If you havent heard about the new-ish stick made by Qanba here's the link http://www.focusattack.com/products/Qanba-Q4RAF-XB360-PS3-PC-Compatible-Joystick.html This stick is as cheap as a TE, and it's made multi-console for tournament players, and has everything TE has and more... Some people (like myself) would perfer madcatz because of the placement of the start/select buttons and the size. But what do you guys think? The fact that this stick multi-console, and comes with everything you need to mod it, would you say this stick is better than the TE?
I actually saw many players use this stick at EVO so I can only assume it's good. I'm biased cause I like the Madcatz brand name but honestly, this should be good for you. I say go for broke!
