Was looking around to see what stick I'd want as my first fight stick, decided to go with this and see how it would work for me.



I use this fight stick on PC. Drivers are available at the mad catz website.



Appearance - The overall appearance of the entire thing is pretty nice, the plastic doesn't look in any way cheap or flimsy. Feels strong and looks clean. Very easy to open up, dont need to unscrew anything to get a look inside of it so it's very easy to swap any components out if you'd desire. Some reviewers were/are reporting some part of it to creek/squeak(?) Mine doesnt have this issue. The bottom part of the the entire "pad" has material that will keep it from slipping around on tables or most surfaces.



Stick and buttons - Both the stick and buttons feel pretty good ALTHOUGH I will say that I wish the buttons had a bit more of a -clicky- feel to it in that... I wish I could feel them "click" every time I pushed down on them. They're fine the way they are but I'm very certain I will swap them out later on down the road. Stick feels good, although it comes with a square gate, thought it came with an octagonal one but I'll just learn how to play it with the square.



Art - What's there to say about this? It's the official Ryu Capcom art, it's nice, easy to swap out.



Weight - It's a lot heavier than I thought but it's not heavy enough that you'd say it'll be annoying to have in your lap for an extended period of time. You certainly wont have it slipping out of your lap either.



Once again to make it clear, this is my first fight stick, I am no professional and am merely a casual player. Decided to get it for the sake of wanting to have one and learn it. I can certainly pull off moves I otherwise was unable to with a controller. First day, no issues. I'll update it later on and see how things continue to go for me.
