i bought one already, waiting for it to arrive

 

wow nice one but I'm afraid I don't have much money to spend atm.. but I'll make an bookmark of it hehe

 

it might be gone soon... last time they had wipeout for psp for only 25usd or so and it dissapeared in like 2 days :S

 

oo man they have Sega Saturn Style Control Pad ( gold) like
Prototyper of saturn gold

 

Yeah they have some nice deals on Play-Aisa like an import CVS2 for the GC for like $9.90 and they offered it together with the Free Loader for like $25 something total. I was really thinking about getting it although I didn't have the money and eventually the game was gone. You just have to look and the sweet deals do show up there.

 

ooooh!! I want.

But first, can someone confirm if the buttons on this stick are microswitched?
I have the Sega Dreamcast Arcade stick and while I do like it a lot, I wish the buttons were microswitched like they usually are on an arcade cab. They feel kind of mushy as they are.

 

i ordered it yesterday, they already shipped it should be here in about 4days, i'll tell ya how it feels. "not that kind of feeling...."


btw: dont ya think it would be a good idea if some1 makes a section were we can post links of really cheap and good stuff like this stick?

 

Awesome!
Looking forward to your review.
If the buttons are mushy like the DC stick, then I'll probably just seek something else out.

 

That is a very cool stick but I doubt I'd ever use it. I own the saturn original and Dreamcast one. Both have great sticks but the buttons are those shitty types just like control pads. So I changed the ones on my Saturn stick to nice cherry switch style buttons. click, clickity, click

Oh damn.
Is this Saturn Virtua stick relatively easy to mod then? I may have a few Sanwa-style buttons and microswitches laying around. There's sometimes an issue with the available height in the enclosure in which to mount them.

 

Can This be used with the Xbox with a quick joining of the cables?

 

i dont really know, since the xbox uses usb... i really dont know, i got it just for mame

 

theyve got the same deal on xbox arcade sticks, and i want 2!
(shipping kills the deal tho)

 

That xbox stick is not made by sega, is 3rd party and i've heard is crap "has always been 29.99"

 

Well, it sortof uses USB. The interface is USB, but in the controller connector there's an extra wire for power to the rumble motor/memory card port.

And speaking of joysticks, can anyone tell me if the Sanwa joysticks make a clicking noise like the Happ-style ones do?

 

I owned the original SS version of this stick and, compared with a Sawna-parts arcade controller (or even with the two-players Virtua Stick Pro, which I bought later), was poor. It's not just a problem with the stick and buttons, which, as I said, are far from the Sanwa quality, but also for the light, 'void' base where they're mounted.

More or less. The L-base Sanwa buttons are "clicky". The standard Sanwa ones aren't.
