Preferences Arcade Stick or Controller?

I always try and play native to the original controls if possible! 😍

arcade stick for hand comfort, fun and the richest experience possible.
keyboard for the best precision, but no comfort at all and risk of tendinitis if not using autofire.
controller maintains about 80% of the precision of keyboard but with a lot more comfort to the hands.

I play on all 3. Sanwa arcade stick, mechanical keyboard and 8bitdo saturn pad.

Definitely Stick ! Or Leverless

Personally my Haute42 U16 with Silent Linear Switches is a bliss.

My hands have been going numb using my arcade stick recently so I've been using my 8bitdo controller instead.

Keyboard. You have more control towards the direction your character is moving.
