the cheap ones are about $50 but they don't really last all that well and can be unreliable, if you want a solid one you're looking at spending about $130

also, you can only get sticks with square gates, the plastic piece that restricts the direction you can move the stick is just a square. Unless you're used to that i'd recommend getting an 8 way gate when i was growing up and arcades were still around US arcade boxes had the 8 way gates and that's all i can play with now.

It is a madcatz brawlstick, from the 360 days. I added my own joystick bat to it and changed the inside to be 8way restrictor way instead of 4. It has Sanwa inputs so much better than mayflash. They are like 70 used on Amazon. that is more than I paid back in the day. If you are into modding you can buy a cheap joystick case and change the parts out for better responsiveness. I get all my parts from Focus Attack

I'm so jelly. It was not out when I ordered mine like 2 months ago. It even has a touch pad! :C


Now, I DO NOT know how it actually IS, but from what I see on the madcatz description page it seems not(!) to be the case. Like this is the TES+:

http://eustore.madcatz.com/Categories-EU_2/fightsticks-category-EU/Street-Fighter-5-Arcade-FightStick-Tournament-Edition-S-for-PS4-PS3-EU.html#details-div


And this is the TE2:

http://eustore.madcatz.com/Categories-EU_2/fightsticks-category-EU/SFV-Arcade-FightStick-TE2-Chun-Li-PlayStation_2.html


I think it's suspicious how they use the easy modding of the TE2 as a selling point, but there is no mention of it on the TES+ page. So I can only assume the TES+ does not come with plexiglas for easy swapping of artworks. But I might be mistaken.


The more important missing feature is the octagonal gate. If you are anything like me, you want 8 reference points on the stick (forward, up, down, back + the diagonals). For that, I would suggest you to also order one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U/ref=pd_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=61uoIkzbIuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR159%2C160_&refRID=0BWE77QBAC38QZPYBDTE

The original gate you have in your madcatz stick is squared (only diagonal reference points). You can always try it out as it is and order it later if needed, mine arrived in like 4 days.

Just making sure you know this is a thing. (°v°)b

Razer Atrox(https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-controllers/razer-atrox-xbox-one) $200
Very simple to customize btw

Or

Hori RAP V. Kai(https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Arcade-Pro-V-Fighting-Stick-Windows/dp/B0136JP894) $150

A simple way to make these work on PS4 is using a X1 to PS4 converters.

Like the Brook converters for (https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-PS4-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48) $43.90

Pro Tip: Get a Octagonal Restrictor Plate (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004AU0H4U/ref=pd_aw_fbt_63_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3TFQJ8N725SNJZ5THP1J) $6.54

It's a matter of personal preference, but I'm a fightstick guy, so when I installed some of the buttons you used for a friend, they were way hard to press and somewhat rough feeling to me. I know the 90s arcade "feel" is "clicky" euro-style buttons, but when you get the urge to play around with the config, try some of these: https://paradisearcadeshop.com/en/home/controls/buttons/buttons-seimitsu/578-seimitsu-psl-30n

They aren't clicky, but the resistance is probably less than half (though not so little you'll accidentally press them like happens with Sanwas sometimes) and they are just buttery smooth. Arcade games are a very tactile thing to me and having some of these underhand is just so much more enjoyable. A cheaper and easier upgrade would be to swap in some good switches, like these: https://www.focusattack.com/cherry-d44x-75g-187-microswitch/

A third option is, if you want the true 90s feel, get real Happ or IL buttons. So far, I don't think Happ or IL are producing an LED version of the original, concave plunger classic buttons, but IL produces transparent ones. Put in these with a some cheap LED strips from amazon and you get the true classic feel with lights. Here they are:https://www.focusattack.com/il-psl-l-translucent-concave-long-stem-pushbutton-red/

Again, this is all personal preference, but of all the options available in controls these days, the ones you have may be the least enjoyable to play with. I understand why you got them though. If you aren't a fightstick person and absolutely obsessed controls snob, the bundles available on Amazon these days make a lot of sense. By the way, the JLF clones that came bundled with the buttons is alright. If I were you I wouldn't bother replacing it, but if you're playing much other than fighting games on it, you need octo-gates on them. Playing shooters with a square gate is frustrating. Playing Pac-Man on that is damn-near impossible. Here's the gates: https://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U

Again, really cool build.

