So I am very interested in arcade sticks but I am limited on money... I would build my own but like I said I don't have that much money yet, eventough I want to start training on a stick(That is why I don't need a good one I just want to get used to play on an arcade stick). So I want something cheap and something you can play on for a while.

What are your opnions about this one?

So basically I need help to find an okay stick to start playing with. :D
 
I started out on Madcatz TE stick. It's very durable and well made. I think they cost right around 100 US dollars on amazon. Just save up enough cash to purchase a quality stick so it will last awhile.

When making the switch from pad to stick your gameplay will suffer until you practice on it for awhile. Some get frustrated and just give up on it without dedicating the time needed to adjust. Don't do this! With a little time, cussing and losses (this will happen lol) the dedication will payoff in the end. My gameplay i feel is greatly improved and now when I try to play pad I just can't go back. Good luck!
 
Well my plan is to build my own arcade stick. And if I buy the one I posted I would just buy the buttons and stick some wires and everything else you need to wire that up. I would use the PCB given in the arcade stick I'll buy to save some money. This way I can start practicing soon and pay for quallity stuff when I have the money. I mean if I buy the 30,-€ stick from Amazon I can start getting used to it next month and I don't have to wait 3 or 4 months in which I can't buy anything.
And that you have to get used to a stick after switching to it is the reason I don't want to wait that long with buying it.

And the stick you started out with costs about 150,-€ on Amazon(in germany) and shipping it from america to germany is probably even more expensive or close to that price which is a little much considering that if I mod the 30,-€ Stick it will be around 60,- to 90,-€.
 
That one would work but I think I will buy the one I posted because it is cheaper (40,-€ on amazon). And the good thing about the stick I posted it is already dual modded (so I can use it for my Ps3, Xbox 360(if I had one) or PC and might Wii but I am not sure about the last one).
But still thank you for trying to help me. :D

*Edit* So for future readers if you find a stick that costs less than 30,-€ than I would apreciate if you respond to this post. If you don't know any cheaper sticks then thanks for checking the thread anyways.
