Got my 8bitdo Arcade Stick and have had a bit of time to play around with it. The stick and buttons it came with actually weren't too bad. They were just *a bit* sloppy compared to the Sanwa parts that replaced them but I probably would have left it stock if I didn't already have the Sanwa stick+buttons on hand. Far closer than I would have expected.
The process of upgrading the buttons+stick is trivial but soldering *is* required and the wire management could have been better from the factory.
The 8bitdo software for Windows is absolute trash in my experience. By far my biggest gripe is that, without it, the Player 1 and Player 2 buttons are essentially useless.
Porkchop Express to the rescue with his indispensable lag spreadsheet. It's already been updated to include this stick and and the results are... disappointing and bizarre. Bluetooth has the fastest average over both 2.4Ghz and wired.
Not too shabby for $90 but I wish manufacturers who cater to our niche put more effort into performance instead of just cramming as many features into their products as possible. This is no substitute for the Brook Wireless Fighting Board but it's a nice toy to have around when I feel like playing games on my MiSTer with an arcade stick.

Amazing stick, and truly "Ultra-moddable"
2020年11月19日 在美国审核
This is an absolutely fantastic arcade stick! I've recently really gotten into fighting games such as Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, and some older ones like Darkstalkers, and immediately recognized the benefits of having an arcade stick. I was overwhelmed with the choices and variety of them, but ultimately decided to go with this one because of my positive experience with using 8bitdo's SN30 Pro Plus controllers.2020年11月19日 在美国审核
And I'm so glad I did! The stick is clicky and responsive. The whole unit has a good amount of weight to it, along with nice grippy rubber feet to ensure that it won't move around while you're in the middle of throwing Sonic Booms and whatnot.
My one and only gripe about this arcade stick involves had to do with how it is marketed. In the pictures here and on the 8bitdo website, as well as in a response from the company above, they say that the unit is "ultra-moddable", and show you the inside of the unit. This is great, because the buttons are a bit too "mushy" for my taste, and I wanted to swap them out for GamerFinger buttons that use Cherry MX switches.
HOWEVER... The one thing that 8bitdo never mentions is that in order to open up the stick to mod it, you need to have a Torx screwdriver, because all the screws on the outside of the stick use small star-shaped Torx screws rather than the more standard Phillips or flathead screws. This means you can't take advantage of the "Ultra-moddability" unless you happen to already have a Torx driver in your toolbox.
After opening it up, I easily swapped out the stock buttons for 8 30mm GamerFinger snap-style buttons, along with an octagonal JLF-compatible gate for the stick. However, the buttons labeled 1P and 2P are 24mm buttons, and I only had screw-in style 24mm buttons. The stick does not provide enough clearance to use screw-in style buttons, so here's a heads up so you don't order the wrong type of buttons.
Overall, I love this stick, and would highly recommend it!
