SF Fight Pads - any good?

[Escape-To-88]

Just wondered if these things were much cop?
I have a stick for the 360, but I want to play a few old Street Fighter's on my BC PS3 and looking for a decent pad to use. Just wondered if these were comparable to the fantastic Saturn pads or if they are a bit naff?
I'm also presuming they have a 'Home' button on?
Cheers

Why settle for the imitator when the USB Saturn controllers work on the PS3?

Becuase I was looking for something I could use with PS2 games - turns out the fight pads don't either and the adapter with the 'home' button is too expensive for me at the mo.

I have a ps2 to ps3 'inpin' converter (the shoryuken forums approved ones from korea) for sale if your intrested mate? Or a HRAP 3??

Strange, I can use it with PS1 games, I'd assume it'd work with PS2 games. As for the Home button, I just assign a PS3 controller as pad 2 (or alternatively, use my Bluetooth remote).

The fight pads work with ps1 and ps3 only. Strange but true.

I can't recommend the fight pad - mine's been garbage. The pad sometimes gets stuck in a direction (not being able to stop jumping is annoying!) or doesn't register inputs. One fight I couldn't use diagonal down forward for a round and a half - not good when playing as Ryu. When it works, the fight pad is good - decent d-pad and 6 face buttons is nice - but it's rare that it doesn't give me a problem.

I have one as well and hoping to get a call/mail back from Madcatz. I have the same problems as H-man, sometimes my d-pad gets stuck while I don't press it at all.
I'm not sure if it's because of the 2.4Ghz wireless technology, because I also have a wireless mouse, router and phone here...
The one for 360 seems to work okay, despite a clicking d-pad (sometimes). Total garbage for that price, if you ask me.
