I'm looking to buy a high quality stick to connect to my PC to play games on MAME displayed on my lcd tv. I love the look of the custom sticks you guys make but the skill required is beyond me. So I'm after a pre-built stick.

The one I'm considering is the HORI Real Arcade Pro Stick 3.

It is actually a Playstation 3 stick, but it is usb and confirmed to work on a PC.
It is kind of expensive though, £46 + £35 shipping

I'd really like to hear your opinions and suggestions.

*I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, I hope this is fine

You can't go wrong with the Real Arcade Pro. The only thing that sucks about them is that they don't use Sanwa buttons. But they can be easily changed. I have a HRAP2 with a USB adapter and it works great. If you have the cash for it I say get it.
Another good stick is the Virtua Fighter 5 High Grade that Sega put out. Its alot like the HRAP3 but has Sanwa buttons and slightly different button layout.

The Hori EX sticks are kind of shit in comparison to the HRAP but they are a cheaper alternative.

I'm going for the EX2. £30 shipped as apposed to the HRAP3 at over £80.

Anyways if you have used the EX2 or have something to say about it I'd love to hear it.
