Best Mini Stick

Due to its small size this fighting stick is impressive, don't let the mini shape fool you. I don't play fighters too seriously so I wasn't looking for a quality player's racquet. Use it even though you originally used it. The buttons are full-size, and I personally never use more than 6 buttons, so you'd rather do without the two extra-large sticks. I have medium-sized hands, so I've never felt like I didn't have room to use the joystick effectively. I just can't stretch until I get used to the size. I mainly used this in Street Fighter 5 on PC. and found no functional problems. A dozen hours later, the buttons are still responsive, while the joystick is sometimes not always responsive. Maybe I'm still getting used to the game or I'm panicking about a game I'm just typing wrong. I find it's best to place the controller on a pillow in your lap or squeeze it between your knees, you just have to find something that works. While the standard keys still felt passable for casual gaming, I decided to upgrade everything. I installed all the buttons and the Sanwa joystick. This required some extra work, but still wasn't overly complex. To keep things simple I just cut the existing wire and crimped and reconnected the quick connectors, no soldering, all for less than $40. All in all I'm happy with this joystick for arcade games, shmaps and fighting games even if I haven't set it up. . If you have big hands or are serious about fighter jets I would recommend the more expensive models, otherwise give this one a fair shot.
