picked up a crystal on sale for $90 and wanted to make it my first modded stick, just turn this thing into an absolute frankenstein. wanted to say this vid is amazing, not too long, covers all the bases, all the vernacular is there so i dont feel lost. super stoked to get my pieces and put everything together!
the key is using the quanba shaft. it's longer than the sanwa shaft. I used the Kowal Oversize Actuator with the sanwa octagonal gate.
This is a very interesting video!! OMG I've done all the button switches, but never knew you could retain the Qanba housing for the LED joystick, doing this change immediately! Thanks!
I don't really get why people make a big deal out of this stick being difficult to mod. Looks pretty standard to me.
can you make a custom art video for this stick.
Thanks bro my lever fell apart and I couldn't tell how to put it all together 😂 thanks for this
I prefer a Korean crown lever bat-top joystick and sanwa buttons because they are high-quality parts.
so do I, unfortunately I'm not sure how to keep the led board and have a crown lever in this stick yet
HurtboxTV can I use silencer pads once I replace my buttons with sanwa buttons? Or will they interfere with the light boards ?
I'm pretty sure Qanba donated this because they liked his RUclips channel. He received it free from them.
Excellent video! I am thinking about making a custom stick from scratch, so I learned a lot from this. On question; do you play guitar?
Managed to pick up a crystal for 75CAN$ - less than 60USD. I'll probably spend the money I save and sanwa parts and voilà: badass stick
Couldn't you have just replaced the microswitch and used that new stick in your crystal unit ?
After performing this mod, i noticed the jlf/qanba hybrid lever not properly registering down diagonals, and the response time, especially for crouches, being less-than optimal. There was a lag possibly due to the slight offset of the sanwa actuator and switches when being fit into the qanba pivot. I remedied this by replacing the stock sanwa jlf actuator with a spare hori hayabusa actuator i had lying around, though i suspect any
.5 mil oversized jlf actuator like the kind they sell on paradise arcade shop or focus attacks’s kowal actuator would work. It’s because the hayabusa actuator is slightly oversized. Though not effecting the throw, the switches definitely engage faster after the actuator swap.
Update; not long sfter installing these switch mods, actually ended up returning the lever and buttons back to stock, to stay true to Qanba’s original tuning; it feels the best.
@@colossus808ewould it be worth it just to replace the qanba spring with a JLF spring since ive read the qanba one is quite a bit lower resistance than the sanwa standard 2lb one which i don't think i will love. im hopefully getting a crystal today so ive been looking into what mods i might want to do.
@@Shockking21 lemme feel both right now….ok. I barely a difference in pivot feel between the stock qanba lever and spring versus a stock sanwa lever and spring. They both run 1lb springs stock, I believe.
I just came here to find out the safest way to replace the square gate with an octogate. because octogates are superior.
instead, now I want transparent blue buttons and a clear bat top.
help.
Focus attack, Arcade Shock, and Paradise Arcade shop all have exactly what you're looking for.
So since I'm getting the Crystal myself, I have a question about the buttons: Is it possible to transfer the led board from a Qanba button to, say, a sanwa button? Asking just in case if there's a way to replace the whole button but keep the led by transfering instead of just switching the Microswitch (based on the video).
Same my crystal comes in tomorrow but I wanna mid it sooo bad but I still want the LEDs
@HurtboxTV Do you think its possible to put sanwa plunger on these buttons ?
My stick when held to the left feels like the "click" sound is wearing thing. Its also making me drop dashes and combos when on 2nd player side. Is there a way to fix this? Right side of stick clicks and feels good
Thank u in advance
whats the difference between the original joystick and the sanwa one???
Thank you for this!
All i need is a new microswitch as mine is worn out what do u suggest
@HurtboxTV Im confused did you use the qanba lever and housing with the sanwa spring? or did you use the Sanwa stick, housing and spring?
The shaft, springs, and microswitches came from the sanwa. the housing is still the qanba stuff.
do you know how to make a stick that has keyboard-like arrow keys instead of a joystick?
Look into a hitbox
asdf - punches
zxcv - kicks
arrow keys - movement
hitbox doesnt seem good to use at all for me.
The Real Dio do you mean the buttons themselves are arrow keys? If you just need to use a stick on pc, you can use JoyToKey to make the stick buttons do certain keyboard buttons.
Now is this at all possible to do with a k lever? Specifically the ist alpha 49s
great video. quick question, did you use the whole sanwa set up with stick and actuator or just the sanwa switches and gate?
I noticed you put a clear ball top. I was thing of switching my ball top to a clear bat top. I don’t want to do any major modding yet to the joystick I just wanna switch the stock ball top to a bat top. Is there a certain type of bat top required to switch on the stock Qanba stick? Can just buy a standard bat top and switch it?
You can send me where you bought those parts please
these are 30mm buttons right, and what buttons did you swap them out for?
Yes they are. I swapped the qanba microswitches for Sanwas.
If one had no interest in maintaining LED function, would it be possible to mod this normally? For instance, just mount the JLF in its entirety to the panel and connect the 5-pin connector while ignoring any LED-related PCBs or wiring?
