Talk:Pelican Accessories PL-631 Arcade Joystick (PS2)/@comment-2605:6000:1B05:41BC:A91D:9910:A312:CD75-20181107202134

This is a terrible entry regarding this arcade stick. Not sure who wrote it, but it totally lacks any real information about the stick...much like the video being referenced.

How about a proper review?

As someone that has owned this stick for some years, I have to state that the buttons are stiff. The stick doesn't have the best flow, but it works. This is a solid built stick, however. After a couple of decades of use, the stick still works great. Sure, the buttons could go for a cleaning, but they also still work. I find the overall construction of the stick to be comfortable, and sturdy. I don't feel as if the stick is going to slick out from under me, or my hands would slip off either. The Turbo feature is a bit "confusing" as each button doesn't have a dedicated turbo switch, but rather you use a combination of the turbo button with the designated button you wish to activate turbo on. The Program feature is also a bit of a tedious setup.

This stick stands out for a couple things. The joystick travels into "corners" under the rounded hole it lives in. These corners are set at the N S E W postions. I have had some 3rd party sticks back in the day, and they would also have these strange corners...but in the NE SE NW SW positions....which made fighters more difficult. Honestly, I'd prefer a stick like these without the corners hidden down there. (THe NES Advantage and Genesis  Ascii stick have this same issue).

This stick is best for fighters, and arcade style games. I don't recommend it for everyday use for non-arcade style games. Stick to your joypads for those.

Over all on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this Arcade Fighting Stick a 6 out of 10, just above average.
