Great arcade stick. It's lighter than Madcatz, but that doesn't bother me. If you've never used the Sanwa/Seimitsu keys, you'll love them. I've changed mine and prefer Sanwa a bit. They feel a bit softer in comparison, although I think the Kuro keys work great on their own and there weren't any typos when using them, the Sanwas just felt better. The Hayabusa Stick, on the other hand, is great. A week later I took the stick apart to try the Seimitsu ls-56 and the quality of the Hayabusa grip is much better than the cheap feel of the ls 56. It has a thicker plate and is easier to move and click activate. . That being said I prefer the short forward movement of the ls 56 to activate and follow, dashes are much easier in games like Street Fighter but for shmaps or anything else with a slower movement speed the Hayabusa is an amazing joystick. I hope they come out with versions of the model that feel more like a Seimitsu stick than a Sanwa so I can replace my squeaky ls-56. I can't deduct a star for these reasons as preference matters and joystick tuning is part of that. I wish I didn't have to void my warranty, but that's understandable and doesn't bother Hori. Shown with 6 Sanwa buttons, ls-56 stick and purple cap/washer.
