So, here we have it, HORI fighting Stick! Here we have it, PXN fighting Stick.....
Difference?....... Size!
All joking aside, The HORI fighting stick is quality made but it's just
too damn small, came to the conclusion right at the beginning of the video so
you have to watch the whole thing.. if you don't want to, but just want to point
out the differences and things so you know what to look out for if you're going to buy an
arcade stick, especially a budget one, if you're paying like 100 120 150 200
pounds for an arcade stick, you know you're gonna get a quality one, well if
you've spent the money wisely - you're gonna get a quality one but if you are going to buy
one of these budget ones, because there's a lot of retro gamer's out there and we
don't want to pay hundred plus for just the basic arcade stick these are some of
the things and comparisons that you need to look out for because this one is
quality, it's just the fact that it's so small, which is a shame, this one the HORI one
reminds me of sort of like a tradesman's sample, so the HORI one, if you have got
small hands ideal! PS3, PS4, PC shouldn't have any issues, joystick very nice
responsive, buttons responsive, these ones are a bit iffy (spongey) but you don't use them to
play with, they are only for selections and things, so ideal....... if you've got
small hands, some issues with it besides it being small is the fact, if you have got an
arcade stick you want it...........
stuck down! Especially if you're playing games......
and you're doing this quite a lot, or this quite a lot, this?? Yeah if you do that on
a flat surface (it moves) It's got feet on it, I mean there is a review
video I've put on for this but It's got not grip at all don't, so unless you want to be
holding it in your hand....
Or you've got it on a flat surface where you can actually hold it there in position
use it and then use the buttons at the same time and that's not too bad, It's just
if it's moving about and especially if you're playing some of these old games
where it's just 4 directional, you could be selecting the wrong axis rather than
left, right, up, down and that's gonna put you off your game, the PXN it's stuck down really, really,
well you've got no problems at all, the PXN
the buttons not as good as the HORI ones that's my my opinion, these ones are
quality buttons... but these ones are OK okay, the good thing about the PXN is that if
your playing shoot-'em-ups be a playing a game where you need faster buttons, you haven't got
to keep doing this, got a turbo button! So you press press this - hold it down
press the fire button and then that will get it activated and if you want rapid
fire you just hold the button down
The HORI fighting stick hasn't got this feature, these are some of the features that
you need to look out for, also with PXN it's got an option there to swap it
between d-pad and joystick, this one hasn't, you've got all the usual buttons
on the PXN which you've got like the home button, options button, similar
to the start and select, you've got a PlayStation button as well which is
the same on the PXN - you've got the home button, options & share. You've got a switch here to click
between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, you don't need that with
the PXN, the PXN it's a little bit trickier to set up, when you want to it's got
an extra USB here, I'll show a quick diagram in the video - how to set this up with different systems
compatible with PS3, PS4 and PC plus it's compatible we've move the switch I
haven't tested it on the switch pretty sure it'd be fine, it also staes it's
compatible the Xbox but I haven't tested it either because I haven't got
an Xbox, someone did puy in the comments of the review video that they couldn't get it
working their Xbox so not 100% sure, I've only bought it for PC and both of these work
fine for the PC, I haven't tested the HORI with a PlayStation 3 or Playstation
4 but I'm pretty sure it will be fine the
other thing as well is that the PXN has got a little bit of a hand rest
HORI one hasn't, obviously with the size of the PXN if you play games
seated down on your settee and you've got a bit of a distance between you and
your TV and you want this on your lap you'll be ok, if you want this on your lap
unless you've got a really small set of knees you're gonna be struggling again.
Good thing about the HORI is... it's got a decent length the cable, over two
meters on it, was about two... two point four meters, PXN lead.. over two meters
again, its about 2 ten? Also, with the PXN then you've got macro buttons so you can
actually program a set of moves / instructions say of a special move using the micro button and
then program it to one of these two buttons here L3 or R3 and then it will
do like a special move when you press them. PXN it's also got an LED indicator here, which shows you
which player you are, this HORI one hasn't, but regardless of that I'm pretty sure it will be
okay still with PS3 & PS4. So, going back to the buttons then, I will just pick this
one up just to show you the height of the buttons, I'll try and get a side-by-side
here this one which is the pxn
& Hori see the difference? less distance to
travel, it's just depends what we're used to
so the quality is there in the HORI fighting stick, it's just the fact that
it's just too damn small (and lacks features) I was in two minds whether to just return this. My Son has
played with it, played the new Streets of Rage game played all the way through
it, his hands are obviously a bit smaller
than mine but he struggled with it as well because of the size, overall then 35 quid
40 quid.....out of the two of them then? No question about
it.....gotta to be the PXN to win, even though the
joystick is not as good a quality as the HORI one, even the buttons are
not as good a quality as HORI, this is just functional, this one isn't, that's my
conclusion and that's where my money resides the PXN arcade stick, his and
hers maybe? Done quite a few videos on emulation recently so check those videos
out, my name is Cal, have a good morning, afternoon or good evening
farewell till next time, I will see you later, thanks for watching (and reading) 👍
