    I received mine last night after work and man does it hold up well. Fully customizable for different buttons and joysticks. Also can put your own print art under the plastic covering. Mainly using this for Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 when it comes out.

    I have no problems with the hori fighting alpha, as the controller works great, with great feeling the hayabusa buttons and hayabusa joystick. The art is very simplistic, not being too visually noisy. This is great when starting out with the stick imo before applying your own artwork, which is very easy to do. Modding both buttons and artwork is very easy to do, with the ability to easily open up the stick.

    A really good stick for my PS5. Comes with L3+R3 functionality. Swappable lever and buttons. Not a fan of the Hayabusa buttons but I just swapped em out with Sanwa no problem. I also changed the artwork and it looks super pretty. It comes with a square gate but I replaced it with something more suited for fighting games. Tekken 8 here we come.

    Playing fighting games casually for my entire life, it gives an amazing feel like im at the arcade again as a kid. People usually comment on the bittons and they do feel a bit loose, but otherwise I dont see any other issues as of now. Maybe will re-review after a couple of months to update the status of the upkeep. The buttons and stick are replacable with after market buttons which can come in handy. I recommend anyone who wants to sick back and enjoy a casual or competitive experience.

    It’s dope if you have the wrist strength to wiggle the joy stick. Unfortunately i have to return it because my wrist game is weak. But still a quality product

    This is an excellent fight stick. I would highly recommend for anyone who (like me) is getting back in fighting games since SF6 and MK1 are here. I do feel that the price is a little steep as it is a very no frills presentation. Some additional stick options would have been nice. Still a great product
