    • Top-Notch Choice for a first Arcade Stick
Style: Arcade Stick
This is a good choice for a first arcade stick. The construction is sturdy and presentation immaculate, harking to the old NES Advantage. I mostly use this stick for Shmups on the Switch and my computer. I can’t speak for how it does in fighting games, because they don’t interest me. This is the first arcade stick I’ve owned. It took a few minutes to get used to it, but going from a controller is very intuitive. The joysticks and buttons are much more ergonomic. If you find that using a controller for extended periods causes wrist strain, this controller is worth trying out. Don’t assume that it’ll make you suddenly play much better, but the experience of using it is a lot of fun. The switches also going to be much more durable than the contacts on a modern console controller, as well as being easier to replace. It does make a fair bit of noise, but that’s part of what makes it fun. Pros: + The stick has a large metal plate inside the plastic shell, which gives it a decent enough heft to keep it from sliding around on a tabletop. The wide rubber feet on the bottom also help in this regard. + Switch and X-input modes. With Brook adapters, this stick could in theory work with any console in X-input mode. + Backlit button labels look really slick, and even swap between input modes. + Balltop joystick has decent micro switches, and a light feel, making it easy to use. + Wired functionality in addition to wireless use is very nice. The stick comes with what can only be described as a shockingly high quality USB-A to C cable. It’s also long enough for pretty much anyone’s living room. + There is a dedicated compartment for the 2.4G dongle behind a flap on the back of the stick, which is an absolute godsend. + The stick is designed around standard JP arcade parts, so it’s reasonably easy to customize or repair. (Do note that it can only use snap-in buttons due to tight internal clearance, which limits some of your options.) + 8bitdo did a good job on the packaging for this product. If you see yourself moving it around a lot, I recommend holding onto the box, which has a convenient carry handle. Cons: - The knockoff Sanwa buttons are a bit loose and rough, but they still get the job done. Returning spring force is a bit on the weak side. - The stick comes with a square gate, which can make diagonal inputs difficult. I’d strongly recommend picking up an octagonal gate (JLF Type) for around 10 bucks. It only takes a crosspoint screwdriver and a few minutes to swap it out. - The plastic shell can be a bit creaky sometimes if you get a bit rough. Not a deal breaker for me, but some people may find this bothersome. - This isn’t 8bitdo’s fault, but you will also need to get their wireless adapter if you want to use the stick on a macOS machine. If you wanna use it on Mac, don’t forget to budget the extra $20 for that. It took a bit of fiddling around to get it to work, but I eventually got it going. Overall, I think that 8bitdo did a phenomenal job on this product. The form factor is great, it looks quite stylish and the versatility makes it suitable for a lot of use cases. It’s clear that some of the design choices are intended to manage the cost, but the underlying unit is a well thought out piece of hardware. Considering that it’s not all that much more expensive than an official Switch Pro controller, the Arcade Stick is a great value. With this much versatility and upgradability, I’d say it’s worth spending the extra dosh over more budget sticks like the HORI mini. It’s head and shoulders above its peers in the $90 range from what I’ve seen. Do get this if: You want a solution that works easy right out of the box. The 8bitdo is an excellent choice for a first arcade stick, with virtually no hassle for Switch and PC use and can be used on a wide variety of platforms with a bit more setup. You want an arcade stick to use for a variety of devices. Switchable input modes make this stick exceptionally versatile. You want to dip your toes in the waters of customizing arcade controls. The unit accepts a variety of different options from the likes of Sanwa and Seimitsu. The shell opens with six recessed screws on the back, and there’s a fair bit of tinkering that you can do without ever having to touch a soldering iron. Don’t buy this if: You expect to play better as a result of using this stick. There’s no substitute for practice, and some folks will find that a stick won’t help them make the precise inputs they need, compared to a dpad. You don’t play all that many games that benefit from an arcade stick. Think about the sort of games that you play the most. If it’s mostly stuff like RPGs or 3rd person 3D games, where there aren’t many rapid inputs or you need to use both analog sticks, it might not be worth spending 90 bucks on a bulky controller that you probably won’t use all that much. You are used to the feel of American arcade hardware. The components in this stick will have a much lighter actuation force than you’d expect, so it may seem rather delicate and awkward to use. If you prefer the look and or feel of bat-top sticks and concave buttons, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. You think you’re going to trick it out with all sorts of [brand name/model here] parts or custom wraps. The stick is on the thinner side, which limits your options with respect to joysticks. It’s only designed for snap-in buttons which is a further limitation. If you’re going to buy upwards of $60 on parts for a $90 stick, you’ll probably be better off building something custom. ... show more

I'll start by saying this is my first stick i play on PC, games being mainly Guilty Gear Strive and SFV at the moment will get SF6 when more characters come out. I also play MK but don't use a stick on it. This stick is great out of the box, however the buttons were a little loud for my liking...so I switched them out for Seimitsu's across the board with silencers in them, way more quiet and no rattle any more when shaking the stick around. I kept the stick itself stock and put a Crown DX battop on there instead of the ball top and it just screwed on, finally I put on an octo gate. It was all easy and it required no tools besides the T10 screwdriver to open the bottom to access the inside of the stick if you plan to mod you specifically need an T10 screw driver with at least 3 to be safe inches of length and can't be too stubby. I recommend this stick as your first for the following reasons: The wireless capabilities are great if you're on PC use the dongle and not Bluetooth for less input lag(its basically non existent). The size of it is great if you don't like huge heavy sticks but want something lighter but also doesn't take up as much space on your lap, yet has a sturdy feel to it. Its a good price for a starter stick and everything it comes with is great for its price, wireless, and moddable parts. I would recommend replacing the buttons or adding silencers though they can be loud. This stick has third-party options to allow you to use it on the main consoles as well you just have to search for them if that feature is really that important to you. All in all great stick I've had it for over a year and a half now and its great will upgrade the stick soon again if it ever breaks I'll probably buy another one. ... show more

