Amazon.com Review
When hit games are ported from their bigger arcade cousins to a home console system, one factor that usually leaves the player wanting more is the control mechanism. Thankfully, with the ShadowBlade Arcade Stick, that element won't be an issue. This stick is very durable and very professional. The aluminum body, sturdy joystick, and button configuration were designed for fast-action PlayStation2 gaming in mind. This durable controller features an autofiring option, as well as great button placement for large and small hands alike. It also comes with a cord spindle in the base of the ShadowBlade, to keep things neat and tidy. This controller accessory is compatible also with the PS One. --Todd Mowatt
Amazon.com Product Description
What better way is there to celebrate the arcade-quality graphics and speed of the PlayStation2 than with arcade-quality control? The ShadowBlade has a durable, gearshift-style stick and eight easily reached buttons. And the unit's sleek black design and blue trim match the look of the PS2.

this product is horrable for arcades i got this for Metal slug sucks it evan sucks on fighters i was like omg dont get this its waste of money and time
20 bucks is too much for this thing July 5, 2005
I wouldn't take one of these for free. Overall, it's just made poorly. The stick is loose, and feels really cheap. Worse, it clicks quite loudly everytime you move it in a different direction. The buttons are pressure sensitive, which is really pointless seeing that the stick is made for arcade style games, which have no pressure sensitive buttons. These also click everytime you push them in. If you're looking for anything like a real arcade machine, steer clear of the shadowblade. I'd suggest any of the sticks mentioned in previous reviews, or if you've got the cash, an x-arcade with a ps2 adapter. Now if you'll excuse me... ima go play some kung fu with my nes advantage.

I bought this stick because I am an avid gamer, mostly of the fighting genre. I attend tournaments regularly for Tekken Tag and Tekken 4 so I wanted to use a stick instead of a pad so I bought this one because of its cheap price (other sticks tend to cost $50+), but I made the wrong choice. The stick itself is set in a square recession which makes the diagonals harder to hit and the buttons are of the "nipple" type instead of the standard pushbutton fare. The stick also requires much farther movement in order to get it to register.
This stick is also prone to break. I bought mine and played with it for 2 weeks and it broke. The stick stopped registering movement and several buttons ceased to work. I am very dissapointed in this stick. I would not recommend it to anyone. Even if you really need a stick, you should steer clear of this junk.
Instead of this stick, I suggest that you should try out MASSystem sticks, Namco/Hori sticks, or the elusive Korean Stick. These sticks are the most common at tournaments because they are the best.
Terrible product July 11, 2003

I tried this stick out to compliment my old Namco arcade stick. They shou'dve spent less time with the metal, and put more of the money into developing responsive buttons and a stick that registers motion correctly. None of the extra features matter if the basic design is flawed so deeply. A controller's first and really, only purpose is to enable you to move your character around smoothly onscreen. The Shadowblade fails at this. I've used Ascii sticks, Hori sticks, Mas sticks, and the Shadowblade isn't even close though it shares a similar price range. Shop around. There are way better sticks out there. Especially if you're a fighting game fan, you're just torturing yourself if you buy this mess.
 A good start June 27, 2003

I can somewhat agree with some of the reviews. This stick is a little stiff, but it's designed that way. It's metal for crying out loud. You can drive a car over the side with the buttons and it would still work. In the winter, it's a little cold on your lap but, again, it's metal. I've used it for fighting games and had very little difficulty adjusting to it's controls. It isn't really designed for RPG's, drivers, or shooters. It's well made, sturdy and dependable in my opinion. No. I do not work for a gaming company. haha Just an average couch potato gamer.
