HORI PlayStation 5 Fighting Stick Alpha - Tournament Grade Fightstick for PS5, PS4, PC - Officially Licensed by Sony

Just got this and love it. I love the lever but the buttons are just fine, but i like seimitsu buttons more than sanwa and these are around sanwa quality so far. Being able to open it and mod without voiding warranty is so cool and more older sticks should of done that. If you want a high quality stick for less than $300 this is the stick to get; I got mine for less than $150 including tax brand new and that was a steal!Perfect for all stick based arcade games, the ps5 version works perfectly on my win10 laptop.

I am a longtime Tekken and Street Fighter player that decided to get an arcade stick after playing on pad pretty much my whole life. After a ton of research, I decided that I wanted a stick that:1. Was going to be durable as I plan to use it a lot2. Could be upgraded easily3. Had a Japanese leverAnd so far this fits the bill quite nicely. One reason I wanted to convert to stick is because I liked the idea of being able to fine tune and customize it to fit how you like to play, and since everyone has a different play style, I think this is the perfect stick to start on in order to figure that out.As a stick, I really like the feedback that the lever gives me. When I do my hadokens and shoryukens I can really feel each input clearly and it’s made them so crisp. I can already tell that I want to change the buttons and the spring, but that’s just to see if it fits me better. It’s got a great weight to it and I like how easy it is to open up to swap out parts. Since the cover art can be changed, I definitely plan to do that at some point too. All in all, it’s an awesome board and if you’re looking to transition to stick I definitely recommend

I picked this up when Street Fighter 6 launched as I figured it was about time I replaced my Qanba Q1. I'm no fight stick connoisseur, so I don't think I could tell a great difference between the buttons and joysticks, but maybe the buttons on this Hori had a shorter throw than those on the Qanba. A very obvious difference in the two sticks was their form factor; this Hori dwarfs the Qanba, and I quite like how well it sits in my lap. As much as I like this stick and feel it was priced fairly, it's not quite perfect for me; currently the weight on the stick is sufficient but could be even heavier, and while the short throw, easy-to-press buttons are probably somebody's cup of tea, I appreciate a button with a bit more 'oomph'. I should note that it looks like the stick is set up in such a way that making customizations will be a fairly straightforward process.If you're looking for a stick in this price range, I reckon you'll be quite satisfied with this guy.

Pretty Good! One of the most comfortable arcade sticks I played on. I didn’t really care for the lever and buttons so I changed them to the qanba silent lever with 4lb spring and the silent gravity buttons. I’m a huge tekken guy so I changed the artwork. I owned the nacon daija but it was very uncomfortable to play on with the sharp edges. I got my artwork from focus attack. Hope this helps yall 🤘🏼

Overall very pleased with this fight stick. Stick is very responsive - has a four way gate (not octagon), ball joystick similar to other tournament fight sticks. All inputs come out nicely (dp, qcf, qcb, etc.) with no perceptible lag. Weight is good (you can read the official stats on the amazon description-- but feels like the old mad cat tournament nightsticks in terms of weight).. I don't think there are turbo functions on buttons (which I don't use anyhow), but there is a lock button to prevent you from hitting certain buttons accidentally. It also has the PS5 home button, share button, option button, etc.. The storage solution for the cable is a bit unusual - you have to open the stick up and wrap it around an area that sits right next to all the exposed wires). But the stick opens up easily and as long as you don't roughly mess with the wires, storing the 10ft cable inside the stick isn't a problem. You can swap out the artwork on the top stick easily as well but it looks great just out of the box. I purchased it because I just wanted a quality fight stick that cooperates easily with my PS5 and it does the job nicely. If you have an old PS4 fight stick, there are some games that don't support legacy PS4 sticks--and you have to shop around for an adapter or hope the software developer of your game will support legacy sticks.. But right now this a great fight stick that works with the PS5 without needing the software (like SFV) to support legacy controller functions.

Awesome stick!! Guilty gear strive on my ps5 pro just got 40x more fun to play. Amazing for All fighting games… just get it!!
