One of the reasons I chose to name this community Arcade Sticks rather than Fightsticks is because these controllers are great for more than just fighting games. Any game that has roots in arcades or otherwise features arcade-inspired gameplay can benefit from the precision and snappiness of a nice arcade stick (including modern leverless variants).

Personally, I tend to use mine a lot when playing bullet hell shmups on my PC. Pictured in this post is my beloved Qanba Q4RAF, which is IMO the best stick that Qanba ever put out. Hell, I'd argue it's the best commercially released stick ever, but that's probably worthy of another thread sometime in the near-future...

Can't agree more. I put Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT in my arcade machine when I built it (not really into fighting games, I guess that qualifies as a fighting stick?). Changed out the gates to octogonal gates.

Been gaming on the machine a couple of nights every month with friends since 2017, only had to take a few buttons apart to clean after a beer or two was spilled in them :D

Welcome to the Arcade Sticks/Fightsticks Community!

This is a community for discussing and sharing media related to fightsticks and arcade sticks of all kinds.

Customization is half the fun with these expensive controllers, so be sure to share your artwork, mods, etc. with the community here. Sharing active deals on fightsticks, parts, or services is also encouraged.

Since this community is brand new, there are no formal rules at the moment other than to be respectful of other users, which should go without saying. For now, self-promotion (e.g. advertising a fightstick-related shop that you're affiliated with) is okay as long as it's on-topic and not being spammed. That may change in the future if things get out of hand.
