Looking for a good arcade stick to go along with your gaming set up at home? Well, have you ever considered the Exarstick? This controller is as close as it can get to the arcades, thanks to its arcade-standard square gate. The Exarstick comes with Minus and Plus buttons which are mapped to a couple of oval-shaped buttons on the top row, matching both Select and Start buttons on the SNES controller. Some of the gripes reported include its relatively lightweight construction that doesn't work too well where stability is concerned especially when things get too franctic on screen. As for the buttons, the limited tactile feedback might detract from the experience, although getting used to it would mean a faster response time (since there is less distance to push down).
