Real Arcade Pro: EX Premium VLX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If in a joystick you seek affordability and portability then this stick isn't for you.

The Hori Real Arcade Pro VLX is the monument piece of arcade sticks.The front and top half of the Unit is made of metal.The side pieces and design of the stick matches that of an official Japanese Street Fighter IV Vewlix cabinet.The stick also uses a Sanwa JLF joystick and Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons, the highetst quality authentic Japanese arcade parts.The front bevel of the stick is set at a angle for your palms just like the Viewlix arcade cab.The base of this stick is really wide and very heavy.I am one of those people that belive so long as you can carry an arcade stick, It cannot be too heavy.With a lighter stick such as an Hori EX2 playing on the table may cause the stick to move about or slide around.The VLX stays put on my coffee table .

One of the other major draws is that this stick has 3 thumbscrews in the cord compartment that when removed allows you to open the stick like a hot rod car so that you can modify your stick (whilst voiding your warranty).So if you prefer certain Seimitsu arcade parts you can easily swap them out.As for modability and maintenence, the buttons are easily replaceable and the buttons have quick disconnects.The Sanwa JLF can be swapped out for a Seimits LS-32 or LS-56(with MS Plate) if you prefer a different type of joystick.

The only con I could say is the price, and for some it is definitely bigger than it needs to be.For most people a Madcatz TE would be a more practical choice, but if you are one that doesn't wan't a run of the mill product, get the VLX.
