I think so, as long as they have an SOCD cleaner.

I need a stick (more like two matching ones) for my MiSTer, but I'm not sure what to go for. Whatever it is they need to be adapted with either a Daemonbite or a Brook board. I don't need eight buttons. Enough vertical space for Happ switches is a must as well.
I'd really like a couple of old DC arcade sticks which I could utterly mod the arse out of, but those are really hard to find.

It seems this SOCD Cleaner fixes the problem people had, though.

I have heard there are newer Hori fight pads so may give that a try
I bought mine new from Amazon five years ago for 20 quid but they've shot up in price since then.
I prefer my 8bitdo M30's dpad but the Hori buttons are all nice and large. It works on PS3/PS4/PC(Xinput).

But I always saw that sort of hitbox as like if tomorrow, someone found that you could get a competitive advantage by playing Tekken 7 with a Guitar Hero controller. It might be true, but I simply don't want to do that - and if I went to a competition and everyone was doing that, then I'd start to feel as though I don't want to bother.
I'm fine with them in their current incarnation if those things which made them genuinely better than other controllers have been fixed (namely the ability to press multiple opposed directions at once, which is literally impossible on a stick).

So I recently bought a Pico Pi for an upcoming GameCube IPL replacement modification and decided to try out this GP2040 game controller code on it for funsies and wow, it works really well. It only really works for basic devices but considering I only really use my PS4 stick with my PC and MiSTer it is a really nice solution if you just need a basic PCB that can be adapted, fully support xinput too. I already ordered another for some other reason but I'm pondering the idea of grabbing another and one of those Astro City mini sticks with the notoriously bad PCB and merging the two.

I discovered something “magical” today:
I have a Mayflash Magic S Pro (discontinued) which claims to support PS4 consoles. However, a certain PS4 system update started disconnecting unlicensed controllers after eight minutes - something about not having the Bluetooth decryption key - and, while Brook released firmware updates to counter this, Mayflash never seemed to.
Fast-forward to this morning and I’m mulling over the 8bitdo Arcade Stick, which is Switch and Xinput only.
Just for a laugh I connect the Magic S Pro to my my PS5, pair it with my 8bitdo M30 Bluetooth, fire up Ultra SF4(PS4) and…
…not even a hiccup during an hour-long session
I didn’t update the Mayflash firmware or anything so fingers crossed Sony don’t decide to update it out of commission!
