Perfect on Xbox One - Awesome with Mortal Kombat 11 - UPDATE: WORKS WITH WINDOWS 10

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019This fight stick rocks!
I'm not a diehard gamer, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I sometimes get nostalgic for my early-90s arcade days and I wanted an arcade style stick for playing my favorite fighters (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter). This stick fit the bill perfectly. I love the Japanese style Hayabusa stick and buttons, and especially like the button layout--so much more ergonomic than the old cabinets I used to play on.
The size and weight are excellent. It is heavy enough to feel like a quality piece of equipment, but light enough to move around with ease. The top plate protrudes over the sides a little, protecting the right-side buttons and making a perfect grab handle. I haven't tried it out on a desk/solid surface yet, but it feels great sitting in my lap. I like it much better than the Xbox Mortal Kombat Fight Stick by PDP that I got when MK9 came out a long time ago.
I made two modifications, which were super easy:
• Replaced the 35mm balltop with a red Sanwa battop (fits my big hands much better);
• Changed the stock square restrictor plate to a KOWAL Hayabusa Octopus Octagonal Restrictor Plate (2016 model). I can't believe how much better I can play now! Definitely recommended.
I like the built-in cable storage box, but I think that I would have preferred a standard detachable USB cable rather than the fixed (non-removable) USB cable that it comes with.
Most of the negative reviews here seem to be related to incompatibility with Windows. I haven't tried it on my PC, so I can't comment there. But for my intended purpose with XB1, this is insanely perfect. Thanks HORI!
*** UPDATE: 4/1/2019 ***
I just verified that this is working flawlessly with Windows 10! I put it in "360" mode (switch on the side), plugged it in and Windows sort-of recognized it. It created a device, but wasn't identified as a game pad. I found it listed somewhere in Windows' Device Manager, right-clicked and selected properties, then driver tab, update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, select xbox 360 controller (or HORI....), OK / done, reboot. Then I fired up MAME, mapped the buttons and played my favorite arcade games until 2am on my HORI RAP V! Note that I didn't actually download any drivers for this to work. Super happy with this fight stick!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018The joystick at the outset is a very good brand with fantastic responsiveness. However, for my needs (Street Fighter) a square gate is difficult to use. Luckily, a very cheap modification solves this problem (KOWAL Hayabusa Octopus Octagonal Restrictor Plate [2016 Model]). I also changed the ball top for a bat top knob, but that was an even easier change.
The buttons are a bit too sensitive for my likes, as I grew up on arcade ones... which are higher and require more pressure. I find myself hitting buttons by accident on a pretty regular basis. I might change this in the future, but the ease in which I was able to change the gate makes me confident this will also be easy to do.
It's big enough to sit on your lap and not get juked around too much when the fight gets heated. Plus the padding makes it not as cold when I'm wearing shorts.
In all, this is a great controller for any fighting game on the Xbox that is a pretty close replica of what I remember from my time in mid-90's arcades!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016I am giving this 4/5 stars because of the price, the build quality and the fact that it does in fact work with XBox 360, Xbox One and PC in Xbox 360 mode. Honestly I would give this more like 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
The reason for the lack of stars is two things:
1. The Joystick - Now this is one of the most important pieces of an arcade stick, and I don't like the way the stick flows. It gets stuck on diagonals because of whatever it is underneath that catches the stick is in a square shape. So when you go for down to right quarter circle half the time it gets tripped up on the diagonal and doesn't do the fireball or shoryuken etc. I have seen sticks like this in the past. I'm not a fan.
This has been the main cause of losses playing SFV and SSF2 Turbo.
I also don't like the ball, though that is a minor minor thing. Not a big deal, especially with the low price, though they could've included a different handle.
2. The location of the start/select buttons. Having the buttons where they are is just weird. They should have placed them above the action buttons towards the top like every other controller / fight stick / arcade system.
I definitely will be replacing the parts in this controller with a different joystick, and different buttons (just bc I am a fan of the Happ concave buttons).
Now this isn't that bad of a thing. It's very easy to replace parts and they cost almost nothing. You can go on eBay and get buttons for like $1 each and a joystick for like $4. It's easily replaceable the only thing is you void the warranty by removing the tape, which I can't blame the manufacturer for because people will claim warranty after breaking the thing trying to customize it.
I am also considering drilling holes for select and start buttons if possible.
This stick is very sturdy btw.. It feels like arcade quality. You can really put a beating on it (now be reasonable :D) I also had it on a table playing while standing up and the stick stayed in place.

José SánchezReviewed in Spain on May 5, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Buen producto mala suerte.
Es un Joystick que por materiales y diseño es perfecto para juegos de lucha, una auténtica experiencia arcade en casa.
Buena suerte en cuanto a que lo compré a mitad de precio de segunda mano y aunque la descripción del artículo lo distiguía como aceptable al final resulto estar como nuevo, apenas con signos de uso. La mala pata fue que la palanca no funciona de ninguna manera, no lo reconoce windows 10 (los botones sin problema) y eso que probé en tres ordenadores distintos con todo tipo de soluciones pero todos los intentos fueron inútiles, estaba kaput.
El servicio de Amazon como siempre impecable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tres bon arcade stick.
Super stick arcade, habitué au jeu manette depuis plus de 20 ans. J'avais eu un stick sur xbox mais moyenne experience. Celui ci le top. Stick restrictor gate, y a tout qui sort soryuken compris, pareil les boutons presque trop réactif. Le format 'gros' mais c'est bien. Marche bien sur pc et raspberry pi . Beau, juste dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de plexi dessus mais ca s'achete je verrai plus tard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente precio y calidad.
Excelente opción para los que extrañan jugar como en las arcades.. Plug and play. Sus componentes son y se sienten de la mejor calidad ademas de que se pueden reemplazar cuando sea necesario. Feliz con la compra. El precio es mucho mejor que en otros sitios de compras en línea. Solo ojala no se los envíen por estafeta, su servicio es pésimo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottima periferica.
I tasti sono molto sensibili e lo stick preciso. Non pensate per questo di poter diventare degli esperti nei picchiaduro senza un duraturo allenamento. Comunque si tratta di un ottimo Fighting Stick, di livello professionale.

This is the first fight stick I ever used and it's great. Didn't take long to transition from a regular controller to this and I felt a lot more capable of doing combos. It's also easier to perform combos on both sides of the screen because I'm using my hand rather than just my thumb as you would with a regular controller.
The with is very nice as it feels like u have a nice stable surface to work with and the pads it comes with underneath are a nice touch to keep it stable.
