5. Nacon Daija

Daija Arcade Stick Xbox

The Nacon Daija was one of the community favorites in the previous console generation, and it is now back, this time with Xbox Series X compatibility & official licensing. The Nacon Daija was originally developed in collaboration with the female professional player from France, Kayane.

With a textured palm rest, a Sanwa joystick and buttons make a comeback as well as an additional Korean joystick. The ball top & bat top can easily be removed and replaced as well because of the screw-on system.

There is also additional storage space. Included are a detachable USB A-to-C cable and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
