Drone 2

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. Because of the growing trend of leverless/all button styled controllers, it's pretty split to even selection

If you're in the US, you might as well buy the Qanba Titan for $150 on Amazon.com: Licensed product with PS4, PS5 and PC modes. Overall one of the best arcade sticks for its price if you don't mind no visual customization options. Better package over the Qanba Drone 2 due to it's proper case size fo

I agree, I got the Qanba Drone 2 and my first stick and even that was almost too lightweight for me. I quickly realized I like a heavier setup for an arcade stick, the Titan was what felt the best to me and it's probably my favorite stick ever. Mayflash f700 would be my rec if you need wireless. I t

The Qanba Drone 2 is fine, if you live in the US, I would recommend it's more robust brother, the Qanba Titan for numerous reasons: - Qanba Drone 2 on Amazon is $100, adding $50 for the Titan is a better deal. - Qanba Drone 2 is fine on the desk play but if you're an averaged sized person, on the la

Hard call, I have had both the FSVX and RAP.VX-SA but ultimately kept the RAP.VX because it was wider with a cord compartment. The FSV3/VX is probably my favorite small form factor arcade stick compared to every other small stick on the market (EXARPRIZE arcade stick, MadCatz SFV Alpha FightStick an

Unfortunately decent fight sticks do not get much cheaper than ~$100 USD but the 8bitdo is right there at about $90, mayflash 300/500 are like $60/$80 respective, Qanba drone 2 is $90, and hell even Hori had the mini for like $50. Though tbh idk if I could honestly recommend the drone or mini in goo

8bitdo if you dont want to search and hunt and patiently find one. Used would be you next bet. Mayflash f500 but would try to get a f700 that is compatible with your console. If your on pc f500 is perfectly suitable. They are heavier than other entry level sticks like the qanba drone 2. But are full

What I look for in sticks is the ability to update for use on future consoles. This is why I like the Mayflash F500. The auxiliary buttons are on a daughter board and simple (for me) to integrate into new mother boards. This means when the next gen of consoles are released, I'll be able to install a

I'm not the biggest expert in prebuilds since I built my own. I have 2 friends with 8bitdos and 1 who had both a Mayflash f500 and Qanba Drone 2. All of which are entry sticks with offbrand parts. While I personally started on a Hitbox which costed me an arm and a leg but use sanwa parts. Mayflash o

Are you in the US? The Nacon Daija for PS4/PS5/PC is on sale for $175 from Amazon. Probably the best deal for a feature rich arcade stick that's officially licensed: Pretty much similar to Razer Panthera in form factor (top lid clamshell design). Sanwa parts, lots of space for a low collar Korean le
