!Agetec Arcade Stick
|Dreamcast
|The "official" arcade stick for the Dreamcast (Not made by SEGA). Since the Dreamcast has an amazing library of fighting games and the standard DC isn't the best for those you might want to pick one up. Might want to mod for best results, <s>Sanwa stick and buttons are good</s> The stock buttons and stick are not Sanwa, but rather Sega's own proprietary design. In order to use Sanwa buttons on this you're gonna need to use a dremel to widen the holes for Sanwa's wider buttons.

|The closest thing to a Swiss army knife of controllers at the time it was made. This 2 player behemoth features near arcade quality parts and micro switches. Also the perfect controller for twin stick shooters.

!Namco Arcade Stick
|PS1
|One of the better arcade sticks of its time. Was one of, if not the first stick to utilize Hori's arcade buttons.

!MAS Systems Arcade Stick
|Various Versions exist, supporting a various number of consoles
|These are the sticks you will see grey hairs such as Alex Valle, John Choi, and other older American Fighting Game Players pull out when its time to play sets at EVO. Typically comes with Older HAPP/Industrias Lorenzo buttons and sticks, and has the same straight button layout typical of classic western arcade machines. Famous for being ungoldly heavy. You are not going to play anything with this on your lap, but that also means the stick isn't gonna shake or move around on a sturdy surface.

[https://www.scanlinecity.com/masbuild?scrollToProduct=mas-classic-retro Newer versions of the MAS are back in production again]. With both the classic layout and buttons, and a more modern vewlix layout with Japanese sized buttons, and sticks.

!Sega Virtua Stick High Grade
|PS3
|Near exact replica of Virtua Fighter 5's arcade controls, even down to the minor VF layout alterations to the standard vewlix layout.

!Mad Catz FightStick Tournament Edition
|Xbox 360, PS3, Windows, Most Linux Variants
|The 09ers Arcade Stick of choice. Uses all Sanwa parts in its construction and was partially design the replicate the layout of Street Fighter IV's arcade cab. This is probably one of the best arcade sticks ever made. Due to being extremely common, there exist many face plate options for this stick by comparison to most of its contemporaries.

!Hori RAP V.3 VLX
|Xbox 360, PS3, Windows, Most Linux Variants
|See above but slightly more faithful to the arcade cabinet. Later versions use Hori's Hayabusa switches which might be a turn off.

!Razer Panthera
|PS4, PS3, Windows
|Probably the best traditional arcade stick released since the Mad Catz TE. Just like that stick, the faceplate options are extremely varied due to a high adoption rate. Unlike that stick however, this is a DIYers wet dream, with a push button being the only thing between you, and the insides.

The original version is preferred over the EVO Variant but be warned, the original stick uses a unique connector only made for this one controller.

!Hitbox
|Various Versions exist, supporting a various number of consoles
|The controller that sparked a number of debates about leverless control legality, despite stock console controllers being just as easy to cheese with in fighting game tournaments. Regardless, these controllers are widely known for typically being far more ergonomic than their competition. It should be noted that various companies make this type of controller and offer various various switch types. Traditional arcade switches, cherry mx switches, and even low profile keyboard switches can be found on these things. If hand pain is a concern then this, and the next controller, should be higher on your considerations.

!The B0XX
|Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube (And any system or game that supports that controller), Windows, MacOS, Most Linux Variants, iOS, Android
|Hitbox designed with Smash Bros players in mind. Designed and programed to be capable of hitting every relevant corresponding joystick input in Melee. As with other Hitbox variants, there's a wide variety of micro switch options to choose from. There is even a port for the Wii Nunchuck if one wishes to still play using analog inputs.
