When you do get it, give us a review. I’m also interested in getting one. The Mad Catz SF4 pad would have been fine for me, problem is that it’s wireless and I experience input lag when using it. I don’t have the same experience using my Saturn USB pad, but it has a broken D-pad that constantly falls off after a short time. So this Hori is my last hope for a wired 6 face button pad on PS3.
Sure thing. Still not here yet. It’s been about 16 days now, factoring in Hong Kong time, which is completely ridiculous for airmail (especially from Hong Kong, from which airmail shipments always seem to be faster than U.S. domestic shipments 
), unless they used a hot air balloon. So I finally contacted Play Asia about it. Part of me kind of wishes I’d done EMS, but it’s so much more expensive…
It’s been 15 days for me but Play Asia advised to give it 21 days although they admit I should’ve received it within 5-10 days.
Okay, it finally came today! I would not say it was worth the wait though. The d-pad is just a little uncomfortable, high, and clicky, and I cannot reliably pull off Shoryuken; got my butt handed to me repeatedly by Deejay on the lowest difficulty of HD Remix. I have had this experience before with another pad that I got used to and even came to love though, so take this as just a preliminary report. The buttons also seem designed more for looks than for extended play; their flatness was not a great idea, but I suppose it beats concave buttons. Ergonomically, it’s designed well enough, I guess, but I still found myself with sweaty palms after just a half hour or so, and I would have preferred a flatter bottom and just two triggers.
Build quality is (aside from looks) the one thing that is unambiguously good about this controller. As expected, it feels like this thing is more rugged than almost anything else out there, including DualShocks.
Maybe somebody else will have a better experience with this, and maybe it will grow on me, but I can’t strongly recommend it at this point. 
Would you recommend the Madcatz pad instead?
No…I’m not kidding…
Is there such a thing as one of these xbox360 pad but with a 6 button layout type ???
???
You poor thing.
Just found out about the FC3 and it looks like a winner! I currently use the MC FightPad which I love but after going through 3 usb dongles and it’s incompatibility with PS2 games, this pad looks like a win/ win!
I know it was asked above but can someone confirm if the Hori FC3 supports PS2 games on a BC PS3?
Thanks!
My pad of choice, DS3.
I’d rather spend 40$ on a FS3 than a fightpad.
anybody ever heard or used this one?

MadCatz Control pad for the Saturn
Usually it’s the Sixaxis but I just ordered this today:
Nevermind, didn’t see the post date.
Has anyone found any kind of website where all these weird & wonder-/awful gamepads have been brought together for analysis?
edit
While looking at NFGworld, I stumbled across an article on the Saturn pad, which led a pic of the SeaMan2 SeaMic pad:
Anyone ever used one?
I want to get it from Play-Asia, but don’t have $65+ spare! :sad:
And now I’ve found this: https://sites.google.com/site/neotechni/Home
So far I have to say the snes pad. (got a usb and snes>psx converter) And I’ve been having great success with it. now if only i can use it on my ps3 than Im set to main this in tournaments
still struggling with the stick but before that it was any sony pad. they emulated the snes pad well.
rtdzign do you still make you hybrid Pad Controllers?
I like how you manage to merge a Arcade controller with a game pad to become one device.
One thing that I always wrap my brain around is how you get the pad onto the rest of the controller and manage for it to be fastened to that box firmly. If I try to duplicate this I sure that is the first part that would fail on me.
Saturn pad hands down for everything. Madcatz Fightpad runner up.
I wish I had a PS2 Saturn pad
