As you can see, the Mad Catz Street Fighter V FightStick Alpha and FightPad Pro are compatible with both the PlayStation 4 as well as the PlayStation 3 as gamers can switch between the two platforms via a switch. The two also use six face buttons with the R1 and R2 buttons being placed in the same area as the Cross, Circle, Square and Triangle buttons. The Fight Pad Pro comes with black, blue, red and white color variations.
According to Mark Julio, who is the Global Community and Sponsorship Manager at Mad Catz, these products are a work in progress. The FightStick Alpha is the second PS4 arcade stick from the company with the first one being the Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 (if you are interested, you can preorder the T.E. 2 with this link).
Street Fighter V is coming out in the spring of 2016 for the Playstation 4 console as well as the PC platform. If you are planning to buy the fighting game, you might want to check out the FightStick Alpha and FightPad Pro from MadCatz.
