So, I have a PS3 TE Fight Stick which used to work great on my old laptop. It's perfect for playing fighting games on the PC. I was really excited to use it for my new laptop to play SFIV which now looks much better than it did on my old laptop thanks to the newer graphics card and bigger screen.. but the frikkin' thing refuses to work. I tried reinstalling the drivers and everything that I could think of to fix this, but it just won't work. So, I searched on google to see if other people are having the same problem, and I was surprised to find out that it was caused by Madcatz making the stick only compatible with an old USB host controller called UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface) which as seen in this thread on shoryuken is far from being universal. Now I'm only left with the option to start digging for a USB Expresscard that supports UHCI, or otherwise give up on using the stick with my laptop. :( I'm posting this as a warning for anyone who's thinking about getting a PS3 TE Stick and intends to use it for the PC. I don't have the Xbox 360 TE Stick so I haven't tested it, but apparently it doesn't have the same problem which makes me suspect that Madcatz can fix this with a driver update, but they still haven't done so for some reason despite all the complaints they are getting from costumers
