One of the newest product reveals that I'm personally most excited from at CES 2020 wasn't on the showfloor itself, but I checked it out by visiting MadCatz' offsite suite. Sitting within the same lineup as MadCatz' updated R.A.T. mice and other PC accessories was a familiar looking eight-button Arcade Stick set up to demo Dead or Alive 6 on the Xbox One. After a few years away from the tournament scene, it was good to see MadCatz return to the FGC with the announcement of their new EGO Arcade Stick.

The MadCatz EGO Arcade Stick should look immediately familiar to anyone familiar with the last decade of MadCatz arcade sticks, starting from the Tournament Edition that released alongside Street Fighter IV back in 2009. From the simple rectangular design to the eight-button Vewlix-style layout, the MadCatz EGO Arcade Stick returns to the aesthetic that MadCatz has been known for. While the exact buttons used weren't listed, the components felt very similar to the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick and Sanwa OBSF 30mm push buttons, parts that still power some of the most common arcade sticks in tournament play to this date.
