current gen one, I'm hoping it works with PC/Guilty Gear or I'm going to be pretty sad

Probably this if you're planning on playing SFV.

It doesn't really matter what you use though as long as you feel comfortable with it. nuckledu does really well with a regular DualShock and luffy took 1st place at EVO for USFIV with a PS1 pad

I mean I’ve been using the Xbox One pad for years so, if you really want to get into it a stick would be good, Hori makes a good ones, and they also make good pads, so it is really up to you, though never think that what you use hinders your ability and skill, it’s all preference. I did some of the hardest loops/combos in Marvel on a Xbox 360 controller.

Though here some recommendations:

Stick

Pad

You could also look into Qanba stuff, you could go cheaper for fight sticks but the parts (buttons,stick) won’t be as high quality.

Depends on the button sizes you use, if you go with those 52mm buttons you could probably hack a Hori, just replace the top panel and reuse all the wiring and electronics. Probably cheaper in the long run. . . Don't think the arcade's 100mm buttons would fit in most off the shelf arcade sticks.

Check out these projects if you haven't already (Tomtortoise even has an instructable):

Tomtortoise

Fatso666

finonymouse

That is a slightly upgraded version with quieter buttons and stick. Never tried it so can't tell you if it's worth the extra 30 for that alone.

Here's the 150$ version: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

I've only really had experience with a couple of Hori sticks and the latest Madcatz te, as well as some custom ones I modded. You have a lot more options on PC, but as for quality I'm not really sure. I know there are some Qanba PC sticks for around $80, but I can't vouch for the quality, although the ratings are pretty good on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXPIO1S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_YWr7wbJ230K0F)

The buttons and stick might not be of the greatest quality, but it's a good start and I assume some of the high ratings come from being [easy to mod] (https://youtu.be/FllbddE4zes) but for that you'd need to buy new buttons and new stick.


If I were in your position, I'd opt for getting something of decent quality now with the intent to mod it later when you really get a feel for using a stick and get your execution down. And if I didn't want to mod, I'd wait a bit longer or mow a couple lawns and opt for a nice [Hori] [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_y8r7wb9MQ71NQ) or a better quality [Qanba] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SGGLZW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_39r7wb7K0TS7Y)
Either way, there's still a learning curve when switching peripherals so keep that in mind

So, I'm going to be trying to get into the game and having been looking into picking up a Hori Real Arcade Pro (Unless there's a better choice around that price range). I'm going to be playing on PC and was just wondering how setting that up with the drivers and everything will be. I'm really excited to be joining the SF community, I've always watched with interest from the Smash Bros side of venues and figured now would be a good time to bridge the gap and try it out! I'm also lucky to have a few friends who are willing to teach me the game and hopefully be practice partners as I learn the ins-and-outs of true 2D fighters.

Similar except for the layout/placement of the buttons.

The Rap 4 uses a Vewlix layout with the start/options button directly to the right of the buttons and is the cheaper of the two

​

The RAP N uses the Namco Noir layout, is slightly smaller and has the start button in a little compartment to the upper right of the buttons and is slightly more expensive

Hori Rap4
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4?th=1

You'd need to find something that's PS4 and PC compatible, then it should work.

For $150, it doesn't get much better than the HORI Real Arcade Pro

I love this one:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

I just pulled the trigger on the HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3:

http://www.amazon.ca/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453223414&sr=8-1&keywords=Hori+Real+Arcade+Pro+4

To top things off, Amazon offered me free trial Prime for 2-day shipping, so I should be getting this within 2 days or so.

Here's my rationale behind getting this stick:

• good reviews, only negative point was not much palm rest room
  
• works between PS3/PS4. Meaning that when I plug into my PC, I'll leave it on PS3 mode and dxinput will just work(which is crucial for SF V operation and not needing to fiddle with 3rd party keyboard mappers)
  
• Since it works on PS4, in the off-chance I bring it to a PS4 console, I am not worried(though I just need to remember to switch it to PS4 mode).
  
  Soon as this thing arrives, I will quickly pre-order SF V on Steam, and hopefully get beta access, and test this sucker.

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1449742361&sr=1-2&keywords=arcade+stick
It works on ps3, ps4 and pc and its $115. I heard pretty good things about this sick and just bought one today.

I played on a pad but made the switch to an arcade stick about 8 years ago? I had only been playing fighters for a year on a pad at that point and it was a pretty difficult switch. Took me at least a couple months but personally I feel playing on a stick is a lot more fun!

