Yeah, this is the one I've got, 30 quid and it does the job. Only up to 27" inch though which is the monitor I'm using - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0765Y4CT5/

I never, ever rotate my monitor though, I gotta tell you. My rooms quite small and I can only push my chair back so far and playing a vert on a 27" monitor in landscape is plenty big enough for me.

I always wanted to try tate out, but it felt more like a fun novelty to me than something that was essential.

If you've got a bigger room and a smaller tv/monitor, it could make all the difference, but that was my experience.

This seems like not a whole lot for 3000 yen more. I'll probably go with the standard edition. I'm happy it didn't ended up the same way as the Battle Garegga limited edition with only the download code.

EDIT: It's up for pre-order on Amazon.co.jp, the cover looks awesome.

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

Thanks! My main stick for the past six months has been a Qanba Q2 Pro Blackout that I got from Arcade Shock. So far it's performed flawlessly and has stood up to all the abuse I've put it through. In a somewhat ironic twist for a stick called Blackout, the buttons and joystick all actually light up with blue LEDs. I really like the roundness of the front edge in particular on that stick too, I find it a lot more comfortable to use than most of the other sticks I've tried.

EDIT: If you're looking to buy an arcade stick right now-ish, it's pretty hard to go wrong with this Madcatz deal. I've got a slightly different version of the Fightstick PRO and I can say from firsthand experience that it's a top quality piece of equipment.

Crazy Budget? Hori VLX 360 and change the joystick lever to a Seimitsu LS-56-01. Hopefully you won't need to spend $500 for one.

Other than that, for $150 and tax, I would probably get the Hori arcade pro V since it works on Xbox 360, Xbone and PC.

Personally I use PS4, but it ain't cheap and simple ;)

I highly recommend using a stylus for phone gaming. Get yourself a mesh tip stylus - I can vouch for the quality of this product, but there are 'higher end' stylus' out there. I've been using my set for a few years now, swapping to a new one only when I permanently misplace one :P

i used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JS2B4VE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It may be available in the UK

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.
