Works like a breeze
Comes just as it says. Requires a PS4 or Xbox controller for those respective systems, but other than that you get a lot of quality for your dollar

Great for the price i got it for
Great stick true sanwa parts. The only things i didnt like were the security screws, to get to the pcb there are a few screws that are a little hidden not by rubber feet or anything just in a long hole, and the artwork obviously.Also for those of you interested in modding this stick with something like a wasd add on, there is no SOCD, but you can get one for relatively cheap $15 or less and its an easy install. Also you can remove the metal top under the plexi if somones crazy enough to mod this into a hitbox style fightstick. The metal panel is pretty robust and I dont know exactly how easily it can be cut but 2 layers of plexi is stong enough for that style fightstick anyways

Well built stick, but leaves something to be desired
Let me start by saying I am an Arcade stick lover. I've been playing fighting games for almost 30 years now. I still play competitively and have won a few local tournaments here and there. With that being said, I know my way around some fight sticks. I own multiple Razer, Madcatz, MAAS, Hori and a host of other Universal sticks such as the Mayflash family of sticks. I still have my old Pelican Universal Arcade Stick for the old Xbox/PS2/Game Cube consoles.My first impression of this stick is that it feels solid and is designed very well. You can modify the inner workings of this stick by opening up the case with the supplied hex screwdriver. It's not as simple to get at the innards as say, the competitor in the category, the PXN-X9 Stick (which looks, feels and operates just like the Mad Catz TE2), but it's still quite easy to do. Unlike the PXN-X9, this stick lacks the lid based chassis to expose the internals. This is not a knock against it, just something to consider before you purchase it.Looks:This stick is aesthetically pleasing to look at. I like the angled designed and the tapered decline from the top of the stick to the bottom. It mimics the arcade cabinets from the old days. The buttons and joystick are black, Sanwa made and are of a great quality. Buttons are very responsive and the stick is nice and “clicky”. The art underneath the Plexiglas can be removed and replaced with whatever you like, given that you will need the template for the face of the stick which can be found online.Weight:This stick has a decent weight to it. It's not quite as heavy as the PXN-X9 stick but heavy enough so that it stays put while plating in your lap. If you prefer not to play on your lap, it has some rubber feet that holds it steady on a flat surface such as a gaming table.Compatibility:Ok, so as advertised this stick works with just about everything you may need it for. I can confirm that it works for the consoles that it is listed for as well as the PC. I played a long session of Street Fighter Alpha 2 with this stick and it performed very well! Bad news for those who want to use this stick for your PS4 or Xbox One, you HAVE to use a control pad to connect this stick to the console. Not to mention that you MUST press the sync button for the connection to begin. Any of you out there that hoped this would work with the Magicboots dongle to bypass the need for an actual control pad connection will be out of luck. I can confirm that the MagicBoots dongle DOES NOT WORK with this stick. That's a knock against it compared to the PXN-X9 stick.Response (input lag):Ok, before anyone screams out that this stick is laggy, they have to make sure that they are using this stick on a screen with a decent refresh rate. I ran into this issue early on while playing upstairs on the living room PC. That PC is connected to a 75 inch Vizio P series Quantum 4K TV. I was running my Emulator games on it and while playing Street Fighter Alpha 2, I noticed some considerable input lag. I was missing inputs and combos that I normally nail with ease. I checked my settings in Ubuntu and saw that the refresh rate was set to 60Htz. When I switched it to 120Htz, there was no longer any noticeable input lag. I would say that without this refresh rate or, changing your display to "Game" mode you may notice the input delay while playing on a TV. I have not noticed this while playing on my PC downstairs with regular monitors.Overall:Besides the incompatibility with the Magicboots dongle, I can say that this is a great stick to pick up for some good PC Emulation gaming or even some of the newer fighting games games that you can get on PC. If given a choice for a Universal Arcade Stick, I would go with the PXN-X9 over this stick but lately, those seem to be hard to find and overpriced if you do find one. I bought this stick for $129.00 US, which I think is reasonable but it should probably be more like $99.00. I paid $160.00 for the PXN-X9 which I think is a tad high considering there are more solid options for just $40.00 more but I wanted a universal stick. Had this stick been priced between $89.00-$99.00, and worked with the Magicboots dongle I would have rated it much higher.Do I recommend this stick? Yes, but only with the understanding that you know what you are getting and that you know what your other options are for universally compatible sticks and the features they offer compared to this. If you can live without the open lid access to the internals and the sweet use of the Magicboots dongle for console play, then go right ahead. If not, you have other options that may work better for your needs possibly at a lower price.

Great value!!!
Only issue I have with the stick is setting up to use on multiple consoles. The procedure to have it running on consoles is a bit tedious

The only real upside to this stick is its easy mod ability
You are being warned this stick its a cheap rip off!!! It has sanwa button clones and the stick is not a true Sanwa JLF and the spring in the stick is cheap and flimsy, also the operation of the stick's features are not as straight forward as say Qanba's or Razor's, also the stick I received was missing the screwdriver and usb cable to connect a ps4 or xbox one controller. The only real upside to this stick is its easy mod ability, its also laggy compared to Qanba's or Razor's sticks... I got my stick for $99 and I feel cheated and now the seller wants $140(No!!!) there are so many other sticks that could be bought in a similar price range that's much better... Oh yeah this is basically the LeEco LeGFS-201 Arcade stick just rebranded with a cheaper PCB that's laggy and requires the connection of PS4 & Xbox One controllers.... The LeEco LeGFS-201 is better than this....

Doesn't appear to be compatible with XBOX Series X
I tried six ways from Sunday to get it to work with my XBOX Series X and I could never get it to register. Sending it back. Bummer.

Good but not reliable
Sometimes controller connection on PS4 drops. Can be corrected by unplugging dualshock controller then replugging.
