I initially bought 2 of these for my MAME PC set up and sent them straight back. I was a tad hasty to be fair, and I quickly learned it’s important to do your research when purchasing something without a recommendation.Needless to say, I ordered another from Amazon Warehouse (saves another £3 odd) and I have subsequently ordered another one for some 2 player MAME action.The main issue? Windows sees the joystick as the ‘hat’ of the controller. Using the ‘Home’ and ‘Turbo’ buttons allows you to switch between normal joystick mode and ‘hat’. The best way to see this in action is using the Controllers app in Windows. This is also a handy way to understand the button mapping, which is a little bit odd in my opinion.

If you are after a cheap and cheerful arcade controller then this fits the bill perfectly. According to the literature it has Sanwa buttons (advertised as a good thing??), but they do feel a little cheap and rattly. The buttons lack that reassuring definite click which I get from my 1980's full size arcade cabinet. The rest of the build quality is pretty good though with a sturdy plastic enclosure.It worked great over USB (not tested with PS2/3) and functions well with a Raspberry Pi. RetroPie software detects the controller straight away and and prompts the controller mapping with no fuss. The only thing I did notice is that the "Home" button does not seem to be detected by RetroPie.

Lioncast Arcade Fighting Stick PC is a good product.It is robustly made, well finished and perfectly functional.I use it for my PC based retro arcade (Mame) in which it performs wonderfully. The buttons are well placed and the unit sits firmly on my lap or on a desk (whichever you choose should be fine). The only snag I have are that the amount of wrist rest for the right hand (holding the stick) is not quite enough for me, it causes my palm to rest on the edge of the unit which gets uncomfortable, but for the money it is great.

I use this on my raspberry pi. It worked well buttons were easily customised. Only issue I had was the small top buttons don’t work with the pi. I’m sure it works for other gaming formats but not the raspberry pi a little disappointing but with 8 buttons I used them instead. Very good value for money. Nice and chunky. feels better quality than the price. I would recommend this and would buy another one. The buttons feel like PlayStation buttons not the micro clicky switches of an arcade unit.

The joystick is very good for the price. Honestly, I expected it to be much worse.It's not clearly as good and accurate as more expensive ones like sanwa, hori, etc. and if you only like those, don't buy this one. But if you just want a cheap one for some random arcade playing this is just perfect.Worked plug and play with windows 10 without the need of installing any drivers. Works with Joy2key also.It has autofire and analog/digital options for extra compatibility.

The Joystick turned out to be somewhat larger than I expected and the so called manual is just one sheet with minimal instructions and half of those are in German.This is why I only gave four stars rather than five. It took some searching on the internet to find out how to get the stick to work with my Mame games but once set up works well and seems well made.

Really like this stick, haven't had one before, so im sure theres better ones out there, but for the money it's a good choice for those who want to get better at fighting games and such. I already saw the difference in playing on the day it arrived. Way better in all the games I've tried it on so far. Can't fault it in any way..

I definitely love this Arcade stick. I am not expert in peripherals but cannot recommend this enough for the price and the overall performance. I end up using it for all my emulation and gaming. A totally new gaming experience, ditch the joypad.

Nice solid design, feels like it can withstand an arcade style thrashing when playing beat em ups. Works brilliantly with a raspberry pi with minimal setup. Very happy with the purchase.

It does what it says it will do !I’m using it on a mame setup on a MAC. Yes this stick works on a Mac running latest OSX as of May 2020 with no additional software, just plug and play.

Works well but you have to allocate buttons to suit your needs according to the games or emulators you use. Once you have done that, gaming is fun using retro features.

Good sized fighting stick. Button action is a little shallow so feels a little off. Otherwise great for fighting games and arcade classics played on RetroPi

The stick is not bad and I think it is good for the price. Could be worst.I have been using it for a week now without any problem.

Nice controller. Took a few minutes to set it up on windows 10 but got there in the end. Using it with M.A.M.E working fine.
