Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall: A Review

If you're an arcade enthusiast or a gaming aficionado, you know how important a high-quality joystick is. It can make or break your gaming experience. With so many options available in the market, it becomes difficult to choose which one will enhance your gameplay and provide durability. In this review, we will talk about the Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall.

Design and Build

This joystick has a long shaft of 3.25 inches from base to ball top, and 2 inches from base to the top of the ball thread. It also has the unique feature to switch between 2, 4, or 8 way operation by adjusting the restrictor plate. It is designed to be used with wood cabinets and has standard 0.187 connector tabs. It is advertised as a durable and easy-to-operate product.

Upon receiving the joystick, it looked impressive. The bright yellow ball on top of the joystick adds a playful touch while still looking professional. The joystick itself is made out of high-quality material. When examined more closely, you could see the care and effort put into constructing it. However, upon further inspection, we noticed the restrictor plate's screws were loose, and upon removing it, we found that it was poorly painted.

Overall, the joystick's build seemed sturdy, but the quality didn't meet our expectations.

Performance

We tested the joystick on various games, from classic arcade fighters to modern fighting games, to see how it performed. We didn't have any issues on arcade fighters, but when we tried it out on some modern fighting games, we experienced some lag and responsiveness issues. It was challenging to execute certain combos and movements, and it felt like the joystick wasn't picking up our inputs.

The restrictor plate's feature was a plus point, and switching between 2, 4, or 8 way operation was easy. It allowed us to customize our gameplay experience to our preferences, and we appreciated the versatility. However, the execution of movements was still slow and unresponsive.

Customer Reviews

We scoured the internet for other customer reviews of the Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall. Unfortunately, out of the two reviews we found, both were negative.

Conclusion

After our thorough review of the Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall, we concluded that it has its fair share of flaws. While the design and build were impressive at first, the quality didn't meet our expectations. We also found some issues with responsiveness and lag when it came to executing moves.

If you're looking for a joystick to enhance your classic arcade gaming experience, the Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall may be a decent option. However, if you're looking for a joystick to use on modern fighting games, we suggest looking into other options.

Overall, we give the Atomic Market 2/4/8 Way Adjustable Arcade Joystick PC Fighting Stick Parts for Video Game Arcade Yellow Ball Tall a rating of 2 out of 5 stars.
