Drone 2

200 dollars for a stick with with the only defining features being that it is somewhat thin, wireless and ps5 compatible, essentially a middle point beetween a 60 dollar hori mini stick and a full sized stick with the price of the full sized one I don't understand who would want to buy a 200 dollar

A good first arcade stick would be something like a Qanba Drone or Qanba Drone 2. They're already very lightweight (about 1.25kg), which can be problematic to play at the highest level, so that Hori Mini would be even worse in that regard. And even if you just want to play casually, a Drone/Drone 2
