    4.0 out of 5 stars What a real stick should be! TE.. waste of time.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Pros:
    - Competitive price point vs. TE SFIV Stick
    - Actually in stock (?? Not for long at this rate)
    - True arcade quality components and construction
    > Sanwa JLF Joystick (Square Gate/Top Notch!)
    > Hori Buttons (Average quality/Slightly loose)
    > Size and Heft Make it Perfect (Lap/Desk play)
    > Extremely Durable Construction
    - If you love to mod/customize this is for you
    > Easy to remove back/front plates
    > Any Snap-In buttons work great
    > Can add custom graphics if desired (Check Shoryuken forums for templates)
    - Headset jack/Guide for XBOX Live
    > Careful not to miss the cable clips included in packaging
    - Wired Design works on XBOX and PC! (MAME Anyone!?)

    Cons:
    - Hori Buttons aren't quite Sanwa quality
    > Button color arrangement is a little weird but can be remedied
    - Hori's packaging of this stick is NOT ideal
    > 2 Egg-crate style side pieces
    > Nothing really covers/pads the stick (Mine was fine however)
    - As far as scratches go, don't forget to peel off the protective film from the top. Film scratches easily, top does not.

    Summary:
    With a few cheap button upgrades this stick can be >= ANY other high quality arcade stick. For about 75% of gamers stock buttons will work perfectly. If your holding out for a TE stick.. DONT. The SFIV TE stick does include some very nice components out of the box but doesn't compare in size/weight to the HRAP. Some might be disappointed to discover that, underneath, the TE's officially licensed graphics are just a sheet of paper-like material just like other arcade tops. Also, there are scattered reports of issues with the Mad Catz TE stick. (However, to be expected)

    I've had no delay, button sticking, or general response issues with about 20+ hours of SFIV so far. After using this stick the Hori EX2 and Mad Catz SFIV SE stick seem like toys. However, either one of those could make a good backup stick.

    Bottom Line:
    4 Stars.. -1 for crappy packaging by Hori and mid-grade buttons.
    Pricey but cheaper and more accessible than the TE stick. Also, easy to mod for adventurous types. Worth every single cent. This will please ANY and EVERY fight fan.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stick! I love it.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I was fortunate enough to order one of these while they were still in stock, and I must say, I could not be happier with my purchase. Out of the box the stick is solid and really feels like it can take some abuse. The joystick (Sanwa JLF) is extremely responsive and the Hori buttons are nice as well. Another great thing about this stick is the sheer size of the cabinet. It allows for plenty of space to rest your hands on and it works well wether you place it on the coffee table or in your lap. I've used this exclusively since getting SF4, and even with the amount of use it's gotten already, it still feels solid. My friends say the same when I take it with me to video game nights. They love it as well.

    With regards to customization - as others have said, this stick comes with great parts that will perform to most standards and types of playing. With that said though, some may choose to customize the HRAP, and it is very easy to do so. The buttons are all snap in, and it's easy to disconnect the wires since they use quick disconnects. The stick itself is also easy to customize. Sanwa offers many solutions for restrictor gates and bat tops. I myself, wanting the feel of an American arcade stick, swapped out the standard square gate for an octagonal one and put a bat top on the stick in place of the bubble top. I am extremely happy with the feel. A quick google search on-line will take you to a couple suppliers where parts can be ordered if you choose to go the custom route (I ordered my stuff from lizard lick amusements), and a visit to the forums on srk has plenty of info for everything. The only other thing I may do is add some weight inside the cabinet. It's pretty hefty already, but a little bit more wouldn't hurt. It's a personal perference.

    All in all, this is a great stick. I am extrememly happy with my purchase and love using it with SF4. 30 years and I've finally realized my dream of having an arcade in my living room - no quarters required!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Build your OWN instead!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    Let me start off by saying if youre a diehard street fighter fan and youre used to arcade cabinet stick THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!!

    1. if you used to a bat-top, good luck. because this a ball top and if youve been playing bat-top like the past 20 years like me,it's going to feel unbelievably awkward

    2. if you can get past the ball-top, you will not get past the quarter-circle and full-circle movements because hori decided to use what seems like plastic for the input spring on the stick and it seriously feels like youre wiggling a straw inside an empty glass. Stick input should be tight and really responsive, not loose and sloppy.

