I use a Sidewinder, PS1, N64 pads on my PC, as well as a Logitech Wingman Attack flight stick.

 

As for that X-Arcade controller? It's a joke in design AND price. I could build 8 of my own setups like that with real arcade parts for half the price they charge for 1 of those pieces of sh*t.  :D

yeah, i wanted to do the same but i couldn´t find the prts i needed, but i agree that building it for yourself is the best idea, i was also thinking, if you make it to play on your desktop, what´s the best way to make it have an excellent grip?

I want to build my own arcade panel but I don't have any room in my room or on my desk so it sucks.

Yeah, id love to build my own arcade cabinate too, its not that i dont have the room, i just don't know where to start or what i'd need, i main, i know i'd have my other pc inside of it, with that arcade font end that boots up as soon as you turn it on and gives you a list of games to play and then when you pick the game it loads the emulater you set for that game, but i don't know how i'd go about building the joysticks, or where i'd get all the parts from or what type of screen to use and all stuff like that.

Controller I use for roms and such: Gravis Gamepad Pro or some crap like that. Looks sort of like a PSX controller, though the D-pad is not as smooth as I'd like, but overall it gets the job down.

 

Controllers for PS2: Regular PS2 controller for most games. For fighting games, I use the SCII Hori stick, which I think is an all-around arcade stick for fighting games in general.

Try this site, it has a link to a store where you can buy all the basic parts.
