I'm not going to try to "reinvent the wheel" per say, but rather reinforce the positive reviews already out there. If you haven't already read IGN's review (note: it's for the 360, but the product is 99% similar so you'll get the idea) there is plenty of reading material out there. All you have to do is search for "Tournament Fightstick Review."Anyways I just had the chance to sit down and finally see what all the hype was all about for this joystick. Please keep in mind this is my first joystick so while I may not have the experience of others in knowing what's good or bad I have the common sense to tell what's quality and what's not. Here's what you need to know: the buttons and stick ooze quality. They feel and sound great. This is arcade perfect of the Viewlix cabinet so quality parts are a given. Since it has Sanwa parts you don't have to worry about modification. The plastic shell case doesn't have a real high end feel to it, but does the job just fine. My biggest gripe in terms of quality has to do with USB cable storage door. Granted I only opened the door 2 times but I was nervous both times to not break anything off. I would advise owners to handle the storage door with care.For PSX/PS2/PC compatibility I haven't tried it with PSX/PS2 games so I can't say, though I think I remember people saying it doesn't work with PS2 games. PSX might be okay, but don't quote me on that. As for PC I plugged it in (Vista 64-bit on an Intel-based system) and after a short driver installation period I was good to go. This is great for MAME or Mugen or whatever else fits in those gaming categories.If you're looking for a quality joystick and if you can get your hands on one I recommend you get one of these.--Update June 11, 2009:I've used this joystick for 2 weeks now and I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoy playing games with it. There is an intial learning curve for people who have strictly used console controllers all their lives, but it is most certainly worth it.A little warning about this joystick: expect scratches on the clear plastic that sits on the art! From one angle the joystick looks clean, glossy, and smooth. From another angle you can spot hundreds of micro-scratches running across the face. Also I have found the black ring at the base of the stick rubs against the clear plastic the wrong way and will leave a circle of scratches surrounding it. All these cosmetic issues do not affect gameplay in any way. If you want you can always apply something smooth underneath the black ring to prevent this from happening before you start using the stick. Avoid using rubber or anything that would restrict the stick from moving freely.I'm still not a big fan of the cable storage door, but I have gotten used to opening and closing it so hopefully it doesn't snap on me right after my 90-day warranty is up.--Update August 14, 2009:I decided to void the warranty a little more than a week away from its expiration for the sake of testing how easy it would be to install new buttons and a new ball top especially since I just got them from Japan (yes I'm bragging a little). Some of the quick disconnects can be difficult to remove with your fingers so I recommend you use a flathead to loosen the connector at the base and gently tug on the metal portion to remove it or use pliers, again on the metal portion. DO NOT pull on the wires! I ended up replacing the white buttons and white ball top with red counterparts (same Sanwa models: OSBF buttons and LB-35 ball top) and replaced the two black buttons with white ones All in all it was purely for aesthetics. Hopefully I'll get around to posting a picture. I did happen to buy another JLF joystick, but it's only for backup.Modification isn't bad at all, but as I said before it's not necessary since you have top quality parts. If you are looking to modify your fightstick make sure you do some searches on guides in case you've never done this type of thing before.With Amazon's new $130 price tag I don't see how you can turn this down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, especially now.
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2010
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase
When I saw the big price drop on this stick recently, I finally gave in and ordered it. I kept thinking about getting one for when Super Street Fighter 4 comes out, but I'd keep changing my mind at the last minute. With the 2 newer models, maybe this one wasn't as good as those? After reading that they're essentially the same but with different looks, it just sealed the deal along with the price drop. If you're sick of having trouble doing special moves thanks to the ps3's d-pad with its separate buttons for each direction, this will definitely help.

Right out of the box, everything worked perfectly (and smelled good too). The stick isn't as heavy as some wusses made it sound, and won't shift around when you set it down on a table or in your lap. The button layout is perfect, though I'm sure with a couple of games (like SSF2HDR), you'll need to change the button configuration in-game to make everything work best for you. Playing HD Remix with the stick was MUCH easier than with the controller, though I thought it'd take some time since I rarely got to play games in arcades over the years. The buttons have rounded tops, and I prefer them that way over buttons that kind of go inward. The cable's a good length too, and unless you have a massive tv far away from your couch, I don't see anyone having complaints about it being too short.

