I have the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, Arcade stick, Pro and Ultimate.
I only realized it late that I have become a big fan of them :D
Me too. I've got a ton of their controllers. Current favourite is the Ultimate 2.4GHz, which seems to be the perfect SteamDeck controller. I've considered picking up the cheaper 2.4GHz Ultimate (the one without the cradle) as a spare, but their chosen colour schemes for them baffle me! Can't decide whether I hate or love them.
Would you recommend the Arcade Stick?
Yes and no, the arcade stick is nice on all arcade type games except fighting games. The default stick is a 4 way gate which is not really that great when it comes to doing special move inputs, especially complicated ones. It can be done but it feels nicer with an 8 way gate.
However the stick by itself is moddable, you can replace the stick with an 8 way, although looking for mod parts can be tricky. There are tons of youtube videos regarding it and to be honest I haven't checked these videos yet but probably one of them shows where to buy parts for modding.
Sounds not too bad, I think I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
