Specifically designed for AAA fighting games on the PS3, the pad features high quality micro-switch activators to give the thumbstick a similar feel to that of an actual arcade machine. The buttons on the pad have been placed in the expected six-button configuration to give the user a true arcade feel, making it easier to perform difficult fighting moves more smoothly. The thumbstick itself has an, over tooled cap while the pad itself has a satin finish to prevent the controller from slipping during gameplay.