That said, the cheapest option for a fight stick right now would be the HRAP4. You don't have to buy a stick any cheaper than this because they're really bad and not worth it.

you can buy this and use your keyboard https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-KeyMander-Keyboard-Adapter-GE1337P/dp/B00GBK434M

or buy a mixbox https://www.mixboxarcade.com/

or buy a second hand joystick

the cheapest i would go for a joystick is this https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=rap%2B4%2Bjoystick&qid=1572109846&sr=8-1&th=1

I'm thinking about getting a fight stick, but should I wait until there are more ps4 options? Right now there seems to be only one fight stick on sale that works with ps4 and pc. Should I get this, or just buy a xbox/ps3 one and wait for more options?

So, if I may pick your brain a little more, what is this difference between this and this ? Mainly, is the price gap worth it?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00SULMRI4/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

it says on description that it has Hayabusa stick but kuro buttons but as u scroll down to the image below, it says its both hayabusa stick and buttons, also if you look on the product image of the box, it says kuro buttons, i'm so lost right now. XD

I just want a stick that works on PC and that i can bring to tournaments. If the Quanba didn't work i was looking at the new HORI one What do you think?

Here's one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SULMRI4

So you use Joy2Key for that? You could use that Mayflash adapter so that you dont need sofware.

I use the Wii Classic (non pro version) and the only other controller I tried that I like (I bought like 5 or more, no joke) is the Hori Commander 4 (http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8).

This one is plug and play with no adapter (but you cant taunt unfortunately, unless BMG allows us to bind taunts to buttons). So I might switch to this one soon cuz it does feel more responsive than my Wii Classic (I think the adapter adds a bit of delay).

Edit: Also, it works on PS4 so once Brawlhalla hits PS4 and there are lan tourneys using the PS4, we ready son. lol

It is not skinned with any MKX art. It is just like this, http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

any feedback/reviews on the hori controller pad 4, they actually on sale right now on amazon ($30 instead of 45), i may take one as a spare controller

http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

Something like this PS3/4 controller should work for you.

HORI Fighting Commander 4 Controller for PlayStation 4/3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4i9BxbW1P79Q5

HORI Fighting Commander

Mortal Kombat X Pad

PDP Versus (this one isn't actually that good, but it's cheap and easily replaced)

Pad options are fairly limited. You can also just stick with an Xbone/360 pad, which work just as well.

I'm confused. Is that one not the same as the one that came before the Commander 4? This one? I've had this thing for years.

As far as thumb blisters:
This is normal for most people, you will develop callouses, then it won't be an issue anymore. Some inputs literally require blistering speed; Walking 720's are notorious for this.

Wrist or thumb joint Pain shouldn't happen. If it is, then you are gripping the controller too tightly (wrist), or pressing down too hard (thumb-joint). If you still have problems, consider picking up the hori FC4 (http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8) - It lets you unlock the dpad and rotate it in place up to 20 degrees. With around 12 degrees of rotation it brings the vertical axis of the d-pad into perfect alignment with the handle and transforms into the most comfortable gamepad I have ever held. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter how hard you gripped it at that point, you shouldn't get any wrist pain.

I have the PS4 FC4 coupled with a Brook converter. The FC4 allows changing the orientation degree of the D-pad which is awesome to enhance directional comfort. Will this Xbox FC version include the same feature? I see it is also missing the extended left palm rest which is also really comfortable.

"This pad is a pure performer with the industry's best D-Pad" - uh we'll see about that...

IMO this is the best fight pad to date; great build quality and useful features: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1486249887&sr=1-4&keywords=HORI+Fighting+Commander

Has anyone used a Hori Fighting Commander? I'm thinking about buying one. I'm also really into Tekken recently and dashing on a stick is fucking hard, so I'd be using it there too

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8

the only problem I see with the hori fighting commander is that it only has two shoulder buttons. as far as I understand, these shoulder buttons act as a modifier for your front facing buttons. will it be an issue that I only have two modifier options?

I'd effectively have 6x3=18 buttons, whereas a standard pad I'd have 4x5=20 buttons

I bought a Hori Fighting Commander 4
( http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00 )

is this the same you have or is this an older one? I should get it delivered tomorrow, would be great if it had an X-input switch but I can find nothing about it on the site.

I haven't tried it myself, but the Hori Fighting Commander 4 has a more ergonomic grip. But I also hear issues about dpad due to it being adjustable.

