I just wanted to know if any of you out there had an Xarcade stick and I would like your opinion on it. Does any body know if the xbox adaptor lets me use the headset on Live play w/ CvS?
Also, does anybody know if Jedi Academy is going to be Live compatible? Thanks guys!

I have the X-Arcade dual stick, and it KICKS ASS! I have the XBox adapter as well, but so far I've just been using it with my computer.

I've read this joystick has lag issues with xbox, especially when playing CVS2 online.

I have an xarcade stick as well. Like everyone says, it kicks ass. I only have the DC and Xbox adapters for it though. I don't know about the live stuff, I've never gone online with my xbox.

I mainly use the stick to play fighting and shooting games. The stick feels better than most "real" arcade joysticks, less wear and tear. I've never noticed any sort of lag whatsoever with my xarcade while playing SC2 on xbox.

Xarcade has great customer service too. If anything goes wrong. they'll send you a new one free of charge.

Thread where users describe lag issues...

Yup - there IS a latency problem.

I actually met with Shawn, the president, to demonstrate the problem. Unfortunately, they have not been able to find the solution. The lag only occurs on the xbox adapter - if you plan on using this with a PS2, Gamecube, or a PC - then you will be fine.

The problem also occurs offline - I notice a slight lag when I play games on the XBOX through this joystick. When playing on XBOX live, the problem is amplified.