Excellent answer, thanks.

I have the following coming this week:

Qanba joy stick

Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor

Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK OEM Red Ball Top Handle Arcade Joystick

Basic, middle of the road stuff. I was thinking of doing one of those Raspberry pi inside of a fight stick setups, but I kind of like the look of the Vilros mini NES.

Thanks again for the response.

Get a stick while you're at it?

http://www.amazon.com/JLF-TP-8YT-SK-Joystick-Adjustable-Tournament-Compatible/dp/B004CZQ058/ref=pd_sim_misc_4

http://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U/ref=pd_bxgy_misc_text_c

The last part I linked lets the stick be restricted to an octogon shape rather than the square gate that vanilla MadCatz sticks ship with. It's night and day for SPDs, but might feel off if you're already well used to doing SRKs with a square gate, etc. Just linking in case you're interested; I would personally never use it since I'm a charge fiend.

u/Selleal · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I'm looking to replace the square gate in my Qanba Q2 pro with this Sanwa GT-Y octagonal gate. Is there any size difference between mountings for gates that I should be looking for or is there a one-size-fits-all mounting?

u/Erosys · 1 pointr/Fighters

This was the one I was looking at specifically. (https://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U/ref=pd_bxgy_63_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004AU0H4U&pd_rd_r=VQ8SQBR63J75W000T081&pd_rd_w=oE2PY&pd_rd_wg=XYPss&psc=1&refRID=VQ8SQBR63J75W000T081)

I'm used to Dualshock sticks, which I think are octagonal. I'm not against learning squared ones though. I feel like getting a Sanwa would give me an excuse to learn how to work on a stick internally too.

And again, thanks a whole lot for the help.

u/Micetrap · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I can vouch for number 4), as I'm still always mashing my stick to the end of the gate. Definitely practice realizing that you do not have to mash the stick all the way till it stops.

Also I would invest in buying an octa-gate from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U). Its a preference thing, but it helps me when playing with Ryu and needing to get off a dp quickly. The madcatz TE sticks are nice cause you can just push the button to open the top and switch out the gate in all of about 15 secs.

I was also perplexed at first by the convex buttons, but they are second nature now, and I think I prefer them over the bowl shaped ones, but like others have said. These are easy to replace if you want something different.

Good Luck and stick with it!

u/bessle · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

I agree with /u/ChaosHat as someone who also used an octo gate for a while that life after using one is a bit better, but that's just personal preference.

Amazon actually has them in stock (and prime eligible to boot) but just know that right now if places aren't sold out, then they're selling for higher than usual. Gates are cheap enough though that the "higher than usual" price is still only $10.

u/Omgwhybro · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

If you buy a stick, especially the hori rap 4, make sure the gate is octagonal or circular. a majorty come with a Japanese square gate with the latter it will feel like the more traditional american arcade sticks.

u/-Rhombus- · 1 pointr/SF4

I'm used to the hold that Daigo is showing, currently trying to get used to it with 2 fingers on top, as personally i feel like my ring finger gets in the way of speed.

As for the gate: you've got to try what works. I grabbed an octo-gate and was riding the gate for a while. Friends tried to tell me how bad it was until one day i was playing locals and the stick i was using was a square so i just went with it. holy crap. i felt like the training wheels broke off of a bike while i was riding. Not only was i able to use less energy by throwing fireballs with a very small notation, but the "tiger knee" input became real, and it was like learning to shoryuken all over again.

if you're an amazon prime user, you can pick this one up and give it a try while getting it quickly and having amazon's easy return policy.

u/Topqt · 0 pointsr/SF4

Yeah the stick you linked is good. You can get an octo gate for an extra $9 or so here http://www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y

TBH you should just learn to play on a square though.

A few people have said, that you can get that stick for $79 shipped from madcatz during tournaments. That is kind of true, they usually offer $50 off (retail on their site is $129), however, they have been out of the stick for 360 for almost 3 weeks already, and you can see on amazon's site, they estimate 3-5 weeks before they get anymore.
