Venom's Latest Arcade Stick is a Multi-Format Beast

With eight buttons and a classic ball-top joystick, the Arcade Fight Stick from Venom looks like it's been taken straight from the heart of an arcade cabinet, and that's just what the company have gone for, with this professional grade stick.

It's been made with arcade-quality components for the reliable and robust action demanded by pro gamers, and the Arcade Fight Stick has been specially designed to make modding easier if you decide to swap out components at a later stage. It also comes with a 3 metre USB cable to give you a bit more breathing room.

“The recent success of Tekken 7 has shown how popular the fighting game genre continues to be, and gamers looking to recreate the precession and authenticity of the arcade scene will always gravitate towards a speciality controller such as our Arcade Fight Stick,” said Tom Hodge, Director of Sales for Venom. “Our stick features true cross-format compatibility, a huge bonus for gamers who play across multiple formats. We believe that gamers will respond enthusiastically to the value and quality offered by our stick and expect to increase our market share in the controller category through its release at retail.”

If you fancy getting your hands on one of these sticks, which will work on PS3, PS4, PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, then they're currently available for a penny under sixty quid on Amazon in the UK, and worldwide and many major (or minor) retailers.
