Expensive? Yes, but that's why you're paying for quality and this is a VERY high quality arcade joystick. Comparing the Pearl to my newest joystick, the HORI RAP Noir, it's pretty obvious that the Qanba Pearl is the best platform overall. With better material and layout (HORI is just a plastic box with a heavy metal bottom) it feels much stronger, longer and shorter so it sits comfortably on your lap without squeezing your legs. , and like HORI, everything is easy to set up. Works straight…
