Are they awesome enough to warrant the price? If not, got any alternatives?


I don't have an X-Arcade stick, but I do have the trackball they put out, and it's fantastic. Best and sturdiest trackball I've ever used. It's ENORMOUS, however. X-Arcade makes good stuff in general: the only thing to avoid is their cabinet for $2,995. That thing is ridiculous and I'm not saying it's seriously overpriced, only that it's a goofy solution and anyone... ANYONE can do it cheaper on their own.

The Tankstick appears to be their newest offering. I think it, and the Dual, have too small a footprint to realistically be a two-person fighting game solution, but the two joystick thing gets you Robotron playing nicely, so.

But yeah, I think your question is: do they make flimsy shit I'll regret purchasing? And they definitely do not. They are a great company that makes quality parts.

Their main competitor is SlikStik.
