If you can find the Tekken 5 Hori stick on sale at EB ($30!) jump all over that. I'm sure there's something uber leet, but these are great sticks and the price is killer.

The Japanese Hori sticks are made of real arcade parts. They cost around 80-90 bucks.
The tekken 5 stick is made of slightly lower grade parts, but does the same thing, for about 30 bucks.

There's always the X-Arcade stick with PS2 adapter. That will run you $100, but they're built well and look pretty cool.

If you're playing the PS2 NeoGeo ports and want a Neo feel, go for the PS2 NeoGeo old style joystick.

I will pump up support for any Hori arcade stick... as they are definately worth the money. :)
I use the old school Namco arcade stick originally released around the Tekken 2 days and it is great. ;) You have to hit ebay for that one.

Play-Asia.com is selling the Hori Fighting Stick 2 on their site for around $50. Check it out here: Click Me (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-m-49-en-70-4ra.html)
Looks good and the price is right. I might have to get me a couple of these bad boys....

I'm surprised you're the first to mention that. I don't have one myself. I either fight on my Neo Geo, use my SF Anniversary PS2 pad or my USB Saturn PC controller. I'd probably pick up one of those PS2 Neo sticks if it wasn't for the fucked up trigger placement. For SNK games it's perfect but for anything that requires 6 buttons it's a dud. If you're a big SNK fan then I'd get one of these. That way when you build up your skills and you go head to head on a real Neo Geo, you'll be 100% comfortable with the stick. If you're a fan of any 6-button series...look elsewhere.
