Rise Up to the Challenge!

The official Street Fighter V Arcade FightStick Alpha packs the essential features of a full-size
arcade stick into a compact layout with properly spaced arcade controls.

The transition from standard gamepad to gratifying arcade stick can sometimes prove
intimidating. But fear no more. Mad Catz cushioned the blow by creating the ideal
introduction to an all-new level of control and precision.

Arcade FightStick Alpha delivers everything you need in a fighting game controller, and nothing
you don’t. You get a ball-top lever and a six-button layout that mimics the spacing of Japanese
arcade cabinets. Most fighting games only use up to six main action buttons but the remaining
two action buttons are still within easy reach, making it ready for any fight.

Product Features

 Ultra-Compact Design: Arcade FightStick Alpha maintains the tournament-quality look

and feel of its big brothers while remaining streamlined and portable.

 6-Button Arcade Layout: Our Mad Catz FightStick boasts an arcade-style design with 6

action buttons to drain your enemy’s life bar. Stay focused on the match with tight,

core gaming controls.

 Versatile Gamer: This PS4 FightStick has a button enabling the joystick to emulate a left

or right analog stick or D-Pad to unlock gameplay for other gaming genres.

 Reliable USB Connectivity: The world’s best fighters prefer the assurance of a low-

latency USB connection. The extensive 9.8ft/3m USB cable on this Street Fighter arcade
stick keeps you at a comfortable distance from your TV.
