Haute42 vs 8bitdo, are they good quality? Which one is better?
I'm going for the "cheap" ones because spending 100 or more on a controller feels completely insane especially for how bad I suck at this games There's a bit to unpack here but I just wanted to add a couple things to think about. 1.not saying this is a huge driver of the thought process but don't le

Fightpad recommendations
From your list I've tried the retrobit Saturn Controller (wireless) and the 8bitdo arcade stick. 8bitdo Stick is a much higher quality product and the convenience of wireless is great for couch sessions or guest setups. Downside is it's a bit harder to mod yourself but people have done it and there

8BitDo Square Gate Skipping All Diagonals
I have the 8bitdo Arcade stick and used the default square gate for a while and didn't notice any problems. However I ended up swapping it for a JLF down the line because the lever felt cheap to me. I strongly believe that this is more of a muscle memory issue than a square gate issue (that's gonna

Arcade Stick for NEO•GEO and Arcade Games
8bitdo's arcade stick is considered pretty good. I have the original that was just a rebranded Mayflash arcade stick, and even it's pretty damn good, and the v2 is supposedly quite a bit better.

Is this a good figthstick for a beginner?
Nope. Get a Mayflash or the 8bitdo Arcade stick. They are cheap and can be easily modded with more quality parts

What's the actual best leverless right now?
I have a fun collection. Corsair Novablade is next tier to the rest with hall effect buttons. The impact is when you press down it reacts, and when you lift your finger it turns off. You can also set the thresholds, but it's the only controller that can do button press based on direction and not jus

Arcade Joystick 🕹️
I just received my MiSTer Multisystem2, week before last, and pulled the trigger on the 8bitdo Arcade Stick--it seemed like a straightforward match for what I was looking for from a reputable company--and it arrived about a week ago. Unfortunately I haven't been impressed--while I suspect it works w

Smaller fight stick to get?
If you prefer wireless, and don’t mind clone parts, the 8Bitdo arcade stick is an option, and is usually on sale.

Upgrading from 8bitdo arcade stick to hori alpa/victrix?
I actually really like my 8bitdo arcade stick. Yes the body size is small but it was pretty decent to me when I started it as my first stick. I don’t really want a used stick coz I kept thinking about the sweaty hands lol. I think I might get Hori alpha, the price, size, button placement are pretty
