What customers say about "Key Specs"
Mad Catz FightStick Alpha For PS4 & PS3
  • The buttons and the joystick moves very responsive and smoothly.
  • It uses a click switch stick which feels good and responsive.
  • The stroke of the buttons is very long. The stick responds well and remains accurate.
  • The buttons are a little mushy and have annoying noise.
  • The PS button was faulty had to be depressed rapidly, many times in order to link to the PS4.
HORI Fighting Stick Mini For PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3
  • Buttons are a little mushy, but they don't stick.
  • The buttons are fairly decent for generics and do allow for quick inputs.
  • The buttons are responsive. I like it.
  • The buttons feel they stick when pushed down, but you get what you pay for.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Mad Catz FightStick Alpha For PS4 & PS3
  • It's small and comfortable, but will take some time to get used to as the transition from controller to stick is quite a big change.
  • Compact but doesn't slip around, top surface doesn't stick to your hands like an acrylic would.
  • I think it's the right size to make it comfortable for any player, whether it's on the table or holding it over his legs .
  • It does feel too light and small, you do get what you pay for.
  • It should carry a little more weight or at least some means of attachment to the table.
HORI Fighting Stick Mini For PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3
  • It was tough getting used to the tiny size of this one, but i really like it.
  • A good layout for my medium sized hands.
  • The feel is nice and the size fits a kid who wants to excel at fighters.
  • It feels great and looks great, resistant material, not so small in size.
  • Great size for the casual gamer that doesn't want to dedicate a whole table to a controller.
