What makes you think they are analogue? Trust me, the Sanwa JLF joysticks are digital. I built myself an aracde stick for the 360 about 6 months ago and the parts alone cost me £50 (about $90-100). That’s without considering the time I spent making the case, soldering and fitting everything together. These aren’t too bad an alternative if you’re lazy.

Another waste of time “arcade” stick. The joysticks are analogue. What we need is a proper digital stick for the retro games. A stick that directly replaces the D-Pad. All these “arcade” sticks are just the 360 controller in a different box. And this particular example isn’t even compatible with the 360 headset. How daft is that?

One alternative is a site like this: http://arcadecontrols.com/
If you don’t have two left hands it could be worth a look.
I have no idea how much a custom, home built controller would cost, but perhaps it’s cheaper, and obviously you can make it even better suited for whatever personal needs you have.

what a joke, why would you pay 150 bucks for a controller for a $10 game
