I'm looking to pick a few up but before I spend the money, I want to make sure they are worth it.

Are they heavy and well built? How is the joystick action?

Thanks!

They're absolutelly tops.

The Joy moves easier and it's a fucking solid joystick.

The turbo switches are superb to play shooters ( actually they'll save some button mashing ! tickled )

Get one. you won't be dissapointed. wink

I'm looking to pick up the XBox ones to this is reassuring. They aren't cheap so I just wanted to make sure.

Anyone else have opinions?

I have 2 for the saturn, 1 for PSX. I like the joystick part alot, but I don't like the buttons, they don't seem to "click" as well as they should (certainly a far cry from an arcade control-type buttons you can get from Happ Controls). I don't know if these are any different from the latest from Horii tho.

LOL! That's exactly why I like the Hori sticks. I hate the microswitch click.

Get the Magic Box and a Virtua Stick(import,strictly), or a Hori Fighting Stick for the Saturn.

Two of the best Arcade Sticks,period.

Why is the Hori Saturn stick better than the XBox stick?

From what I can see, the XBox one is larger/thicker than the Saturn one, looks better built, and it supports XBox Live which is good for Capcom Vs. SNK EO and hopefully Chaos in the future.

Well,It's just an option.

If you have a Magic Box,you can use the other joysticks on the Xbox.

Personally,I like the import Virtua Stick and the older Hori Sticks best.

Never had a chance to use the Xbox revision,so I can't tell you if it's better or worse.

I'm sure it's tops,though.

Horis are the nuts they are actually sturdier (is that a word?) than the Neo Old Style Joy Sticks.

Yeah,the Hori's are much more sturdy than any other Arcade Sticks I've ever seen.

It's built like a tank.Made of die-cast metal,the Hori Stick can take a beating,even from the most punishing players.