There have been some complaints about the stick using a square gate, and how an octagon or rounded one is better for certain characters (ones that use circular commands for special moves instead of charging ones). I noticed the square gate immediately when I moved the stick around, and was a bit concerned that it could ruin special moves, but of course there weren't any issues. Wouldn't these FightSticks have lower ratings if that were the case? I was pulling off Hurricane Kicks and Dragon Punches right off the bat. My only gripe is a small one, and it's that I don't like how clicky everything is. That's probably just because I don't play at arcades very much, but even the stick clicks, and that's not something I remember hearing on any cabinet. 'no big deal though, and since you'll be focused on playing the game, I doubt anyone else will notice.

What else is there to say? While the newer models might look cooler, and they -are- a little smaller, this FightStick is excellent and since you're saving a good amount of money, you might as well go with it since it's a little heavier. You can always customize it too since it was made with the super hardcore arcade stick fans in mind, and opening it up is easy. But for those who just plain want to buy an arcade stick and play upon opening it, it's hard to recommend any others over this for the price. Good job Mad Catz. And here I was thinking the only good thing they did was the light gun for House of the Dead 3.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Stick, not perfect, but very close
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2010
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase
This Fight Stick is Excellent. I've had a Hori Fighting Stick 2 for PS2 for a number of years and this is way superior to that and the Fighting Stick 3. I bought this because my ps2 to ps3 converter wouldn't work anymore after the 3.5 update. I've had it for a few weeks already.

Pros:
- It's very large, and quite heavy, which great as it wont move around if you place it on your table.
- The Rubber feet are really nice and grippy and will prevent sliding (wipe them before putting them on the surface)
- Real Sanwa buttons and Stick, feels just like the arcade stuff because it is the arcade stuff
- Really long cable! with cable storage
- Works with my macbook in either OSX or Windows XP bootcamp using MAME Tunes
- Extremely good build quality (except for the compartment cover), Madcatz surprised me here.

Cons:
- Cheap cable compartment cover, it's made from really thin plastic, and i'm always scared of breaking it off.

Bottom Line:
Really expensive for the casual gamer, DON'T get it unless you find it for less than $100, it's not worth the occasional gaming session. But if you want a high quality arcade stick, this is one of the great ones to get, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars New to the fight stick and loving it.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2014
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase
I recently have purchased and received this fight stick after reading up on it and seeing the great reviews. Being new to the fight stick scene, I will admit that I pretty much suck with the stick. I wasn't terrible, but not all that accurate with it, but with how great the stick is, I'm more than happy to practice with it and improve my fighting game skills.

Points:

- Sanwa Parts. Now, being new to fight sticks as I mentioned, I wasn't sure how impressive the sanwa parts would be and can only compare it to a fight stick I had for the first xbox when I was younger. That particular stick had very stiff buttons and the stick took some effort to move. Compared to that and my expectations, the sanwa parts are smooth, easily pressed and yet feel solid enough to "slap around" a little.

- Weight. The weight is good. While the size doesn't allow it fit on my lap very well (I tend to sit indian style) to stay there for long, it didn't budge much while it was on sitting there. Didn't budge much at all when I laid it on the floor later either.

- Chord. The chord is plenty long for me and even has it's own little area to store it in when it's not in use. However, I'll have to figure out the proper way to put it back as thus far, the panel is sort of part open due to improper bundling I'm sure.

- Start and Select placement. The start and select buttons are at the front of the stick instead of on top, which for me works just fine. I didn't find it all too hard to get used to using it there and it's better than having it somewhere it could get slapped during the middle of a game.

IN THE END: I've still got a lot to learn in order to get good with any stick, but I feel that this stick will make that process enjoyable. I offer this review to those new to the fight stick scene and say that if you can get it for around what I did (about 92.00 like new, used) it is most definitely worth it. I got this stick because it seemed like it'd be fun to learn and use and because I want to get a little more serious about my skill in fighting games (stick doesn't make you better, but it's a solid tool to help) and this stick, in my opinion at least, fits that role well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work for PS2 games on a BC PS3!
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2010
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase
Half the reason I bought this stick was to use it with my fighting games for the PS2 such as Guilty Gear, Street Fighter Alpha Collection, Capcom VS SNK 2, etc. I found out the hard way that it just won't work. This is unacceptable since the 360 version will work with original XBOX games on the 360. Madcatz says that it may be fixed with a system update, but since Sony has dropped the whole BC thing anyway, that will never happen. I'm extremely unhappy with this purchase and will most likely be selling it soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The arcade stick that popularised Sanwa
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2015
Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase
Sanwa Denshi, the venerable Japanese company responsible for the ultra-sensitive components found in Japanese arcade cabinets, has always been the gold standard for quality parts that other manufacturers could only jealously imitate at best. There was a time when the only way to get quality components was to buy them piecemeal and assemble a stick yourself, or go through clandestine import channels.

