      Playing arcade-style games in RetroPie just isn't the same for me on a game pad. Hopefully someone else here has tried some of these out and has a recommendation.

      I'm looking for an arcade stick + at least 6 buttons with a big sturdy base. Maybe something similar to this (if not this one):

      Anyone using something similar and have a recommendation? Thanks!

            I love my X-Arcade Tankstick. Plus it has a trackball for Golden Tee.

            The warranty is phenomenal too, plus they don't care if you modify it, they'll still support it. I got a refurb-they sell them for a pretty good discount.

              @fuzznuzzbit Wow that one's amazing... sort of "the dream" arcade stick setup. Not sure if I'll be able to justify the price for my needs but I'm certainly drooling ;0)

                  I bought this arcade controller and runs perfect:

                  In addition, it is compatible with sanwa pieces (if you break something you can repair it ^^).
