It's definitely not going to be cheaper to build one, if anything it will be about the same price. You just missed some sweet prime day sales but if you live in the U.S. the 4th of July might have more sales. A stick like this is a great entry level stick: Drone 2 For a little over $30 dollars more you can get a similair stick with better components: Mayflash The lever alone is going to cost about $30 dollars by istself, and around another $30 for the Sanwa buttons so this is a very nice upgrade compared to the Drone 2 for a great price.
