Arcade Power Stick (アーケードパワースティック) is an arcade stick peripheral for the Sega Mega Drive (though is also compatible with other consoles/computer that rely on DE-9 ports).

The Arcade Power Stick was followed by the Arcade Power Stick 6B.

Hardware

The Arcade Power Stick has three face buttons equipped with turbo features, which whose speed can be configured.

The Japanese release of the Arcade Power Stick features a joystick with microswitches, akin to arcade hardware. All non-Japanese versions of the peripheral utilize joysticks with rubber contacts, similar to the D-pad of a standard controller. All releases regardless of region use face buttons with rubber contacts, identical in function to that of a standard controller.
