X-Arcade
acvieluf:
Along the same lines, i'd like to know what you tank stick owners think of the trackball? Is it good? Last time i asked someone, they just said: EVERYTHING XARCADE MAKES IS THE WORST CRAP, NO MATTER WHAT. (I'm paraphrasing)
But when it comes to trackballs, there are no lowER cost options outside of x-arcade and REALLY bad eBay crap (with no rollers or anything.)
What does everyone think?

I think its a decent one. Good weighty feeling, rolls fairly smoothly. Mine is about 8 years old with no signs of problems thus far. It gets used moderately, but has survived at least a couple dozen games of Golden Tee - which is the ultimate workout for a trackball :)

8 years? Nice! Although, I want it primarily for golden tee, haha! But I'm sold. Thanks for the input.

I have just about every adapter made for the xarcade, and some custom interfaces that was given to test out. As you can imagine, I have nearly every console to date that is operational, all keyed into one huge 9 pin serial switchbox. I also have the solo and tankstick models. Everything works flawless, even the USB version. I replaced the microswitches but that was the only mod.
For all the other console controllers, i use in conjunction with xarcade interfaces such as the xbox360, especially driving wheels, or flight joysticks, is the cronus Max. There is some additional mapping for deadzone with joys and wheels with cronus, but none are required for the xarcade interfaces.
I would look at getting a Cronus Max to extend your current xarcade adapters with the ps4, wiiU and Xbox one. The xbox360 interface (which plugs into a psx interface) with the cronus plays Xbox one games perfectly with the xarcade joystick controllers.

IF you want to be upping your fighting game with an arcade stick they are the bottom of the barrel. I went the cheap route got the two players button and stick set and then got a cheap encoder from else where

What was the reason for not sticking (no pun intended) with the original X-Arcade encoder?
