Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Special Edition

The Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick is a Japanese-style joystick designed specifically for fighting game fans to “put new levels of control and precision in the palms of their hands.” Built primarily for Street Fighter IV players, the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick features an 8-button layout with additional multi-speed Turbo functionality, a USB port for connecting to a console, and a 4 M wired cable.

The Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick retails for $79.99 and is offered in an Xbox 360 model and a Playstation 3 model. The Street Fighter IV FightStick can also be connected to the PC for games that support Xbox 360 / PS3 gamepad controllers. The Special Edition differs from the Tournament Edition in both the external and internal designs. The SE is smaller, and weighs less, though the overall button placement remains the same. Internally the Tournament Edition uses better arcade-quality parts. The Xbox 360 version of the arcade stick has a headset port but requires the use of an included adapter to plug in correctly.
