Product Description

Amazon.com Review
When hit games are ported from their bigger arcade cousins to a home console system, one factor that usually leaves the player wanting more is the control mechanism. Thankfully, with the ShadowBlade Arcade Stick, that element won't be an issue.

This stick is very durable and very professional. The aluminum body, sturdy joystick, and button configuration were designed for fast-action PlayStation2 gaming in mind.

This durable controller features an autofiring option, as well as great button placement for large and small hands alike. It also comes with a cord spindle in the base of the ShadowBlade, to keep things neat and tidy.

This controller accessory is compatible also with the PS One. --Todd Mowatt

1.0 out of 5 stars possibly the worst stick I've ever used, December 19, 2002

By	Matt Greer (West Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

On a whim and a touch of desperation I picked this up at a local shop, being the only stick I could find in town. I really regret doing so because it's just awful. "Mush" describes it well, mushy buttons, mushy stick, just mushy. This is due to the fact that everything on the stick is capable of operating in analog mode (why? this is an arcade stick for crying out loud!). Because of this, response time is greatly reduced in fighters and you've got to really throw the stick through its entire range before it will register.

If you've ever used a nice stick like the ASCII FT (even the Agetech DC stick) or any of Happ's sticks in an arcade for any length of time, avoid this thing like the plague. You'll regret it as much as I do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst joystick ever., October 26, 2003

By	insomnotek (Hacienda Heights, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this stick because I am an avid gamer, mostly of the fighting genre. I attend tournaments regularly for Tekken Tag and Tekken 4 so I wanted to use a stick instead of a pad so I bought this one because of its cheap price (other sticks tend to cost $50+), but I made the wrong choice. The stick itself is set in a square recession which makes the diagonals harder to hit and the buttons are of the "nipple" type instead of the standard pushbutton fare. The stick also requires much farther movement in order to get it to register.
This stick is also prone to break. I bought mine and played with it for 2 weeks and it broke. The stick stopped registering movement and several buttons ceased to work. I am very dissapointed in this stick. I would not recommend it to anyone. Even if you really need a stick, you should steer clear of this junk.
Instead of this stick, I suggest that you should try out MASSystem sticks, Namco/Hori sticks, or the elusive Korean Stick. These sticks are the most common at tournaments because they are the best.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible product, July 10, 2003

By	Joseph A. Ottoson (Lafayette, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I tried this stick out to compliment my old Namco arcade stick. They shou'dve spent less time with the metal, and put more of the money into developing responsive buttons and a stick that registers motion correctly. None of the extra features matter if the basic design is flawed so deeply. A controller's first and really, only purpose is to enable you to move your character around smoothly onscreen. The Shadowblade fails at this. I've used Ascii sticks, Hori sticks, Mas sticks, and the Shadowblade isn't even close though it shares a similar price range.

Shop around. There are way better sticks out there. Especially if you're a fighting game fan, you're just torturing yourself if you buy this mess.
