Anyone tried the eclipse stick?

[Buffi]

I really need 2 nice arcade sticks for my saturn and I've been looking around a bit for some sticks that looks interesting.

After a while I found this stick quiet cheap and was wondering if it is any good?

Anyone tried it?

(Can't wait to play dynamite deka with a arcade stick just like I did in the arcades many years ago 🙂 )

I've got one and have enjoyed using it for years. Now I predominantly use my ASCII stick, but truthfully, the eclipse often made it easier to do combo's etc. since it is pretty sensitive. One possible problem is that (if I remember right) the buttons would occasionally get stuck. It has a combo program mode too, but I never learned(or cared to learn) how to use it. So in th end it's got a great stick and OK buttons. As good as any on the Saturn that I've aware of. Probable the smallest too.

I have one. It aint bad. Little small, but seems fairly well built. I still prefer the offical Virtua Stick, but it's a decent alternative. I got mine a while back on clearance at TRU

You should be aware that the Saturn official stick isn't high-quality like the DC one. It's a decent enough stick as far as older arcade sticks go, but it's all plastic and uses those little 'squish pads' like a controller, not microswitches.