GaijinMo yes, someone please confirm! I have a dead q2 and just ordered the crystal. I heard it doesn’t have sanwa parts so I’m going to swap the two. I care none for the led. I was actually relieved when I found out there was an option to turn it off.
Please help me with this !
Can I use "myoungshin fanta (korean)" in place of Sanwa stick in Qanba Dragon or Crystal?
You have to drill the 35mm hole on the stick.
Other reviewers are saying if you change out the buttons the LEDs won’t work anymore is that true?
So you used all sanwa parts except for the Housing?
This looks like a lot of trouble. I may just remove the LED cables entirely and install my buttons as I please.
I'm kind of new to this, and I was wondering for the joystick if I should get the JLF with or without the plate? Thanks in advance.
I did the sanwa lever mod + phreakmods ex groove adapter, I had to leave the qanba actuator because the sanwa was giving me wrong diagonals, now it works but some time the stick makes a sound like something is stuck and then it works normal, it doesn't feel as smooth as the stock jlf so basically feels the same as stock qanba but quieter.
Update: some months ago I took out the led PCB from the qanba lever and placed it on top of the stock jlf with phreakmods mod and it's way better than before.
I'm gonna do this with my qanba. I was reading putting on a balltop is a pain?
Having trouble removing the c clip, any tips?
PhiDX Games get a flat head screwdriver, put it in the Gap and twist. Keep your hand close as they fly out and it's a pain when you lose it. To put them back on just lay it against the shaft grab needle nose pliers make sure the shaft and c clip are in-between it and squeeze
Is there a video where I can add a picture on the buttons itself?
I'm looking to replace the stick with Seimitsu LS-32s. Is it compatible? If not, what other Seimitsu recommendations can I use for this? What site is recommended for buying the parts?
Qanba sticks use Omron switches, or does it say QMRON like madcatz did?
Is it possible to use the Bit Bang Gaming Shuriken instead of the stock sanwa PCB?
Did all that make the stick quiet?
is the size of the qanba gate the same on the sanwa? I'm talking about the hole in the middle.
yes i need this answer
are the LEDs not compatible with OBSF30s?
Why you can't just buy the good microswitch reference and put into plunger and lever ?! Sanwa part have a cost ... or just buy a stick all ready have full sanwa parts inside ... if you want sanwa.
very helpful!
So what parts do I need to replace the square gate on the quanba crystal with an octagonal sanwa gate. Sorry, this is my first time.
sysLink15 just replace the gate then u don't need any parts
switched out quanba for sanwa, it doesnt work. double checked too.
I NEED HELP!!! Im trying to change the balltop but the im having some serious trouble, I dont understand if i have to hold the flathead and twist off the balltop or hold the balltop and twist the flathead. Im trying my hardest too do both but im stripping the screw! Badly. Can you clarify more on the situation!
First you need a big enough flathead, you can twist with both to loosen it then you unscrew the ball top from the top. It should take a lot of force to remove a ball top
@@HurtboxTV thanks
can i just replace the buttons without using the leds? i got plain white sanwa buttons and i don’t think it’s worth the effort to add on the leds
also will a sanwa 8way restrictor gate work with this joystick by itself? like would i also have to get another stick just to use the 8way gate?
yes you can just replace the buttons like normal, and no it won't work. you'll have to replace it with a sanwa or see is Qanba makes 8 way gates for their levers.
HurtboxTV actually i tried it out, turns out the sanwa 8 way gate (the 6$ one on amazon) fits perfectly into the qanba joystick
could you post the link or specific part number? new to modding and want to make sure it goes smoothly
I just want to change the color. Not mod the button plugins.
+hurtboxtv would I be able to use a Hori Hayabusa with this?
Yes, you would however not be able to keep the LED in the stick. I don't believe you would be able to do the same mod as I did here. (don't know cause I don't have a hayabusa stick on me.)
I’ve been trying to get the balltop off for an hour plus still can’t do it lol. Tips?
Metal is almost destroyed lmao
Why not just use Sanwa button microswitches? They are cheaper than buying buttons just to get the switch out of. I had an injustice stick and I just replaced the switches. The buttons on the crystal and the injustice stick are nearly identical
Because I had these ones laying around when I replaced them, yes you can just buy the microswitches but I did this from a "I already have sanwas and want to put them in my stick, what do?"
that makes sense. I like how those switches make those buttons feel. Sure they are sanwa switches but they look, feel, and sound like seimitsu buttons
will a Sanwa gate work on the qanba stick?
Yes.
My frnd your video is confusing pls tell me sanwa jlf is compatible or not bcz u said u were missing inputs
ankur verma he said it works if you use only the sanwa pcb/switchboard and restrictor gate. Personally, I ended up changing the stick back to stock after trying the mod because of too many missed/inconsistent inputs. It wasn’t worth it for me. I kept the sanwa button switch mod, though.
If I just want to replace the white button plungers with colored sanwa plungers retaining led function which sanwa plunger size should i get? 24mm or 30mm?
Does it matter on what mm the sanwa buttons are?
yes, the main 8 buttons are almost always 30mm. These are 30mm buttons. when it comes to something like the hitbox, they use 24mm buttons.
30mm is the standard size for buttons
@@HurtboxTV thanks a whole lot!
Can't watch with the fingernails. Trips me out
