It is not like the Namco stick for PS1, at all. I have both. The Namco stick has a sawna feel (but isn't, I don't think), but it is a step in the right direction. The construction on the Namco is also solid, with a metal base. I like the Namco stick, it does have that "arcade feel".
This stick for snes is plastic with weird tiny buttons, an ergonomic? layout, and a crap stick. But it is the only SNES stick I own, I doubt any other readily available sticks from this era are that much better, if at all.
