HORI Real Arcade Pro Special Editions
A new production of the PS3 Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 SA (Sanwa) priced at US$125.90 and the X360 Hori Real Arcade Pro EX SE (Seimetsu) at US$135.90 arrived yesterday and all preorders have shipped.

The "Special Addition" designation refers to the authentic Sanwa arcade joystick and buttons which are used in the stick. According to the website, the Sanwa stick is a JLF-TP-8YT-SK which means a mounting plate and dust cover are included. The buttons are Sanwa model #OBSF-30 and OBSF-24.
The dimensions of the stick are 412 x 243 x 135mm and weighs 2600g. A 3m USB cable connects the controller to your PS3.

Hori's RAP.EX SE uses genuine Seimetsu buttons and a lollipop-style joystick. That means you won't have to mod a standard Hori RAP EX stick with coin-op quality parts to get that special tactile arcade feel. Besides, modding a joystick can potentially lead to fatigue, wayward solder, a broken joystick, and consequently a broken heart. Why risk tragedy?
The Real Arcade Pro EX SE
is based on the same form-factor as earlier RAPs and sports a 3m (9.83') cord to link the joystick to the Xbox 360 console and is a heavy-duty controller that'll give you years of enjoyment.
