I recently got pic related brand new. Does the stick become looser the more I break it in or do I have to tweak something to make it not stiff? Thanks in advance!

This is a Genesis 6-button clone. Great controller when I was 12 but definitely small now.

Saturn 3D pad feels exactly like a Dreamcast controller with more buttons so YMMV if you like Dreamcast or not.

This Saturn model 2 pad is often hailed as the greatest 2D gamepad of all time and USB versions of it constantly sell out and/or are subjected to extreme scrutiny re: the d-pad's mechanics. This is definitely what OP needs to get.

The model 1 pad is acceptable but it feels slightly too close to the atrocious Jaguar controller. Too thick and its shoulder buttons are terrible. I won't even post a pic of it.

OP, you might consider the Sega 1st party arcade stick. Sega made some kick-ass arcade sticks in the 90s and for unknown reasons it was overproduced like crazy loony-tunes and you can still get a brand new one for $20, which you might have a hard time finding a model 2 control pad for. Shit to think about.

So I want a good arcade stick to use for my Dreamcast, but the Sega one looks to be pretty pricey. I see the Saturn's Virtua Sticks are still cheap, so I was wondering if they're any good? And yes, I know I'll need to get an adapter. If they're not any good, and good arcade stick recommendations?
