I have controllers already of course but been really looking into arcade sticks also
Comment has been collapsed.
I've used some, pretty casually.
Honestly, the lowest level Mad Catz (so around 70 usd) are super durable. I've had and abused one for over 10 years. That said, they're not the most accurate... I have a friend that works for a stick company, some of his are so insanely responsive, but they're also absolute top of the line items.
It's also worth noting that most of these sticks are relatively heavy for a controller, at least 5 lbs and can be a little work to get comfortable with (mine usually ends up on my lap). If you've got an electronics center in your area (frys, even a best buy type place, etc) it'd be best to go and get a hands-on feel before you commit to buying.
Hope that was helpful :)

The HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai is a great fight stick, I highly recommend it.

I have one of these
Love it, got it a couple years ago, it doubles as a SNK console with games preloaded and you can add more games if you wish, or you can just use it as a fighting stick for other games :) a bit pricy, but worth it to me.
I don't personally own this one, but I do like 8BITDO, so I'd also recommend this one :)

I was looking at Arcade Sticks and saw quite a lot of choices and thought i'd ask if anyone here has used any or recommended any for laptops and Steam deck - plugged into TV of course as well (or connected to TV I mean)
I have never bought a home arcade stick and would maybe get two for co-op games like fighting/beat-em ups but also puzzle games and platformer, etc...
Don't have a clue where to start and in the UK (if that is helpful for shipping) - seen anything from £20 - to £200+ would be for casual use not like esport level or anything but want it to last
Thanks
