I bought this stick last month too. I’m surprised at how much I like it. I was kind skeptical of it since I’ve seen it, the all-plastic construction, the lack of LS/RS functionality. And honestly, first impressions were that it felt kinda cheap. But I swapped the buttons and stick for a Seimitsu LS-56 and PS-14-GN Keikou Yellow and it’s become my favorite stick. I have the Obsidian 2 also, and I love it. It definitely feels more premium than this but the size, weight and Noir layout just feel good on the lap. It’s not perfect. I don’t like the stock Hayabusa parts, and I don’t actually find the latch any easier or more convenient for modding. When you unscrew a bottom lid, you can just flip it onto your lap with the lever down between your legs and it’s easy to work on. With this opening lid design, the stick and buttons kinda flip out away from you so you reposition everything just to get a comfortable work space. But despite those minor complaints, it’s a solid stick and it’s become my daily driver.
I have the Alpha too, it only weighs 2.7kg, but I'm actually looking for a 2nd hand RAPV as well, since that's even lighter (2.2kg) for me to bring around!
@serow Definitely.This was the first time I bought one of their products and it just caught me off guard.Cause i'm so used to how all the other sticks feel kind of Heavy

I'm thinking about changing the buttons to the KS Gravity I agree it has a lot of minor design flaws still feel like it is a solid stick
Nice video!.. Yeah the wires are close.Can you custom yourself?

I still play with a fight pad.Havent played with joy stick yet. How you feel about the hitbox?
I do like the hitbox and definitely make certain inputs easier to do but it also is a big adjustment period
