New Turbo Stick

[airsoftmodels]

My turbo stick arrived in the mail today and it looks brand new!  I am getting ready to do some serious gaming now that I have it and the everdrive!  Since I have only been a tg-16 owner for less than a month, I was wondering how the folks here on the forum feel about the Turbo Stick, is it a necessity,  is it a luxury item, or do you not really need it?  Thanks for sharing.

I have a TurboStick (and a couple other shittier sticks) but never use it.  The pad is good enough for me.

Pads are best.

I'm interested to hear your opinions on the stick. What other arcade sticks are you familiar with? NES/SNES Advantage, Sega's 16 bit arcade sticks, or any of the Hori 3rd party options? I might pick up a hori fighting stick for the PCE if I get the chance, I really like the PS1 and Sega Saturn Hori sticks I've gotten recently.

I've always had just the pads for my Turbo, and my PCE that I recently got only has a pad as well, but I prefer to play with arcade sticks whenever I can. The fun and nostalgia of using an arcade stick outweighs how much worse I am at the games when using it - kind of like using a racing wheel with racing games, or flight stick with flight sims. Fun over function hahah

I have a beeshu, but highly prefer the turbo sticks

I am familiar with the X-Arcade Solo, which I use with MAME, The Atari CX40's that I use with my 600XL, and the CH Products Mach III that I use with my Apple IIe.  As far as my opinion of the Turbo Stick, too early to tell, I only used it for a few minutes today.  But I am hoping it will reduce the strain on my fingers I experience sometimes with the pad.

I only game with turbo sticks and use 6 button controllers on the neo geo ports. They are probably one of the better made sticks I have seen.

I have TurboStick. I much prefer standard pads/third-party pads.

LeStick is too flimsy for my tastes.

At least NES Advantage was solid and weighted.

I like platformers which are a pain to play with turbostick. I go with turbopad on this one.

I want to pick up the ASCII Stick Engine (not to be confused with the Ass Key Stink Engine).

Anyone use one of those? They were work a PC Engine Duo, right?

Wasn't there a Playstation 2 to PCE converter being sold somewhere? Good arcade sticks from Hori et al and custom ones can be had for the playstation so it would be nice if it worked with the PCE.

quick edit: found it http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=51
