Eightarc Fusion Ebony PS3 & Xbox 360 & PC Joystick (Fightstick)

This is the most slickest most comfortable Fight stick I have. I own the Hori SA Kai, Hori Fighting Edge, And of course the Ebony. This is the best one out of the three I'd say. Not putting the other sticks down, they're all great if you ask me. But just the fact that its UNIVERSAL (meaning you can play on PC, Xbox, and PS3) makes it great. Came in this cool ass box also. Just plug it in and it does just like your regular joysticks. So if you are watching a Blu-Ray or DVD it will act as a remote (The other sticks I mentioned will do the same also). Also whatever you have your joystick config in any other fighting game will convert right to the stick. I'm not a tourney player but I love the classic arcade feel. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you just wanna have fun or compete.

Fantastic stick. Feels great, and has no lag. Craftsmanship is pretty good. Weight is perfect. Great Sanwa stick, wonderful Sanwa buttons. Even comes with a microphone for XBOX Live use.Critiques:The door for the cable compartment could be a little less flimsy. I'm afraid of it breaking.One of my buttons arrived improperly screwed onto the case, it was just a little bit crooked.The felt on the bottom is a great choice for anti-slip lap play, but it's a fairly cheap and thin sheet of it. I've used it for a few months and it wore out real fast.

Originally got NEW PS2 PS3 PC USB Universal Arcade Fighting Stick (Joystick / Joy Stick) and an OctoGate, but unfortunately, you cannot put an OctoGate on that stick. SO! I decided to take a risk, and pickup the EightArc Fusion. Let me tell you, there is a WORLD of a difference in quality! Sanwa parts really are as good as they say, and the EightArc Fusion's construction is near flawless. Rubber feet on the bottom that ARE NOT STICKERS (its like a miracle..) these are screwed into the base so you never have to worry about them rubbing off. Overall, very well made and well worth the price it cost. With the size of the base it feels very much like playing on a classic arcade and brings a unique aire of nostalgia to newer games.I easily swapped out the Square Gate it comes with for the Octo I had. Very simple system, screws off the bottom casing, then the old gate snaps off with latches and the new Octo snaps in via the same latches. Screw the bottom casing back on, and good to go. Good system. No hassle. You don't need to be some kind of "tech guru" to do it.I also have a bad habit of being.. aggressive on buttons when I play fighters, blisters on my thumb from dpad and my fingers went a numb using keyboard after playing a few hours. I have no fear `going hard' on the sanwa buttons/stick. They have such solid construction it would seemingly take A LOT to break them. Not to mention that even if I somehow managed to do so, you can easily buy a replacement from sanwa on Amazon. Best of all, no numb fingers or thumb blisters! (lol.)Works fantastically on PC, you have to config it in Street Fighter button config first! (I thought it was broken..) Its wonderful for Emulators! With the nostalgia bug, I played a few rounds of Primal Rage on the SNES emulator. Worked like a charm.A fair word of warning, if you've never used a joystick before it will take you about a day or so in training mode practicing your Qtr/DP motions to get used to it!! However after you do, its fantastically superior to using a controller.OTHER THOUGHTS- The box is neat, Im going to keep and use it as a case to hold it when not in use. Would have been AWESOME for EightArc to have made this into more of a `carring case' with actual padding inside (not removable styrofoam) and a handle.- The base is BIG, I like that, some might not. It gives a good heft to it w/o being extremely heavy.- Buttons are SUPER sensitive, you can rest your hand on them or you will push them by accident!- Using it for Little Big Planet Karting on PS3 was.. Interesting.CONS?- The turbo button seems a little quirky? Idk, don't really need it for anything anyway though.- The PC/PS3/360 swap is a big part of the premium cost BUT:Will we see(need?) firmware mods/updates for PS4/New XBOX?? I expect that it will simply "work" with the current setup, but it would be nice to know with the system's releases on the horizon. I expect that someone will find a way to make it work even if there is no "official" solution from EightArc.- Price. There are cheaper sticks out there with Sanwa parts, but this is the only one I found that works for all three setups w/o mods that cost almost as much as the extra cost for this stick.- Size, could be a nucance to store if you don't have much room since its big.- Transport could also be a bit of a hassle for the same reason.Since this stick is USB, even though it doesn't have a "Wii mode", I am wondering if it will work on the Wii as well. Using it to play SSB would be interesting, I will test this out when I get a chance and update.

Love this stick. So precise! It's a shame I'm going to have to get ANOTHER one for PS4. Hopefully they make it backwards compatible. But packaging on this, build quality was perfect.

Bought this for my boyfriend for christmas. He could not believe it. He was very happy and is stil very happy. He plays almost every morning or night. It's a really classy looking fight stick and meets both our expectations.

The Eightarc fusion is a quality product. From the Sanwa Denshi buttons and joystick to the abs plastic that encapsulates the internals. Really Nice Fightstick.

my 2nd stick.first one i bought was a really mid range stick and it didn't have sanwa parts.having spent time in arcades i wanted something quality.this had all my bases covered, multi platform and quality parts.still ended up swapping buttons to custom it out :Pvery solid construction and it was easy to mod with new color parts etc.my only complaint is the damn thing costs over $200.but if you want a quality stick from a reputable company you can't go wrong here.all the people i know who are serious into fighting game competitions had great stuff to say about this as well.

Good quality.
