What'd you pay for it? I'm finding most prices around the $200+ range, but I did find a couple sites that charge $130... if you're willing to wait.

Meanwhile, the Madcatz stick is around $80-$100 (edit: Nevermind, I was wrong. More like $110-$130), and the HFS EX2 is as cheap as $50+shipping if you look in the right places.


Also, how do you feel about the stick itself? Buttons aren't a big issue... I wanna know how the stick feels though. Unless you've switched it out.

 

@Grahamhsu - the Madcatz stick uses Sanwa parts, and by what I've read on Amazon about it, it holds its weight against the HRAP3, which is awesome. I'm very uninterested in building my own unless I'd be saving at least 50% on it, though. Not worth it to me. I'm, personally, just interested in something for quality home playing, and occasional vs. play against a couple friends. Not looking for anything too hardcore (which, by what some Amazon reviews say, means I'd be satisfied with the Madcatz FightStick, Standard Edition instead of the Tourney Edition).

 

When I got it, I want to say I ended up paying right around $170-180.  As far as the stick itself, it's not bad..I have a hard time with it sometimes, but I'm not quite as experienced as my friends who are fanatic fighters who love it and use it with ease.  It's the square inset, I want a hexagon stick just until I get better, just to switch back to the square once I'm comfortable.  Will I though?  I dunno..I don't wanna spend more money, so I'll probably just deal=P
