Looking for a reasonably priced stick for my disabled son to play games on PS3.  Thanks!  Arcadiac!

define reasonable. and i would suggest you contact ben heck. he is well known in the modding community and has made controls for disabled people before. if he just needs a normal stick you could always make one or buy one for under 150.00

Thanks for your suggestion, by reasonable I mean well under $150.  In past he has done well with SF type Hori sticks, I just found a Hori mini 3 ofr PS3 on ebay for $20 shipped.  It will probably be a bit small for his needs so I would still be in the market for a larger version, SF, Injustice, the likes of those, wired or wireless.  Thanks again.
Arcadiac!

You could always take the guts of that stick a build a bigger box for it to suit his needs. since you are only needing a stick you should be able to use just a single sheet of 1/2 to 3/4 MDf 2x4 then use the guts of the SF hori.

Arcadiac - Have you thought of building one to your sons needs?  I think he would really be greatful if it came from you.  You can build it to his specifications.  Also Le Chuck did something similar about a year ago.  It can be found here.
