One more question guys. What size buttons does the HRAP EX use? I ordered Sanwa OBSF-30 Pushbutton with Vertical Microswitch, so I might have to e-mail Lizard Lick about it in order to change my order.
Yeah that's why I wanted this stick lol. Just need to change up the buttons and I'm set.

Alright. So I have the SE Fight stick and love it. Haven't used a stick in a long time. Read about the washer shit and know that my controller has this problem as the joystick gets stuck from time to time. Has anyone called Madcatz and what have they said? I would really REALLY hate to be without joystick if we have to send them in.

What system? My 360 one still says Not Yet Shipped.

Anyone have any idea where to get a relatively cheap octagonal gate stick? Or is my only option a custom stick that's like 150+ dollars?

You can get any stick then buy a separate octagonal gate and put that on.

I asked the same question awhile back and it was suggested that I check out www.lizardlick.com
I'm thinking of picking up the Hori Fight Stick 3. Does anyone have it? Is it good?
I'm picking it over the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 because it's about half the price here and I'm not a hardcore fan of fighters in general so I don't want to splurge so much on a stick that I may end up using very little of.

Sure, it's not worth the investment if you're just going to go back to Halo or Killzone or CoD or whatever next week.ElyrionX said:

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I asked this before but don't think I got an answer...
What would I need to do to adjust my Hori EX2's deadzone? What are my stick replacement options?

No change on my PS3 TE stick order on Amazon. I ordered on 1/16 which is about as late as you could order before they went OOS.

Still nothing for me, ordered on 1/8. I actually had a much earlier order for a PS3 TE stick but I canceled it and decided to go the 360 route this time.

Hey guys,
Remeber a few posts back I complained that my PS3 stopped talking to my HRAP2:SA with that DragonPlus adapter?
Turns out it was my fault. I'd thought I give it one more try and see if I could figure out was exactly was wrong.
Lol' an behold when I was messing with a dualshock2 (which also wouldn't register) I hit the "analog" button in the center and it started working. So I thought I'd try to see if I could do something similar with the HRAP (like disable analog mode) and I found you have to toggle the "slow" switch on the stick and then hit start/select or something like that (haven't quite figured out the order yet). After that, it was reading inputs from the stick again!
Obviously I have no I idea what I did and couldn't find any documention or prior references to this trick (instructions are in jpanese) ....in any case, i'm good to go now and just wanted to let everyone know that the DragonPlus adapter DOES work!
...once again, it was user error
So yeah, looks like I won't be needing that SE Fightstick after all

Nope ...I ran the input test app available at SRK and it's lagless when played on my PC as well

Only problem with that program is (at least to me) it feels like it can falter due to user input being off. I tested my roommate's radio shack adapter that I use for my HRAP2 SA and it test lagless, but I have heard quite a few times that the RS adapters do produce lag *shrug*.

I have a HORI FS EX2, but I just don't want to open things and do soldering and all that stuff. I mean, unless it really as simple as changing out RAM on a computer, it's probably too complicated for me.

Hrm, thanks. I see parts, but I don't see complete sticks?

why would you want a PCB that wouldn't require soldering?Akim said:
Unless you're referring to something Cthulu-style, solderless pad hacks are a bitch. Soldering's way easier than trying to fit 20 wires into the space where a ribbon cable goes

Hori fighting stick anything is shitty (360's EX2 and variants or PS2/3 Fighting sticks).
My DOA4 stick for 360 just stopped working the day I got SF4 (luckily I got another stick on loan from a friend). They have nice form factor, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about them. If buttons break or stop working, you'd have to open the stick and unsolder/solder on another button, and if the button's not Hori, you have to modify the prongs on the microswitch to get it to work. It's not easy to replace bad buttons like say, with the Madcatz SE stick
If you don't have the cash, just save up and buy better sticks like Hori Real Arcade Pro or Madcatz TE (or SE if they fix the joystick problem).

I do have the cash but I'm not sure how much of this game I'm going to be playing. I like the game a lot currently but I'm very bad at fighting games due to my poor reflexes and I've done very poorly online thus far. I also have practically zero experience playing 2D fighters on joysticks.
All of that above makes me very hesitant to blow all that money on a HRAP3.

Mine changed this morning too,finally got my money back,I knew it was some sorta hold.The thing that was odd was that it lasted over a week,my debit holds never last that long.
Glad we both have our money

Hori's entry-level sticks were made just for people in your position. You want a stick for a game you bought. You aren't ga-ga hardcore about playing that game and all its incarnations for years to come. Once you're played said game to death, you probably won't use the stick that much. You are wary of spending a fairly large sum of cash on a gaming peripheral..a toy, essentially.
Comparing Hori's low-end sticks to the expensive HRAP line is like comparing Honda Civics to the Porsche 911 series. Of course the Porsche is a nicer ride, but not everyone needs a Porsche to be happy. Buy an EX2 or FS3 and enjoy it - it will give you months of enjoyment. If you find you want more, you can always sell it months down the road and upgrade.
And it cannot be said enough: a nicer stick will not make you a better player, nor will it magically make the game more fun; a lesser arcade stick will not bizarrely rob you of some special gaming satisfaction.