    3. button placement is absolutely atrocious!!! why would stagger the buttons instead of putting in tandem like every other arcade machine!?!?

    piss poor design for what is supposed to be a pro arcade stick

    in closing if you want a quality stick: BUILD YOURE OWN

    This Hori stick comes with crappy buttons which often sticks when it's pressed. The joystick is made from Sanwa which is a fine stick. But what is the use of a fine stick if the buttons are cheap. That means you have to go out and buy some buttons to replace them which would be additional costs to whatever you paid for this arcade stick. I returned this product right away to buy a Madcatz Fightstick Tournament Edition which comes with all Sanwa parts right out of the box so you don't have to buy additional parts except when you want to mod it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gekauft 2018! Sehr Gut. Raspberry und mit Adapter Stick auch für One!
    Reviewed in Germany on December 14, 2018

    Diese Arcade Sticks sind ja schon älter immerhin sind sie ja für die Xbox 360.
    Kaufgrnd: ich suchte Arcade sticks für meine Raspberry Box und gleichzeitig für meine Xbox One.
    Tja gar nicht so einfach und auch Preismässig aber dann bin ich auf die hier gestoßen.
    Diese sticks haben einmal 120 € gekostet und habe sie jetzt für die Hälfte bekommen (Neu) sie sind nur für die xbox 360 und funktionieren nicht an der One aber dafür gibt es eine Lösung der (Brook Adapter Stick ca. 35€)
    Hiermit kann man Xbox 360 Zubehör an der One verwenden und funktioniert super.
    Ob sie am Raspberry funktionieren würden wuste ich nicht und war somit eine Glücksache aber sie funktionieren ohne Probleme wird sogar als Player 1 und Player 2 erkannt hab mir nämlich gleich Zwei bestellt.
    Wenn man neue Arcade Sticks für die One haben will und gleichzeitig eine halbwegs gute Qualität mit zb. Sanwa Teilen wie bei diesem hier ( nur der Yojstick ) dan zahlt man eben mal über 120€ komm mit dem Brook stick hier aber nur auf 95€ und bei zwei Stück zahlt sich das schon aus.
    Bin Voll zufrieden habe aber noch keine anderen Arcade sticks gehabt also kann ich die Qualität nicht vergleichen. Aber fühlt sich gut an.

    Etant Fan des jeux de combat et voulant une approche au plus proche de la borne d'arcade je me suis tourné vers cet arcade stick d'une très grande qualité (pensez à changer les boutons pour du Sanwa) pour xbox 360 qui de plus est compatible PC notamment avec le célèbre émulateur Mame.

    Da der HRAP EX mein erster Stick ist habe ich leider keinen Vergleich, scheint aber qualitativ hochwertig und er "tut was er soll".
    Persönlich finde ich dass die Hori Buttons sehr leichtgängig sind und ihren Zweck erfüllen, sehe keinen Grund diese zu diesem Zeitpunkt auszutauschen (was jedoch dank "quick disconnects" ein Leichtes wäre).

    Nutze den Stick am PC und nachdem der Xbox360 controller Treiber installiert war, wurde der Stick sofort ohne Probleme erkannt (32bit xp sp3 und win7 x64). Das Gewicht des Sticks ist hoch genug um verrutschen zu vermeiden, aber nicht so hoch dass es unangenehm wäre ihn für längere Zeit auf dem Schoß zu haben.

    Kaufempfehlung für Leute denen der Spaß es wert ist.

    Addendum nach 3 Monaten:
    Stick funktioniert immernoch astrein, habe mittlerweile SanWa buttons eingebaut (was wirklich einfach war) da die Hori knöpfe sich mMn mit der Zeit doch etwas billig anfühlten und noch so einigen Blödsinn mit dem Ding angestellt, der kann was ab. Nochmals eine wärmste Empfehlung.

    Nachtrag nach über 4 Jahren:
    Mittlerweile ist mir das Kabel am Gehäuseausgang gebrochen (warum stell' ich den Stick auch auf den Boden und trete dann darauf?!), aber er läuft und läuft. Kabelbruch im Gehäuse untergebracht, zwei Knoten in's Kabel, das hält seit einem Jahr. Mein nächster Stick wird definitiv wieder ein Hori, absolut unverwüstlich!
