did not work in accessories

I bought this to play Street Fighter PS4 games. It did not work. I couldn't easily do special moves, so I brought it back. This can be put to good use when it is very immobile on the stand.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • The list will be long.

This product is perfect for those who don't want to buy a fighting stick for hundreds of dollars. I would recommend this for beginners/newbies looking to transition from playing on a controller to an arcade style game. Buttons and joystick (4 corners) move smoothly.

Pros
  • Positive Only
Cons
  • Expensive

The joystick is glued on when delivered.

When unpacking, the joystick got stuck in the left position (characters in Street Fighter V always moved to the left). I disassembled the joystick and even after I unplugged the joystick and unplugged the 5-pin harness it still registered, so the problem was with the circuit board. This might just be an issue with my stick but it was brand new and sealed so be careful with the buyer.

Pros
  • cool article
Cons
  • Secret

For $40 it's not bad but I'm sure there are better ones out there.

For $40 it's not that bad, but I'm a little shocked at how much the Mad Catz components degrade over time. Inexpensive Mad Catz sticks tend to break easily and usually feel subpar compared to their Tournament Edition sticks in my experience, but the feel of the detail is actually a SIGNIFICANT improvement over the original Standard Edition Street Fighter IV sticks, which they released in 2009. The resistance of the stick varies depending on the direction, with the greatest difference being…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Nothing