Then this stick came along. The logo may say Mad Catz, but the components are unmistakably Sanwa. Riding on the back of the explosive rebirth of the fighting genre ignited by Street Fighter IV this stick was the easiest way for those in the west to get their hands on a quality stick en masse. I can safely assert this one stick alone is responsible for turning more people onto playing stick than any other that came before or after.

And it's down to a few key points:

1) Again, the parts are pure Sanwa. 100% identical to those used in arcades.

2) The construction of the box itself: It's a heavy, bulky slab of a button-housing. The housing itself may well be the only aspect of the sticks' design that Mad Catz themselves are responsible for, but its calibre stands aside that of the Sanwa parts it houses.

3) Modability: Removing the screws on the top (you will require a non-standard screwdriver!) allows the user to access the inside of the stick, making swapping out the artwork plate, buttons or the stick relatively painless - all without voiding the warranty.

If nothing else the ease of modability also extends the lifespan of the stick, allowing the user to cheaply replace failing components if and when necessary.

To put this purchase into perspective: Back when I bought this stick I was a poor student for whom £80 for a novelty videogame controller was no small investment. And I don't regret a penny I spent on it. The quality and responsiveness in comparison to cheap £30-40 sticks is night and day. This is the real deal.

Hatte vorher einen "Street Fighter X Tekken: Arcade FightStick PRO". Die beiden Sticks haben von der Eingabe her keine allzu großen Unterschiede in meinen Augen. Beim TE sind die Start und Select Tasten etwas kleiner glaube ich, das Konfigurationspanel sitzt oben-links statt oben-rechts und die Seiten sind etwas breiter. Kann sein, dass der TE auch etwas schwerer ist. Die Füße stören mich bei beiden Sticks etwas, da ich den Stick immer auf den Schoß setze.
Sowohl der Joystick als auch die Buttons sind erstklassig. Wenn ich verliere, dann liegt es immer eindeutig an mir (oder am Internet), aber niemals am Eingabegerät. Man muss nur etwas vorsichtig sein, denn die Buttons sind hochempfindlich. Manchmal hat man den Finger nicht ordentlich genug abgehoben, dann betätigt man versehentlich zwei Tasten statt einer. Nach einigen Monaten hatte ich nochmal versucht mit einem DualShock 3 zu spielen, aber man merkt gleich deutlich, dass man eingeschränkt ist, da man alle wichtigen Aktionen mit dem Daumen machen muss. Vor allem Viereck + Kreis oder Dreieck + Kreuz ist sehr schwer. Beim FightStick habe ich hingegen für alle für Angriffstasten einen separaten Finger zur Verfügung. (Ich spiele hauptsächlich TEKKEN)

Je redécouvre Street Fighter IV avec ce stick arcade quelle souplesse dans la maniabilité !!! C'est hallucinant !

SUPER STREET FIGHTER AEを買うと同時にRAP3 SAを中古で買って使用していたのですが、動画配信等でMadcatzさんのTEを見て欲しくなり購入しました。
RAP3 SAと同じ三和電子さんのレバー、スティックを使用してあります。
RAPも中古とはいえかなり操作性がよかったのですが、TEはさらにいい点がありました。
・ボタンを叩いた際の音がやや静か
・重量感があり、安定している
・コードを収納できる
これらが特に満足なポイントですね。もちろん操作性もバツグンです。
初心者の人ほどいいスティックを使用すべきという意見がありますが、納得です。
いいスティックを使っているというだけでモチベーションも上がりますし、使用後は毎回綺麗に拭いたりして手入れしているので長く使えると思います。オススメです。

The controller is very good. Has turbo configurable on the 8 buttons,ps button and let you select what the stick simulate (left analog,right analogh,or directional button). For pc gamers: The ps3 version is only compatible with some USB controller. If you want full compatibility buy the microsoft version that has Drivers on PC. Fortunately on my asrock vision i had a USB 3.0 port on the back that is compatible with the controller (the only ports on the 8 i have...). I gave 4 stars for the PC issue, but if i remember correctly on the box they doesn't claim pc compatibility,so let's say it's not their fault but it's a problem anyway...
