Pros

Sanwa *, are amazing and the joysticks are so much better than the previous cheaper ones i had. It's nice and springy and clicky in the best possible way. The clicking is a little quieter and less cheap sounding than the stock sticks in the arcade1up ... Read More

Competitiveness

While not top-of-the-line sanwas, they're more than enough for most users.
