Pro Stick. Impressions?

My CD pad just buggered out so I'm wondering how the Pro Stick is. I'm not too fond of the super clicky stock neo stick. Is the Pro stick any better?

The pro-stick is great if you've got to use it casually on your lap or the ground in front of you while laying around. I use it a lot more than the regular stick---but just because I dont want to ruin the regular one heh...

The pro stick uses microswitches just like the old style stick, so there is the same degree of clicking that you find annoying. Personally, I love microswitched controllers as they are the closest to coin-op controls.

The PRo stick is great...I use it all the time. It feels more "solid" than the old style stick and is less noisey when you press the ABCD buttons! Get one, they are well worth it!

EH! Old style sticks gets only noisy if you're a button masher !

I can now play them without making significant noise ( took a while tough ! ), and the buttons will thnak you for not mashing them ! tickled smirk

Prostick is awesome!

The button layout is so much better than old style. The old style button layout would always hurt my wrist. I have to put my arm on such a slant to keep all my fingers on the buttons. (yes im wierd)

It's overall more comfortable than the old style.

I like the clicks they actually can help me do moves.

One problem you might have with it though is the stick itself is quite small. Smaller than the old style stick. So if you have big hands it might be hard for you to do rotations with it.

The clicks really through me off at first, but know I never notice them or I play smooth. When my bro plays with me I give him my beater old-style and man do I hear that clicking.

The pro-stick only played with it once at a friends, I prefer the old-style cause its bigger. Could always get a MAS systems stick, now those a slick sticks. Too bad there $100+ though.

It's not the buttons I have a problem with. It's the stick it's self. I am used to perfect 360 joysticks and at very least the Happ competition sticks. To me the Neo stick feels kinda shoddy. Loose and VERY square. I tend to be pretty precise on the movement and the micros kinda trip me up. I'm not bashing the Neo stick, it's just not my style.

I have a MAS for my DC. VERY VERY nice sticks. Far better than X-arcade. I was kinda hoping the pro stick was not clicky since the MAS cost a lot and I'd really rather have the neo 4 button face and all they offer is six. I had them build my DC stick from a Super Nova stick case since I didn't want all the clutter of useless conversion buttons. (got this stick for SF3 at home)

Thanks for all the imput guys! I may try a pro stick if I can find one cheap enough. If not I may buy a Mas and mod it's button plate.
