In search for an arcade stick I find garbage(rant); Brad Nicholson's dream comes true.
de BLOO | 8:00 PM on 06.15.2009 8 comments


This really irks me.



Ok really? Most ,if not all, arcade stick buyers are looking for a stick with a heavy weight to it, we don't want it moving while we rush that shit down. Another thing, its pretty clear he just soldered the buttons and stick to the 360's PCB...well I'm not entirely sure but I think most companies that make genuine sticks don't. Then comes the entire pitch of this guy's idea, and the want of Brad Nicholson, a wireless arcade stick. Anybody serious about their fighting games know that when playing on a console, a wire is a must. Even if your holding that stick as close as you can to your 360/PS3 there will still be lag, fuck that shit puto. Then comes the part that really irks me, the way that jerk picks up the stick. That will fuck it up so badly.


AND LOOK HOW WELL IT WORKS!!!!



My god, I can't believe he has an arcade stick and I'm stuck with the 360 controller....

Hori is hot, but I'm still waiting out the TE Stick's return. :(
Bulkmailer's Destructoid Blog
That black Hori is buttery but I wish they would tell you the weight.
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
No problem de BLOO!
Also, @ Bulkmailer, I think it's about 6 pounds/ 2.6kg if it's at all similar to the PS3 HRAPs.

I loooooove my TE stick. Got a laser cut plexi top for it, too.. with the 6 button layout. Perhaps I should blog about it.
