I had been eyeing a TE stick for 2 years. Though I'd heard good things about them, I was still very leary due to them being made by Mad Catz. And anyone who knows Mad Catz knows their notorious for making junk products. Well this time they showed us all. This hands down is the best arcade stick I've ever used. And I've used A LOT of them. After 2 years of skepticism, I finally gambled with one and it paid off big.
Before even using it, just holding it, the stick feels like it's worth every penny you spent for it. Everything is super responsive. And you feel like every mistake is without a doubt your own fault, never the sticks.
It features
-Sanwa parts for the stick and the buttons.
-Vewlix button layout
-13 ft usb cord
-Door to store cord internally
-Lock switch
-Turbo feature
-Start, Back and Guide buttons just like a 360 controller
The stick also has gorgeous Street Fighter 4 art on it. I love the black on black with a red bezel.(obviously Mad Catz does too since the "new" Marvel Vs Capcom 3 stick is just this stick with different art) It's also pretty heavy so you can play and not worry about the stick moving all around and altering your inputs. I've found myself playing nothing but fighting games lately because they give me an excuse to use the stick more. Now keep in mind that the stick is in no way going to take you from being a novice to a pro in an instant. There is a bit of a learning curve. And those of you who've never used an arcade stick before are definitely going to have to spend some hours in training mode on your fav fighter. But once you get comfortable with it, like myself, you'll wonder why you didn't grab one sooner.
The stick uses Sanwa buttons, a Sanwa JLF stick, and the famous square-gate that is favored by Japanese arcade fans and tournament pros. Very very nice.
This may be a bit expensive but it is a bit cheaper than those Hori sticks which in my opinion and the majorities opinion. Basically this stick beats the expensive Hori Stick period. And mainly it is not because of the Sanwa parts but the durability, weight, design and how nice and snug it feels on your lap.
This stick has 4 rubber stands on the rear of it to keep it nice a stable when played on a coffee table or something.
The stick has a turbo option which doesn't really make me cry out with awesomeness because it isn't so great and the cheaper SE sticks have them. (Nothing intuitive and turbo buttons are for scrubs!!)
I love how the start and back button are on the front of the stick instead of being on top of the stick with the joystick, and 8 playing buttons. The Xbox or PS3 home button has a lock mode. (Basically you won't hit start or back or the home button and make any mistakes that can get you disqualified.)
And modders unite as I modded my stick. Sure it voids your warranty but you're adding better parts and if something breaks you can fix it with new parts that are quite cheap. This stick is a modders haven, the stick can be modded so easily and all you need is a 3mm Allen wrench/hex key, a Flathead screwdriver, and a Philips head screw driver. Oh and of course you need the parts you're going to replace with on the stick such as different colored buttons, Seimitsu clear buttons, LED's, custom artwork, and the dual-strike mod (Allowing the stick to be compatible with both 360, PC and PS3 systems).
Overall an incredible stick. This thing can literally take a century time worth of beating and not even break. I would recommend this for anyone and I plan on buying a second stick.
The joystick itself was incredibly responsive when it worked. The buttons needed only a slight breeze to register a hit. For those of us who have always used a standard home-console controller, it will take a good bit of practice and adjustment to get used to it.
Despite my issues, I went ahead and returned the stick for a replacement. I'm thinking I just got a bad one, but we'll see how that goes. The moral of the story here is despite all of the glowing reviews and authentic parts, it's STILL a Madcatz. I'll be picking up the extended three-year warranty Amazon offers through SquareTrade. $130-$150 is too much to pay for a semi-reliable stick that may or may not last a year before breaking down.

Highly recommend for anyone trying to re - kindle that arcade experience or just interested in improving their skills in game.
P.s. also works on other games, just don't reccomend any FPS. Hood fun with your friends, less effective than playing paper Mario on an emulator on your pc through an emulator :)
I have yet to try out the headphone jack for an Xbox headset, but it did come with a sort of adapter for the older types of Xbox headsets that have a block on the end of the wire. For anyone using that kind headset it might be worth noting.
Also it has the standard Xbox Guide-button, options to switch mode for the stick (Left stick, right, or D-pad) and also a locking-mechanism for the various non-important buttons so they are not accidentally pressed.
When it comes to modifying the stick (though i don't think you'll need it), it is very easy to remove the face panel. Just 6 simple hex-drive bolts and the whole top of the fightstick comes off (be careful with underlying wires, don't open if you don't know what you are doing). From here you can easily change components and/or add some artwork to your stick. It is also worth noting that the default artwork is adequate. I have no plans of changing it.
Lastly there is a hatch on the backside of the fightstick that holds the wire (with xbox plug into USB plug). I took out about half the wire and locked the rest inside the stick. Perfect for transporting the stick and regulating the length of the wire while in use.
What more can you ask for? If you can afford it, you won't regret it.
Using XBOX Controller I managed to get B Class but still I was not able to hit combos and fadc stuff.
So someone recommended to buy this Arcade Stick to become a pro. So far I've just loved this Arcade Controller but it takes lot of time to get used to.
I would highly recommend for SSF4 freaks.
high quality stick that fits nicely in the lap, and thanks to its size its just as easy to play even when the cat jumps into the lap next to it demanding a human pillow
