#MAD CATZ GAMEPAD DRIVER DRIVERS#
There's some quirk or limitation with Microsoft's Xbox One controller for PC drivers that restricts certain accessories, and arcade sticks have been a chief victim of the issue. I'm not totally clear on the particulars here, but the problem is well-documented. Unfortunately, it doesn't play well with Windows 10. It's a beautiful stick with a good amount of weight to it, and the buttons and stick are modifiable as well. However, accessory maker Razer was kind enough to send along its very nice Atrox Xbox One controller to try. With the Xbox One controller working perfectly, I assumed I'd find the same luck with Xbox One arcade sticks, which, despite a pretty serious lack of fighting games on Xbox One, do exist - there's a Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2 stick for Xbox One, though I was unable to acquire one in time for this piece. This wasn't the way I wanted to play Street Fighter 5, but honestly, it was perfectly serviceable, and the D-pad on the Xbox One controller is worlds better than anything the 360 ever saw, Mad Catz's Fightpads notwithstanding. There was another controller that Street Fighter 5 recognized instantly without requiring any tweaking: an official Xbox One pad (and Xbox One Elite Controller, to be specific). So if you don't have a stick yet, then a 360-specific stick may not be the answer you need. What I found was often secondhand and severely marked up, due in part to Mad Catz's tendency to make its releases collector's editions with limited runs, and for their competitors to sell smaller production runs in general.
I tried shopping online and at local retail in the Bay Area to find a 360 fight stick and came up empty-handed. There's just one problem: They can be hard to find if you don't have one. And just as importantly, there are a lot of really great arcade sticks from companies like Hori, Mad Catz and Razer for the 360.

Anecdotally speaking, this applies across brands, including Mad Catz's excellent Tournament Edition line, as well as its Fightpad series of controllers. This stick isn't amazing, but it is indicative of a general trend: Street Fighter 5 likes Xbox 360 arcade sticks on PC. Out of the sticks I tested, the only one that just worked - requiring no external tweaking or configuration - was a Hori fight stick included with the Collector's Edition of Tekken 6 that I had sitting in a cabinet. Right off the bat, the easiest way to play Street Fighter 5 with an arcade stick is to use an Xbox 360-compatible accessory. I've come out of this haze with recommendations, and, as importantly, configurations to get you up and running with sticks you can buy in a store now. But as it happens, I've spent the last week tweaking and testing five different arcade sticks with Street Fighter 5 on PC.

For a variety of reasons, several of which pertain to an archaic set of policies and politics around old and new Windows driver standards, getting a fighting stick that works on PC and with Street Fighter 5 is a little harder than it should be. Unfortunately, that's not quite how things have worked out. This development should mark the first time that Capcom and its partners at Mad Catz get serious about bringing their well-regarded arcade sticks to the PC as well. And even better, PC players aren't segregated to their own platform - Street Fighter 5 allows players to go head to head regardless of where they're playing the game, be it on Playstation 4 or Windows PC. I also had to rewire the thing to get it to work and then change the buttons in game.For the first time, a Street Fighter game is launching on PC at the same time as its console counterparts. I hope this helps some guys out there :)"

(you probably need to manually install the old driver from there to get the option in your device-manager:
#MAD CATZ GAMEPAD DRIVER UPDATE#
so you need to right-click it in the device-manager and update -driver -> search on computer -> chose driver from a list -> take the OLDER driver (9.0), install that driver, restart the PC, it works again as 6-button-stick!
"i case you are still around, i got the 6-button layout to work again win10 : if you connect it, it gets recognised as Xbox gaming device, but you cant use it as a gamecontroller. I've been playing with an Xbox 360 controller and an Xbox One controller on my Win10 PC everything works fine. So yeah I pluged my Killer Instinct fight stick (Xbox One) into my computer and the lights come on and everything but thats it, nothing works. My local gamestore said they only do in-store credit which is cool and all but THEY DONT HAVE ANY OTHER FIGHT STICKS.
