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

Don't get the hori mini! It's so small you will be disheartened from fight stick all together if that would be your first experience. Try to find hori rap 4 used, it should be similar price if not cheaper, I got it for 70$

TBH the main thing is that swapping Fighting Game controllers will always make it feel like you've forgotten literally everything at first, i've gone from pad to stick to hitbox to pad over the time i've been into fighting games, and that process of feeling like nothing carried over at first happene

So, years ago I was in the exact same position as you. At the time, my choices for a cheap arcade stick were either the HORI Fighting Stick Mini, or the Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Alpha. I ended up buying the HORI Fighting Stick Mini as my first stick, since it had more buttons than the Alpha. It wa

I'm very curious what they will price it as, because the construction looks like the cheapest sticks you can buy, like the hori fighting stick mini. So it doesn't look like it should be expensive but then who knows. It could be a $40 stick marked up to $100 or $300. Not to say it will be bad or anyt

There are some budget arcade sticks I'm aware of: Hori fighting stick mini, Mayflash F500, 8bitdo arcade stick. I'm not sure how easy they are to mod but they should be decent for under $100. You can try it out and see if you like it. I love them for shmups and fighting games. Definitely check out s

Also adding on to this, because it matches my experience: there's a lot more leverless options in the budget and midrange price brackets. Outside the hori mini, getting a stick is really expensive, but you have tons of options for leverless.
