yeah
I came up in arcades in the day, so I could never adapt to the pad.
you can look on amazon though, but I don't recommend the real cheap ones, as they typically come with shit parts.
are you looking for specific stuff? like do you just want a stick, or do you have preferences.. bat top/ ball top/ convex buttons / concave buttons ?

this is on amazon for 99.99 if that floats your boat. mad catz was once known for being shitty, but, their sticks are legit. mad catz only really builds the case. the joystick/buttons are sanwa parts.
if I were you, I'd look more in to it, to see how easily it can be modded. because the cool thing about stick, opposed to pads, is that when the parts wear out, you can replace them fairly cheaply and easily.
like, I'm currently using one of these (one of the first sticks for current gen consoles)
I've had it for like 3 years, and just replace the buttons and sticks as they die, rather than having to buy new pads.
Back in the day man, some of the older sticks, especially US built ones, you had to fucking desodder and resodder the parts if you wanted to change out buttons/stick.. it's really come a long way.
