In the beginning, home consoles sought to bring the arcade experience to the home. A console was measured by the quality of its arcade ports. Equally important to the quality of the port was the ability of the console's controller to replicate that arcade joystick feel. Home joysticks have evolved from being the primary input source to now being niche controllers for specific genres (primarily fighting games). Arcades have been dead in America for a long time now, and that makes the quest to bring the arcade experience home all the more important. Let's count down the best home console arcade sticks of all-time, past and present.

Nice to see mine at #6:mean:.
Even though a profoundly wise man on here once claimed it stunk of fish - I still love it and think it's definately worth the extra $ you have to pay!

I wish there were some that were USB based, but didn't take up so much space like the ones on this list. I'd love to use them here. It would beat my gamepad for sure.

And lol at one of the comments.

all the sega ones look cool. I always liked the indented buttons in arcades.
