Finally decide to get a fight stick

I have one, and as others said, it is a great controller to start. It is very easy to mod, tho there is really no need in regards to buttons. They are good, only a bit loud.

Pro Controller Cope

Jerome here, I'm the one who started the debate with Lucky on Twitter. While I'm not super informed about the LodgeNet controller I do know the V2 stick is another POT based stick. Every single one of these style sticks, regardless what tech they use, do not have the same stick throw and pivot point

Hori Mini - good first arcade stick?

If you play on PC I recommend getting a Mayflash F300 or 8Bitdo Arcade stick - they can work on a PS5 too but you'd need an adapter. The Qanba Drone 2 is another good starter stick but it's a little more expensive and has native PS5 support. The Hori mini is not the worst thing ever but if you'll en
