I currently own a dual tankstick, which is what got me into the hobby. I bought it before i knew of BYOAC or the mame community in general. But i'm currently building a custom CP to replace it. PROS: * USB, PS2 connectivity and console adapters if you wish * The encoder is programmable its quite nice * Its nice and heavy * Build quality is damn good * None of the components have failed, i have given it a real hard beating, plus it was second hand when i got it * You dont have to build it yourself CONS: * I hate the joysticks - Large throw, large deadzone, spongy feel and no restrictor plates, they just suck in general * Button layout is not very ergonomic * I dont like the big 'X-Arcade' logo * The buttons sound cheap when you press them * Its kind of expensive compared to other options * you dont get to build it yourself * The parts arn't Japanese, nor even industry standard HAPP To conclude i would say that for fighters this stick sucks, its just not precise enough so if you play a lot of street fighter like myself then get something with sanwa/seimitsu sticks straight up. On the other hand, its a well built reliable stick if you dont need the precision required for fighters. Mine will probably be recycled into a cocktail or classics cab in the future... |
