The 8Bitdo Arcade Stick, the follow-up to the N30 Arcade Stick, tops its predecessor in almost every way.

Pretty decent sticky but I do wish it came with an option for an 8 way gate instead of a square one. As a Sony-licensed product, the Qanba N3 Drone Joystick meets the highest quality standards and guarantees an exceptional gaming experience. It's made from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, features high-quality Sanwa Denshi buttons, measures 2. Shout out to Maximilian Dood who said this was a good starting point for people who want to get into arcade stick and I’m very happy with my arcade stick!Opening it up voids the warranty though and it feels like it could be closed with a clasp/hinge instead of screws to make this easier.

A new style of fight stick, the "all-button" or "leverless" stick has made inroads in recent years thanks to the rise of the Hit Box (see below).I believe this was due to an issue with XINPUT, which worked for Xbox, and DINPUT, which was intended for Sony.
