For arcade games, some of which I will be playing are fighting games.

Which sticks do you have? How much did you pay for them? 

I have a Hori arcade pro kai. Got it from Amazon for 130€

If by arcade games you mean shmups then you don't really need something expensive. But if you play a lot of fighting games you need to know a few things.

A fightstck isn't necessary to be good. The Street Fighter IV world champion is using a PS1 controller and a lot of the best players in the world use simple fightpads. Also if you're not used to them you'll have trouble doing even basic motions.

If you do buy an arcade stick and you have trouble using it, don't be discouraged. It just needs practice.

By arcade I mean arcade games in general. I use MAME. Im not big on competing It is more to make my time playing a bit moree interesting.

I may also use it when playing other 2d games.

 

Thanks for chatting everybody.
