Is this new wireless arcade joystick any good?

Jedah Doma · Jun 15, 2005

I just saw this on the Gamestop website. I didn't know if it's any good. It's made by Naki so I'm not too sure about the build. Anyone checked this out?

Wireless joystick!? Awesome, I want one too but we need some opinions first!

Jedah Doma · Jun 15, 2005

Yes indeed, any info would be appreciated.

Wow!...that does not look too bad at all....good price ....a 'fighting' stick...would have to be well made & sturdy...but i feel any controller thats wireless does tend to be cheaply made...IMHO.

Curt · Jun 16, 2005

Wow, that stick looks pretty damn alright.

I wonder how performance would be, and if the inputs have any lag to the machine.

That might be just the ticket for me and XBL.

Well...yes...that was a good one & well made as ALL nintendo gear is....the only thing that annoyed me with that one was the lack of the old rumbellows...

Not just a modern day version of infa-red then, or maybe a variant of bluetooth.

kernow needs to get the nintendopenis out of his ass.

Nintendo hardly invented the WIRELESS controller.

get the fuck over it.

the n64's controller sure was a piece of shit quality wise.

I guess I'll just have to pick it up, play it, and if it sucks, return it. Gotta love retail.

Please report back whether this is good or not, since this has not been answered amidst all TEH DRAMA!

so they finally brought these over to the U.S. people sell these on ebay all the time. But this is the first time I've seen these wireless. The price is reasonable, if you import one it will cost the same or probably a little more.

If it's moddable, then thats a plus.

Sheik Elite · Jun 16, 2005

I like the looks of it generally speaking, but the button layout looks a little awkward. It looks a little like a JPN layout, but doesn't look to have much curvature at all to it - basically looks like a straight line.

Konig · Jun 16, 2005

Seems all the wireless stuff I have tried is light weight, cheap crap. I have yet to find one I can use comfortably. If it doesn't have any weight to it, I cant use it worth a damn.... Id rather have an 8 lb chorded setup anyday...rock solid :buttrock:

Yodd · Jun 16, 2005

You could just take and gut it for the wireless electronics and then reuse them in your own arcade stick.

Probably wouldn't be too much involved.

Are you shitting me? You are, right?

If not this is the fanboyest thing I have read on this site to date.

ALL of that shit can be chalked up simply to the evolution of game hardware....analog stick? Chor-fucking-tle
