They are kinda rare, but that's about double what I'd pay for one and quadruple the price of a superior Avenue Pad 6.

Valid point. If you already paid for it and you are comfortable with the price then I say it was worth it. "Worth" and "value" are pretty loose terms when it comes to collecting stuff for a hobby. What might be worth $100 to you might only be worth $20 to me and vice versa.

I've seen the Duo-RX pads go for $40 - $60 but my personal preference on 6 button pads is for the Hori Fighting Commander.

That thing couldn't be more obviously made out of Super Famicom parts...which is a good thing.

There are exactly zero instances you'd ever need a turbo/rapid fire switch on anything beyond button II.

Yeah, Blanka, Honda, and Chun Li all kick major ass with turbo. Its cheating, of course, but it is effective cheating.

Maybe I can remedy the situation via 6 button defender controls.

woo



anyway, you done paid way the hell too much for that controller.  The DPAD on it sucks mighty bad. 

I got mine for like 10$ or some shit from RisingStuff

Don't pay more than $20 plus shipping. I saw one sell for $16 about a year ago.

OR get an Avenue Pad 6, which is teh most superior 6-button controller. I personally don't like the D-Pad on the Hori.
