    been watching your stuff since evo 2018 (which i attended and was blessed to have sat through the full Sunday) . I recently bought a used qanba q2 pro (with brook adapter to ps4) and this vid showed me that i made a good buy (initially i bought it to try stick for gg xrd rev 2 and it seemed nice for 25$). thank you for doing what you do... and keep it up!!!

      This provides aesthetic, the Ibsidian I'd more standard, and the Panthera (original, not EVO) provides easy access to modding.
      I personally chose and only have the Panthera, so looking for other's opinions is better. Good luck!

    Some of the Qanba parts are really similar to Sanwa.
    Now that is said, I am assuming here the Sw-68 sanwa button microswitch would most likely install in the Qanba buttons well (simular to other All Qanba parts arcade sticks).

      Maybe it's just me but it seems like I can't do quarter circles to the left very well. It seems like I do down then left and I keep missing the diagonal left. Then again I am new to this so it might just take some time. Overall, it's solid. I love the weight and the size and overall cleanness of the layout. Before you buy it, be smarter then me and use a promotion code that you can easily find by browsing around google and youtube. I found one for about $15 off after I already purchased and received it.

      According to tests, the fastest stick is the Hori VX-SA. I don't know if the VX-SA Kai uses the same pcb, but the VX-SA is still on www.ArcadeShock.com. You can dual mod the stick with the Phreakmods cerberus (no connector version) for a complete, lag-free stick. I heard the Razer Atrox is pretty fast too. Tbh, the slight ms input delay is pretty much irrelevant in the long run.

    • @quickplaya
      @quickplaya 9 лет назад

      I won't not listen to Tavis Taite... the PCB on VX-SA only lasts for a few months... also you will want SANWA parts.... any Madcatz TOURNAMENT EDITION (make sure it says TOURNAMENT EDITION WITH SANWA OR DO NOT BUY) will last you forever... all my friends have been using there TE sticks for over 4 years now with absolutely no problems or modding. Enjoy.

      redvenomweb I'm sorry but, what do you mean with the full gate?

    • @redvenomweb
      @redvenomweb 9 лет назад

      Ashir
      Most Sanwa gates have a clear main section (about 3 in/5 cm in diameter) and then a colored pop-out inner section (about 1 in/2 cm in diameter). If you want to switch from square to octo (or even circle) you can just swap out the small inner section.
      However, the Qanba gate is all one piece (it doesn't have a pop-out center), so you need to swap out the whole thing.

      redvenomweb So... normaly I just buy this
      www.amazon.com/Sanwa-GT-Y-Octagonal-Restrictor-Joysticks/dp/B004AU0H4U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428625807&sr=8-1&keywords=sanwa+gate

      Ashir No, that's the only part you need for this stick. If you had a normal Sanwa square gate, you would only need to replace the yellow pop-out insert in the center of the item you linked.

    I wanted to see you play with it a bit! (that's right. play with your joystick for us.)
    No but seriously, in-game usage of it would've been nice.
