I'm 6'3" and I like how it sits on my lap.
Ah, the Bentley of arcade sticks. They don't call it premium for nothing. I have seen people create their own arcade cabinet from these. Just a tip, I would put a heavy Seimitsu spring inside that start button to reduce probability of pausing during play. Thanks for the review, Aris.
Which websites do you recommend to buy this stick from, Aris? Also, where do I go to buy replacement buttons? A button was sticking on my MVC3 TE, then the button fell into the stick. Weird, but I do tend to hit the buttons hard and this is not the first time I broke a button on a stick I own.
That tip in the movement tutorial about holding the ball top with my fingers and thumb instead of my hand is turning me into a ball top lover! It does not take a toll on my wrist, which using a bat top the way I used to does.
Also, what do you use to wash the surface of the stick? Windex? I have sweaty hands when I play sometimes.
@Forest, You can probably find this stick cheap on Amazon. I not, Hori's official site I guess. Buttons you can get from LizardLick.com. I use a cloth for stick cleaning. Wouldn't use any liquid cleaner.
Aris, if you're interested, you can get the Namco TE stick separately now:

Cool thanks Aris.
