Fighting Stick Alpha

Genuinely, are you trying to ragebait? Lol. If on the off chance you're not, I'll list each individual arcade stick listed in BrinoMatthew's link and show how you can open up the controller so that you have all the knowledge you need on which stick to purchase.

Diamond 1 on pad is already solid, so I wouldn’t assume you’re losing just because other people are on stick. A fight stick can be more fun and make motions feel more natural for some people, but there’s still a learning curve. For PS5 beginner options I’d mainly look at Qanba Drone 2 or Hori Fighti

There's a good selection for current gen but you gotta remember that retail/officially licensed peripherals are usually one console (and backwards compatible) + PC in terms of compatibility.

My Hori fighting stick alpha has eight 30mm Seimitsu PS-14-KN and two 24mm Seimitsu PS-14-DNK (the option buttons) installed. It's close, but they fit. I don't think there is a screw-in version of PS-15.

Also, I was completely focused on ps3/ps4 writing that, theres also the Hori Fight Stick Alpha which is the newest and works on ps5 as well (not sure about ps3 thats why I didn't bring it up) which is under $200 and I have an SF6 edition I would definitely recommend (I did have to change the stick p