1. Steam Controller - might be able to maintain some continuity in letting you play mouse-needed games from a controller, but otherwise is a pretty good hybrid that will work for everything and has robust support through Steam, and totally customizable configurations on a per game basis. Also if you have a modern Samsung UHD tv, the Steam Link beta is free (works wonderfully) and the Steam Controller is one of the two controller types it currently supports. $49.99, includes everything needed. http://store.steampowered.com/app/353370/Steam_Controller/
   
   
2. Xbox 360 Controller - Will work on basically every game, but some games - even those with 360 pad support - will be retarded and not recognize it, like Dead Rising 2 Off the Record. Not much to say, it's a great controller. You have to buy the wireless dongle separately, it's usually like $30 for the dongle and at this point I'd say $30 or $40 for the controller. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller-Glossy-Black/dp/B003ZSP0WW/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1503597208&sr=1-3&keywords=xbox+360+controller
   
   
3. Xbox One Controller - better than the 360 controller, but, despite natively having drivers in Windows 8 and 10, it has a lot of driver related problems. Does not include accessories - if you have an S type or newer controller, they have Bluetooth support. You can only pair one XB1 controller via Blue Tooth at a time to your PC. Wireless adapter accessory is somewhat unreliable - it may not ever work for you, period, might work fine. Controller - $40 if lucky to $70+. I have 3, got one for free, one with console, paid $60 or so for my Gears 4 limited ed version. Also the battery life is kind of terrible, I'd say 30 hours if you're lucky. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-White/dp/B01GW3H3U8/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1503597180&sr=1-5&keywords=xbox+one+controller
   
   
4. Dual Shock 4 - I have no experience whatsoever with this controller on PC but it does require a separate adapter for wireless. Personally I don't like the feel of it, it's too lightweight when I have used it and the sensor bar seems pointless. It seems like it's probably solid though. https://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Black-4/dp/B00BGA9X9W
   
   
5. Logitech F310 - Wired but absolutely solid controller, no input delay. The layout is PS2 Dual Shock 2, with Xbox face buttons and PS2 style sticks, but the actual thumbgrips are more like XB360 if I remember right. D-pad is one solid piece like the 360 controller. It will work with literally everything, flawlessly, except games that have hardcoded controls like KOF98 / 2000 etc. The only annoying thing is the xinput/directinput switch is in the place where you would expect the Select button to be on a Dual Shock 2, and the select / start are above that. This can often lead to you changing the input on accident, which will basically screw you in any third person game because both camera and character control will stop working. Also the back of the controller is more angled than the DualShock 2. You should be able to grab one for cheap - they've been around for at least 6 years. Despite the 1 piece d-pad I actually think it does fairly well for fighting games, too. It's well made and can survive a lot of abuse. I've dropped mine, stood on it, dropped it, tossed it, thrown it, yanked it from the USB port on purpose and on accident, and it's in perfect shape still 6 years later. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/f310-gamepad
   
   
6. Logitech F710 - everything above but wireless, maybe a slight input delay, and it also has a vibration switch across from the input select. Different color, 2.4ghz band. $50 http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/f710-wireless-gamepad
   
   I personally would recommend the F310, if near the PC but the cord is not very long, so more likely the F710, or the 360 controller. I like the XB1 controller but it's battery life is simply unacceptable, and I don't use it enough that I'm willing to consider the sync problems acceptable when I do.
   

This should make a decent replacement: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BGA9X9W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1393992865&sr=8-1

You can get it for $50.95 at a different place through Amazon

what about this one?

This is what I use https://www.amazon.co.uk/PS4-Real-Arcade-Pro-Kai/dp/B00RZ7T8N6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=hori+rap+4&qid=1556421599&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I've had it for about a year and half and it's working as good as the day I got it. Pretty solid stick if you want a nice one but don't want to regret it later haha

​

I will say that,minus Falke seeing requires remapping for a pad,nobody really needs a stick.

It sounds like you are suffering from atopic dermatitis. Try moderate exposure to sunlight. It isn’t completely clear why sun exposure helps atopic dermatitis, but most likely vit D plays a role. Your body makes vit D when exposed to sunlight. The vit D also influences the production of some proteins that your body uses to stave off infections.

And FWIW I have sweaty hands too. They won't stop you from sweating, but the KontrolFreek Grips help me have a better and more comfortable grip.

Not sure if it is good but you could try the Hori Fighting Stick Mini 4 its only 40 dollars so if it sucks no real harm.

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Stick-Mini-PlayStation-4/dp/B014KXMEW4

this is also "entry level"

https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Stick-Mini-PlayStation-4/dp/B014KXMEW4

dosen't mean you should buy it

Really if you're looking for something entry level, you can give the Hori Mini a shot. It'll run you about $40 and gives you a cheap taste of whether or not you'll like playing with stick.

I've got a friend who used it and liked it, though he did complain after a little while the joystick started to feel junky, though that could've just been his particular model. Sticks are great, and personally I find them more comfortable, but I figure if you're used to pad you probably won't want to jump right in with a pricey one.

Because we're just better than everyone else, of course ;)
But seriously, not sure why it says that on Amazon, you can totally buy the controller in other countries too
