Recommended XBOX joysticks?

I'm thinking about getting an XBOX, mainly for DOA3 (loved DOA2), but I'm a little concerned about the joysticks available. I can't see myself ever playing a fighting game on a gamepad, and the joysticks available for the XBOX don't seem all that good as far as I've found.

Can anyone recommend a good fighting game arcade-style joystick for the XBOX? Or perhaps (even better) is there an adapter available that allows me to use my PSX/PS2 joysticks on an XBOX?

No adapter for a PS2 controller yet.

There is an arcade controller being released at the end of this month.



Something like that?

that's a bad stick

Flay, that picture looks like the "Arcade-fighter joystick" from Electro-source. They also make the same joystick for the PS2. Several people have written reviews for it at ebgames.com, and they are mostly bad. I've also seen the joystick at a B&M store, and you can tell it's a bad stick just by looking at it. Really cheap (in both senses of the word).

Aren't there any quality joysticks out there for XBOX? Maybe I'll just have to wait.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. I have the one for the PS / PS2. The stick is very stiff and the buttons feel cheap. You can do better for $20, well at least on the PS / PS2. Options for the Xbox are not really there yet.
