Very cool. I thought there was only one stick though. What's the difference with the tournament stick and the fight stick you bought?
If you're referring to the PDP (same manufacturer) Tournament Edition (TE) stick (not the Madcatz) then:
- TE has an internal storage area for a couple games & the USB cable
- TE has a clear lexan covering the bottom of the top panel
- TE has E-switches which are inferior to Cherry microswitches
- TE came bundled with MK9 & a couple DLC for both PS3 & 360 although this was sold individually but only for the 360
- Klassic has the better Cherry microswitches
- Klassic has a slightly larger surface area for the top panel
- Klassic has a plaque denoting serial number out of 6k total production
- Klassic has the DLC MK Arcade Kollection (MK 1, 2 & Ultimate MK3) which sells for ~$10 - $15

Im tempted to pick it up.. YOLO
But the MK centric buttons kind of ruin it for me.

Any games this stick is useful for besides MK? I only have room in the house for 1 stick and I think the SF styled button layout is adaptable to more games.

The button placement kind of kills it for me. Good price is you don't mind it though.
IMHO, this is mainly just for MK, MKvDCU & a couple SHMUPS but if you're an old school gamer that played MK in the arcades back in the day then it'll feel natural very quickly. Otherwise, you're better off using a SF/Tekken/Soul Calibur style button layout (4x2).

As much as I'd love to grab this stick (especially if injustice uses MK controls), I know I'd get more use out of a SF stick. Watched some reviews and the build looks high quality but I would like to be able to use it for more fighters.
I'm an arcade joystick collector & to my surprise the build quality, fit & finish is excellent so I highly recommend both versions (TE & Klassic). BTW, as far as I can tell, the developers for Injustice hasn't stated how many buttons the game will use although they just announced the bundled arcade stick already. No info on which components yet but it appears to be a Sanwa bat-top & more than likely Sanwa buttons since I've never heard of a mass stick being made with both Sanwa & Seimitsu components on the same stick. It's going to have illuminated buttons & bat-top (at the base more than likely). Also looks like they're using the Namco Noir (similar to Sega Astro City) button layout.
EDIT: Injustice stick uses Qanba components. Checkout my thread in the tech forum of SRK for more info.
