I live in Sweden and I'm looking for an arcade stick to purchase for PS4, but there don't seem to be any retailers which sell these in Sweden? So my question is, where may I purchase a stick which will ship to Sweden?

I'm not even very informed as to where to buy quality sticks, which brands to go for etc - I'm completely new - so any tips on which stick to get may also help.

amazon ship to sweden??

basically you have 3 choices,
hori ps4 hayabusa (mid range price but top quality parts, theres a "kai" version also which has different joystick placement)
madcatz ps4 te2 (most expensive and ive heard good few bad things about it and getting one outside of US/canada cn be troublesome)
venoms ps4 stick (cheapest, non sanwa parts)

i own the kai and while it doesnt hold a candle to my old qanba(which doesnt work on mkx ps3 driver) it does the job.
id used the venom stick also but the standard parts arent up to scratch imo so you might consider getting a sanwa joystick/buttons aswell

also theres the option of just buying a ps3 stick and using the ps3 driver thats in MKX to play

The main reason for me getting one is because I'll be in Japan a lot and would like to stand a chance vs the locals, which all use arcade sticks in actual arcades. Are the layouts very different from stick to stick, and which one is the closest to an actual arcade u'd find in japan? I played Melty blood vs japanese players last summer and got mopped because I had no experience with the sticks.

webhallen.se has a Hori arcade ps4 stick. I'm looking for an arcade stick too which will be my first one, but i'm waiting for Eightarc to make one because i like their design. Or madcatz if it wasn't blue.:(

If you never played with a stick - buy a viper and if you like the overall feel, eventually swap the parts for sanwa or seimitsu (youll need to buy a new wire harness for the stick but its cheap). The madcatz te2 is hard to cine by in europe, i think a new shipment is in line at the start of august (according to the french amazon). Regarding the hori sticks for psx, ive heard great things about the stick, but most people prefer to swap the buttons.

Ive ordered my last stick (te2 rivals limited edition) on nin-nin game. Sticks are cheap, shipping pricey. Evens out if you can avoid import tax.
