PS2 Real Arcade Stick Pro - New Import
   Measuring a sizable 15 x 9 x 3" (412 x 243 x 135mm) and weighing in at 5.7 lbs (2600g), Hori's latest joystick covers one's lap and is constructed in sturdy fashion. Other joysticks may creak but this one's pretty solid and no amount of squeezing, shoving, and pushing could make it squeak. Not once. The buttons are laid out comfortably although we would have preferred a little more distance between the stick and the 2 rows of buttons. A set of switches located on the upper left corner of the stick toggle slow motion and offer two gradations of rapid fire to every button.

The joystick is the clicky kind but it's more muted than what Hori has used in the past. The buttons are also fairly soft and springy when tapped.

Due to the large size of this joystick, our shipping costs were higher than expected. As such, we are raising the price for new orders to US$95. We will only ship this item with UPS Ground due to the package size.
