The 5 dollar Mame stick

Xbox 360 Tekken 6 stick-$3
USB Gravis Gamepad Pro-$2

Hard to tell from the pic, but the Gravis pcb is insulated so nothing can be shorted out.

I have a PowerRamp arcade stick that uses keyboard emulation and is good for Dos stuff, and I have two arcade sticks modded to be db15 gravis gamepad and gamepad pro/GRIP support, but I really needed one more for XP/Win 7 USB wise, so this finishes things off.

looking good! I don't know much about newer consoles but I thought the 360 used USB and was compatible with PC? I guess that's not true?

Sadly this stick was wireless for 360 until I got my greedy mitts on it.

As long as the 360 controllers are wired you shouldn't have problems connecting it to pc.

I have that stick for my 360 and I love it.  Great quality, really good action, and a bargain for $3.  I think mine was about £20 a few years back brand new with Tekken.

I love a bit of Samurai Shodown or Street Fighter 3 with that stick.

As for Mame, I got 2 of those Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Wii sticks and a duo USB adaptor for them for about £30 total

To be honest I don't consider it to be the greatest quality. In fact, considering its a Hori stick, I'm surprised at how cheap the buttons themselves feel, and I am considering replacing them. It'll do fine for some casual Mame play, but there is no way I'd try using this stick in some sort of competition play. Maybe I am being critical, but I simply expected better from Hori. Even their older Gamecube Soul Calibur stick felt better then this one. But yeah, for being a $5 project, it worked out well.
