XBox Arcade Sticks

[csuzw]

What is the best option for the XBox in terms of arcade sticks? I am mainly interested in this for playing SC2.

I have seen lots of threads saying the Hori SC2 stick is great - are there any converters that will allow it to work with an XBox and if so which is the best to get?

Are there any sticks made specifically for the XBox that are ay good and measure up to the above?

The best XBox arcade stick is the Hori Fighting Stick EX

With postage from Play Asia that will cost me roughly ?45 and I will be liable for customs charge. I have looked on Yes Asia and had no luck. Is there anywhere else that does these where I won't be stung by customs?

I think your best bet is Playasia. It's a risk - but if you email PA they may mark the price down. It has not been unknown for people on here to have got away with a customs charge for big items so you never know.

BTW: I wouldn't ponder too long on this. I'm surprised that PA even had them in stock as they were rare as hell not long ago. Even tempted to buy myself another one (my third)

Anybody tried the X-Fighting Stick?

"The X-Fighting Stick from Cosmo is a reworked Arcade Stick which was manufactured out of an original Sega Saturn? Arcade Stick."

If it's a (Japanese) Saturn Virtua Stick modified for the Xbox it could be brilliant.

Thats exactly what it is. I have two of those Saturn virtua sticks and i really love em. Im gonna have to modify mine to ps2, then i can use adapters for the other consoles

I've got enough reward points on Lik-Sang to get one of these for free, how do the Saturn sticks compare to the DC stick or recent Hori sticks?

I've used both the saturn and the dreamcast stick. I'd say they are very similar in build quality and feel too. The difference i've noticed are the L and R buttons being strangely placed and the stick is lower down than the dc one and also the shaft seems shorter, but that might just be me, none of that makes a difference to me, i think i prefer it to the dc sticks

I would say if you can get one for free then definitely give it a try. Because if you dont like it you could always sell it

They are all very similar in feel. DC stick is stiffer than the rest. I think it's too stiff so I prefer the Saturn stick. I have the Real Arcade Pro but haven't had much time to use it yet. It feels very similar to the Saturn and DC sticks. The stiffness is pretty much the same as in the Virtua Stick.

If somebody can point me to an adapter that will let me use my Real Arcade Pro in an Xbox I'll get that but if not the X-Fighting Stick seems like a great choise.
