Madcatz SFV TE2+ Fightstick - $184 @ Amazon

Fry's has the S+ version for $180 if you wanted the shadaloo design.

Edit nvm: Amazon has it for 160 lol

Coming from a tournament player this is a great stick. Frys only had the Hori RAP4 for $100 earlier in January and last year and a while back. The price then jumped to their promo code deal for $129.99

What sets this one apart from the Shadaloo TE stick is that it has a glossy panel where you can easily switch out the artwork on the stick. Easy to access sanwa buttons cabinet in case you ever want to switch out buttons. The detachable usb cable us also a neat function.

If your just a casual fighting gamer fan don't expect to get good with execution over night and days.

Don't forget SF V on PS4 also uses the legacy driver so you won't have any problems using a PS3 stick on it.

I forgot about that last point - do all fighting games on ps4 have legacy support our is it worth it to pick this up (could also work as a second stick)
 
This is a great fightstick and well worth the money. Years ago on CAG Mad Catz clearanced these out with a B1G1 for $150, I couldn't pass on that deal for $75 each and now that legacy support is on PS4 I'm glad to own this fightstick.

No not all PS4 fighting games do. Also you need a dualshock 4 controller linked up even when using your PS3 stick for SFV.

 
This is a fantastic stick. Personally, I like the RAP4 better, but this is really really good. Easily moddable too, throw on different spring, change the gate, etc.

I have a cronos plus any idea what the difference between a brook converter and that?

I don't know if it's changed, but the cronosmax used to have a pretty bad rep. It had noticeable input lag, a 7(?) minute timeout and even allegedly burned out USB ports. It also started to feature programed mods which caused it to be banned at lots of tournaments.

Keep in mind I never used it and only looked up info on it before deciding if I wanted to buy it ( I didn't).

 
If you missed out on the $159.99 price gamestop still has it at that price for the Shadaloo stick.

Amazon was just price matching these

Whats the diff b/w the TES+ and the TE2+? Also is this a good price for the TE2+? I still have one of the OG TE's for PS3 and didn't realize support was limited nor the controller requirement so I'm interested but don't need it immediately

There's a great post on the first page detailing the differences. This is the best price I've seen em at, and fightsticks tend to hold their value for w/e reason, at least themed ones do. This is my first fightstick purchase ever, so I can't really give advice beyond the same stuff people around the internet regurgitate.

TES+ is just the ps4 version of the old tournament edition body with a touchpad basically. TE2 sticks are easy to mod, are the definitive nightsticks out right now but it is just expensive. $184 is a the lowest this stick has been. It goes for 300+ on eBay and sticks hold their value pretty well so it definitely won't go lower.

Just get a TES+ if you prefer the old TE madcatz body

I have it and also have the TE-S which I modded , I have to say the TE2+ is awesome , I bought mine used from amazon (third p. seller) and looks like it works really good so far so not bad.

It had a few scratches and was missing the phillips madcatz screws and the box but saved about 100 $ so wasn't horrible cause I wanted to get another ps4 controller..

Just download the drivers from madcatz and then use the tray icon to set it to the input you want and youre good to go. Have tried it on a friends pc steam/ skull girls and roomate's ps3 /SFV and my own computer PC/ SFV and all have been good tests so far. I'd recommend the TE2+ for beginners or veteran fighters alike.

2 Pictures of both my joysticks, right one modded, left one with mods still being planned..
