HORI Fighting Stick (Generation 4)

The HORI Fighting Stick Cube is an arcade game controller released by Hori on December 22, 2004.

It was based on Hori's earlier Real Arcade, made specifically for the GameCube. Unlike the co-current third-generation Fighting Stick and the Fighting Stick EX, it does not have analog face button and analog joystick, nor the turbo function. It has the Noir arcade layout.

It was originally released as the Soulcalibur II Stick Cube on March 23, 2003, a collaboration model made specifically for the game Soulcalibur II on GameCube. A regular version was later released in the following year.

As it was made specifically for the GameCube, it requires a third-party adapter to be able to use on PC, but even then, some adapters will only work as a DirectInput device.
