Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
There is a significant chance that this stick will NOT work on your PC. Please read this review if you plan to purchase this product for use with Street Fighter IV for the PC! This problem affects only the PS3 MadCatz fight sticks. This affects both the Tournament Edition and the white Standard Edition Street Fighter IV fight sticks. This problem does not affect the MadCatz X-Box 360 fight sticks. In technical terms, you will need an Intel motherboard. If you do not have an Intel motherboard then you will need a 3rd party USB PCI card with a VIA chipset. The USB card MUST have a VIA chipset. No other chipset will work with the PS3 MadCatz fight sticks. Your PC will need a free PCI slot for the USB card. The following USB card has been confirmed by the Street Fighter IV community to work: 4+1 Port USB 2.0 PCI Desktop Card - VIA Chip Set Please note that this is specifically a hardware compatibility problem and it does not matter which version of Windows you are running. If you do not understand these technical terms then that is perfectly okay. A safe alternative is the MadCatz X-Box 360 fight sticks which have been confirmed to work on the PC without the above problems. Another alternative is an HRAP3, which is known to work for the PC and is a well respected fight stick: Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick
