Mad Catz Arcade GameStick

[TruVisionary]

I've gotten sick of trying to play SSFIITHDR with the crappy d-pad on the 360 controller so I'm thinking about getting the Arcade Gamestick off of craigslist. is it worth a purchase?

It depends on the price.

Mad Catz put out an arcade stick? They are doing the SF4 stick, but I've never heard of a Mad Catz one previous to that. Just grab a Hori on the cheap.

You can probably get it for less than $10. I think places like Frys were selling it for that low.

but it is not worth the purchase. I only got one because I won it in a CAGcast contest. The thing isn't stable when you use the stick, the d-pad isn't much of an improvement over the 360 controller, and the whole button placement is whack. Someone posted a YouTube video review of it and he had to glue it onto a piece of wood just so it would be somewhat-useful.
