The only problem is that it is a bit small and does not provide any hand rest, it can accommodate only the fingers. But as the name indicates it is a mini so the expectation should not be big. It would have been great if the usb cable was longer.

The only problem is that it is a bit small and does not provide any hand rest, it can accommodate only the fingers. But as the name indicates it is a mini so the expectation should not be big. It would have been great if the usb cable was longer.
This little thing is proof that it's the PLAYER behind the controller that matters, not the size or price of the fightstick being used.
I purchased this because it was an inexpensive and available option for SFV. And I wasn't expecting a whole lot but HORI is a good brand and I thought it would hold me over while I waited for MadCatz to actually ship out theirs. (I remember the XboxOne KI TE2 stick launch delays.... I remember pre-ordering day 1 and still getting it a month late... I remember...) SO, this was basically a cheap appetizer/stand-in. But at this point, having played on it for a week, I don't even know that I need the more expensive stick... (that still hasn't arrived I might add. Over a week after release and I pre-ordered)
Sure, if you say, "Pick one for free" and you can have this or a MadCatz TE2, take the latter. Those are great sticks! But this is 1/5 the price. And this thing really works. And works well, although it won't be for everyone.
YES, it IS small, so:
-If you're sporadic or really intense with your inputs, probably not for you. But for me, it doesn't budge while it's sitting on the coffee table thanks to the non-slip pads on the bottom. If you normally place fightsticks on your lap, maybe not.
-If you have huge hands or are clumsy, probably not for you. But the small buttons don't bother me at all considering that I play overhand (or "claw" position) on standard controllers and fightpads when playing fighting games. So while these are smaller than standard arcade buttons, they're still bigger than pad buttons.
I personally don't have input errors with it, it's very responsive, it works perfectly with PS3 & PS4, I've never thought "I would have won that... if I had a more expensive fightstick!!". If you're good, you're good. And if you're terrible, you're terrible. No amount of expensive parts or flashy details is going to change that. So really it just comes down to whether it FITS and feels comfortable to YOU. This thing costs $40 and WORKS. Definitely worth it if the size isn't an issue but money is. At $40, it's worth it just to check out.

However. There are a few things you should be aware of BEFORE buying.
1. When they say MINI. It is REALLY small. The buttons are smaller than a standard arcade stick as well. So for smaller hands this may be a far more suitable purchase (unlike mine which are larger than "normal" hands).
2. The parts COULD be better for the price point. But again. As a beginners stick I would recommend it. As a veteran I would not recommend it though. Buy a Hori RAP4 Kai if this is not your first stick (or as a suitable replacement until you can afford the big boys)
3. Your hands can get kind of cramped around the stick area, The button interface is wonderful however. I currently own a modded Hori RAP4 Kai and this one so if you have big hands. Get big and better (and modifiable) stick.
4. If you're in the market to mod a lower end (this would be an entry model) stick. This is NOT the one for you. Trust me. This thing is very finicky with how all the buttons connect to the PCB. I believe (DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THIS) that you *could* put an 8 way gate in here. But I am unsure if the gate on the mini stick HAS potential to have that mod done. However when you open it up it appears as though this may be possible
5. Lastly, this product does work on PC, PS4, and PS3. If you have a small desk this stick is perfect. BUT. The pads on the bottom of the arcade stick DO NOT really grip most surfaces. So I would strongly recommend a mousepad, mat, or something that has a grippy surface if you are rather... violent I guess?
Main thing is here it moves A LOT.
TLDR:
Great stick for money. Small as all get out. Hard to mod. Moves around a lot. Parts could be better for money spent. Great for beginners. Not for veterans. 8/10
