Fight Sticks for fighting games on PS4
Fighting games are one of the most popular and enduring genres in gaming. These games got their start in the Arcades for yesteryear where friends would battle each other to see who was the better player. Soon, the game made its way to home consoles and adapted itself to the console controller. However, the reliability, ergonomics and nostalgia factor of the arcades means that fight sticks never really went out of style. On top of this, fight sticks also make for a pretty cool collector’s piece. Here’s a look at some flight sticks for the PlayStation 4 that are available on Amazon. Do note that these products were selected based on their features and specifications on offer.
HORI Fighting Stick Mini 4
The HORI Fighting Stick Mini 4 is a relatively compact fight stick, which should make it easier to store when not in use. It features a full 8-button layout as well as a proper micro switch activated joystick. It also comes with rubberised feet for a firm grip on smooth surfaces. Since this is an officially licensed product from Sony, you will also find the same functionality as the regular controller, including a built-in Share button.
Nacon Daija Arcade Stick
If you plan on getting into fighting games professionally, then the Nacon Daija Arcade Stick might be something you would want to consider. Nacon says that the fight stick has been optimized for eSports and it worked with French eSports player Marie-Laure ‘Kayane’ Norindr to develop the stick. This partnership should ensure a high level of ergonomics and precision when it comes to playing fighting games. Besides the stick itself, features a standard 8-button layout, which should be familiar to most players.
Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Joystick
If you own multiple consoles and platforms and want just one fight stick for them all, then the Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Joystick might be just what the doctor ordered. The device is not only compatible with the PlayStation 4, but it is also compatible with the PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and even the NeoGeo Mini. Besides the standard 8-button configurations, the fight stick also offers a Turbo function, with different speed settings.
Qanba Crystal Joystick
If you are on the hunt for something that looks very fancy, then the Qanba Crystal Joystick may be just what you are looking for. As it is an officially licensed Sony product, features all the PlayStation buttons that one may expect. It also comes in a snazzy translucent case with hidden compartments for the USB case and the carrying handle. Other features include LED lights on the joystick and buttons, adding an even more premium feel to the whole setup
