Hi,
I'm looking to get a Dreamcast Arcade-like joystick. I saw a few and wanted to ask if anyone here can recommend which is best. The Twinstick looks really cool, but I also see others for the system. I'd like to ask if anyone can comment on any of the arcade like sticks for the DC. I'm interested in the following features.

1. A two player console platform with arcade like sitcks and 3 or more fire buttons per control. (Like the original Twinstick Arcade Stick)

2. An arcadestick with a stick that is tight and gives good control just like the arcade controls on the arcade cabinets. I've played a few arcadelike joysticks for the PC and my old Playstation and the sticks were crap. I'd like a stick with tough tight sticks so they are accurately responsive and not cheaply made.

3. I haven't seen any, but is there any arcade stick with a trackball also on its base?

Well, I guess thats all for now. I plan on making emulation CDs for Atari 2600, 5200, 800/XE and other systems that are emulated on the Dreamcast. I'd like to have a really nice control stick

I just got one hell of a stick from EB ($4.00 brand new!!). It's loose, but it;s accurate as hell. No trouble playing SF III at all. I can't think of the name though.....Anyway, there is an official Sega stick but I don't have one unfortunately. I'm sure someone here does though..

Supposedly, the green and gray Ascii stick is very good, though I've never used one. I have a Topmax Enforcer, and for my 2D fighting needs, it holds up very well. You can score them pretty cheap, too, which is always a bonus.

Well you sais that you wanted one with two sticks on them so I would go for the Blaze Twin Stick.I was lucky and got mine at EB a few years ago.It is import and they are on eBay every once in a while.It is one of the best sticks I have ever used and the six buttons feel great.I think the stick is great for pulling off combos and such.Good luck finding one,they are worth it! :)