    • Quality stick, needs cutting for LS-40 and up
Style: Arcade Stick
WON’T FIT SEIMITSU LS-40 OR TALLER STICKS WITHOUT MODIFYING PLASTIC. First day review. Stock joystick: The default stick is a sanwa JLF clone with a square gate. It is compatible with aftermarket octagonal gates. Its pretty good if you like that stock Sanwa JLF feel (I don’t). Joystick Mechanical Interface: I’m used to mangling big holes into the plastic with a dremel to fit LS-40s with oct gates into my sticks. I was really hopeful that this stick would actually just work, but nope! It mounts just fine to the converter plate included with the stick, but when you put the bottom on the stick the shaft tip will scratch against the bottom. This adds a bunch of extra resistance when moving and stops the return-to-center, destroying the feel. It’s possible that you could very carefully sand out the interfering portion at the bottom, but it’s hard to tell exactly how much to sand down and I can’t guarantee it will work without just going all the way through the bottom. The SS plate that comes with the LS-40 would add back in a couple millimeters to fix the clearance issue except the holes don’t line up with the heat-set inserts in the top case. And even if the holes were in the right place there are some plastic ribs in the topcase that get in the way, so there’s no way to attach it without mangling things somewhat. Finally, the metal plates attached to the bottom of the case add a bunch of really nice feeling weight, but also add clearance issues with seimitsu-style sticks that use restrictor plates that mount on bottom, as opposed to being closer to integral/flush mount like the Sanwa JLF. There’s a hole in the metal plates that is wide enough for the shaft to move freely but is not big enough to clear any add-on restrictor such as the stock 2/4/8 way square restrictor that comes with the stick. It doesn’t even fit the Kowal octagon restrictor, which is really small as far as restrictors go. An LS-32 has a tiny bit shorter shaft (1.5mm), so it will probably clear the plastic at the bottom but you’re almost certainly going to run in restrictor clearance issues unless you remove the weight plates. This can be solved if you have some way to precisely remove a bunch of material out of stainless steel, but that’s a massive pain. In the end it just doesn’t feel like they bothered testing with anything besides sanwa JLF clones. The marketing images also say that this works with Happ/IL sticks-I’m sure they’ll mount to the converter plate inside just fine but there is absolutely NO WAY you’re going to get the case to close with one of those since they are way taller then even the LS-40. That’s basically par for the course as far as premade arcade sticks go, but their marketing implied that this stick would be different. I’m not really hopeful that future product revs will fix this since everything I talked about is a gross mechanical clearance issue on a large plastic part, which means $$$$ to do a whole new set of molds, which they’re very much not likely to do, regardless of whatever marketing comms they put out, if you know how manufacturing works. Joystick Electrical Interface: The board side harness is an 8-pin JST style connector, eyeballing it looks like 2.54 mm pitch. Four directions, I think UDLR, then four grounds (closed the stick up at the moment so cant say exact pinout). The wires are soldered on to the switches on the stock stick. Swapping in a new stick is almost certainly going to require soldering or at least crimping your own 8-pin harness, not a problem for me but it might be for you. I know you can buy 5-pin premade harnesses but I’m not sure about 8 pin harnesses with whatever keying they used. Given the focus on moddability I would have expected a 5pin JST to .187 quick disconnects, which would have allowed for simpler, solder- and crimp-free end-user swaps. Again, I’m used to the jank when modding but given the modability as part of the marketing I was thinking this time I wouldn’t have to. Buttons: Stock buttons are pretty good, nothing special but usable. They feel like cheaper versions of Sanwa buttons, medium spring tension on the way down, no noticable switch click, medium speed rebound on the way back up. Rebound feels a little slow for my tastes when mashing the Fire button or whatever but it’s mostly just a feel thing, doesn’t seem to affect performance at all. Button Mechanical Interface: They got this right. Buttons pop out easily and 30mm Sanwa OBSFs click right in. No sanding, jank, or cutting etc of any kind required. I haven’t examined the 24mm macro buttons at all since I don’t plan to use them. Button Electrical Interface: They did this right. Theres a whateverpin JST style board side interface, then the button side connections are all nicely insulated quick disconnects. The stock buttons are some whatever brand but the terminals are exacly the same size as sanwa buttons. Just pull the harness off the stock buttons and connect it to your new buttons. Using quick disconnects also means its a snap to rewire the buttons into your preferred order. The led labels will then be wrong but you can just disconnect the harness for the LEDS or simply don’t look down at them during gameplay. Special notes: The main screw sockets are buried in deep in narrow sockets. You’ll need a deep T10 Torx T-handle or similar to get at them. The standard 40-in-1 screwdriver set you can use on just about everything else won’t cut it here, since the bits aren’t long enough and the socket’s too fat to get all the way down to the screw head. Overall: It seems to be a good stick. I haven’t touched much on the electronics but everything seems to work as advertised so far with my Switch and I have a bunch of other 8BitDo controllers so I trust them on that. I’ll jankmod in my LS-40 one way or another, was just hopeful that for once I wouldn’t have to rip and tear. Doesn’t quite feel right to take the dremel to it on day one but I’ll have a big ugly hole cut out of it soon enough. I’ll add it to my collection of frankensteined, ugly but razor-sharp precise sticks. Review score: Minus one star since the LS-40 I bought specifially to install in this stick doesn’t fit and minus another star since their marketing said that it would so I’m a little miffed about being let down. If you genuinely like the feel of Sanwa JLF sticks this could be a 5 star stick for you. It would have been for me too if my preferred stick fit on the first try. ... show more
