Recommend me an arcade stick

[Vanguard]

Hey all, I'm looking to get my first arcade stick, and you guys seem like the best people to ask.

Primarily I want to use it on my computer, but Xbox 360 support would be a plus.

These two look good to me:

http://www.amazon.com/Qanba-Q4-Q4RAF-Bl ... 007SGGLZW/

Is there anything better available for a comparable price? Also, I notice there are a lot of different types of HRAP joysticks, is there a best one or are they all about the same?

The Qanba is a no-brainer.

What makes it preferable over the Hori or whatever else?

How long can I expect it to last?

sanwa stick and buttons that the qanba uses are real japanese arcade parts. apparantly hori's stick and buttons are pretty decent as well, but i'd recommend going with the real thing. most people on here will tell you to switch out the sanwa jlf for a seimitsu stick, but the jlf is perfectly fine. The stick and buttons will last you many years, and can be replaced fairly easily when worn out.

Yep. Better parts, easy to mod with different parts later if you want, excellent compatibility, tough.

It's probably the most popular and well regarded multi-platform stick.

It will last decades as long as you don't hit it with a hammer or throw it out the window.

I got one from http://shadaloo.eu with PS360+ and an Cthulhu inside, runs all retro consoles + PS3/XB360/One
