The Sanwas are easier to depress and don't need to be pushed as far to activate as the Seimitsus, so the buttons on the right will feel different. Also, Sanwas are more convex whereas the Seimitsus are nearly flat, another difference in feel.jonah777 said:
There are Seimitsu snap-ins that are clear. Check akihabarashop.jp. Also, I believe the Seimitsu screw-ins aren't as large as the Sanwa ones, so you don't need to file them back anyway and they will be almost as easy to install (apart from manually turning the nuts).daegan said:

I'm only regretting that I didn't put my SE stick up on eBay before returning it to LameStop. It's funny, I couldn't even get $140 for it on craigs with Seimitsu parts installed.. but stock ones are selling for that amount on eBay.
ugh
Other than that, no. I have two TE's on preorder, one of which is 100% (and will likely be re-sold), and I also have two Death Smiles HRAPs on the way.
Now, if only I could find purple PS-14-K's... I don't want screw-ins. :/

Good that everybody will be able to get it. knew it would be hard for MadCatz to resist if there is a demand.
And bad that my stick won't be limited edition anymore.

By the way, how hard was it for people to cancel their Capcom shop orders? They've charged me for my TE Stick order but it's obviously not coming anytime soon. Amazon's order will be here next month so I don't want my Capcom order anymore. Do I have to call them up and stuff?
Clipper said:
Yeah I have the buttons and can feel the slightly stronger resistance Seimitsus have (I actually thought the Sanwas were broken they were so loose), but in actual gameplay I don't expect this to be crucial. Unless, of course, I'm talking out my ass... am I?
futnownarcade said:
This is good news. Should've been done (officially) a few weeks ago, but good to hear.
Has anyone else not received your TE stick yet?
The Game Crazy I preordered from was told by their distributor that a lot of the fighting sticks ($79.99) have been reported as defected and so they were recalling TE sticks to double check them before sending them out. Therefore, the shipments have been delayed. However, there is no timeframe on when they will go out.
Oh, this appears to be with the PS3 sticks, not 360. They received the TE 360 sticks last week (when they were supposed to be released).
I haven't seen any official announcement from MadCatz on this.

I've had some issues with the sensitivity of the Sanwa buttons on my TE. I'm re-training myself to keep my fingers arched when hitting all three punch buttons, because I occassionally activate the middle kick button with the knuckle of my index finger.jonah777 said:
They're REALLY sensitive. It takes very little pressure to set it off.

If you're using the VSHG with the stock PCB, you might be running into input weirdness.

Holy hell the price gouging on the SF 4 sticks is insane on ebay. 150 for the standard stick? No thanks.

I just bought 2 HRAP EXs, but with this market I think I'm going to have to just throw them right back up there. I don't want them THAT badly.

So am I the only one that prefers HAPP sticks and buttons or is it just that you can't find a stick that uses them commercially now?

FYI Amazon has the HORI EX for the x360 back in stock for msrp.

Nah, you're not the only one...I love Happ sticks and buttons, but can't mod them into my Fightstick SE so I went w/Seimitsu buttons and sticks.

Where does the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX stand.. worth buying?

Yes, I like mine very much.Assembly Required said:
The PS3 HRAP3 is in stock as well for $99.99. You people looking for sticks would do well to jump on these while they are available, which surely won't be for long. The HRAP3 is a better stick than the HRAP EX, if only for the easily-swappable stick compared to the soldered stick of the EX and for the turbo buttons absent from the EX.

nah, both have the same kind of gate. if it doesn't feel good to you, pick up an octogonal and see what you think. it's only $5 (lizardlick or that japanese place akaribashop.jp or something).bigben85 said:

Yeah the gate is held in place by four tabs and clips off if you wish to replace it.jonah777 said:
I'm a stalwart supporter of square gates though. Mine is stock.

Thanks for the heads-up; they weren't in-stock last night. $4 overnight Prime shipping ftw!!
I'm interested in making this more of a project stick and then keeping my TE stick stock whenever it shows up

...and as an owner of both, I say both are very manageable._dementia said:
the octogonal means you can push your stick all the way to the edges and it'll feel pretty natural. especially those circular motions. on the other hand, it being circular can sometimes mean that it's hard to find those corners when you're looking for that quick and confident down-away block or snap the end of a dragon punch motion with confidence.

I mostly play charge characters in FGs so I find octagonal gates absolutely horrible.Dreams-Visions said:

Wow that went quick I sent my roomate the amazon link by the time he got the email it sold out.

Should I be worried that the ship date for my PS3 TE stick still shows Feb 25th on Amazon even though I know it's delayed? A lot of people posted yesterday that their dates changed and mine seems frozen in time.

Amazon sent out emails to a bunch of us with gift certificates to appologize for the delay (they told me one week but some were told two).Hobbun said:
