The SFXT sticks have about 20-30 labels over 1000 out in the wild. This was due to some labels getting damaged/scrapped in the manufacturing process. Simply a miscommunication with the factory that we had too late. Unfortunate I wasn't notified earlier.
But the stick really is 'limited'. Trust me, there were only 1000 total made.
The Femme Fatale stick didn't sell out when it was put on sale either, the Xbox 360 one took about a week to sell through, then about a month or two for the PS3 ones.
Overestimated the demand? Nah. Do you think we want to sell out right away? lol. We can afford to have some sticks hang out in our web store for awhile. We actually like to have different stock on the web store.

Is there any way i can use my regular headphones on any arcade stick? i googled and nada.
I own 2 SF4 TE sticks and just want to plug in some studio monitor headphones while playing late at night .
I would appreciate any information you may have on this, i know i can't be the only person who wants to plug in normal headphones while gaming. right?
thanks in advance for any info

You can't I'm afraid. Game audio itself isn't transferred through controllers.JrBaconCheeseburger said:
Perhaps your TV has a headphone input?

Ordered some countersink bits and a stop collar.
Getting closer to having all the tools I need to begin crafting my new weapon!
In the meantime I'm going to reinforce my ailing MAS stick which is falling apart.

so I'm sure this will be blasphemy, but I'm switching out the sanwa parts I put into my SF4 stick with Happ buttons, any issues with doing this I should know about? I know I'll have to stay with sanwa for my joystick because to add a Happ you have to mod the case which I'm not in a rush to do

is there a way to put custom art on the sfxt stick? it doesn't seem like you can by looking at it.

I think Happ buttons might be too small for the 30mm holes. You might have to get a custom top plate done.GodfatherX said:

Instead of longer profile Happ/ iL buttons, you can mod with lower profile Sanwa OBS series buttons, as pictured above, e.g. OBS-30-A/B. These buttons are quite similar to Happ/ iL (they use clicky-switches).
I don't like these stock OBS buttons (too stiff), but you can replace their switches with Cherry ones found in Happ/ iL buttons (or any other V3-sized, snap-action microswitches).
You'll need to remove the microswitch assembly, remove the rivets and replace them with matching nuts & bolts.
There maybe excessive friction from the whole button assembly (some cheap plastics used), but that can be fixed easily with some silicone grease and general use.
Unlike Happ/ iL, these OBS button enclosures don't have an internal spring; they feel different. However, they are the same, standard, Sanwa OBSF/ OBSN convex button enclosures; therefore, you can use your existing Sanwa buttons, and only need to replace the lower microswitch assembly (they can be bought separately, IIRC).
These are expensive buttons, and some effort is required, but at least there's another option available, with a lower profile...

Here's a good well descriptive review of the Qanba Q4RAF from DSP. DarkSydePhil used to be a competitive fighting game player. Placed 4th at EVO 2005 for Super Turbo I believe. So his word is pretty good.

Is there any way to give my ball-top a more rubberized texture? I find it slipping far too often for my tastes. I bought a mesh-top thinking it was full of grooves but it turned out to just be a pattern which was disappointing.

Wrap rubber bands around it perhaps?
I suggest Plati Dip - It's relatively cheap, well-liked among hobbyists, and gives anything a nice rubberized coating. You could also try Sugru, a kind of self-curing silicone putty, but you'd have a tougher time getting a smooth layer over the entire surface of the ball top, as opposed to Plasti Dip being a thick liquid that you could actually dunk something in.grap3fruitman said:
Managed to pick up 2 Hitboxes over the past 3 weeks. A PS3 / PC one ( top ) and a PS3 / Dualmod one.
It's fantastic!!! If you guys can land yourselves one go for it!! The precision is just incredible on this thing!!The hardest thing you'll have to get used to is general movement. But with a few days of practice you'll easily get adjusted to it. Things like special moves, combos, etc all come with ease. I was pulling off super jumps instantly cancelled into down forward dash (triangle dashes ) the first day thanks to Down + Up = Super Jump in MvC3
. Pretty much instant overhead 100% of the timeNeed to work on my 360 motions but almost a month and a half of practice in MvC3 for Ultimate
The hardest move to pull off is the the half circle motion on the dualmod when playing on the 360. In MvC3 in particular I can get it to come out sometimes but still haven't gotten the movement down.
Size comparison with some of my other sticks.
Oh the Tiger Knee motions are so easy on this its stupid lol. Also I will probably be putting the PS3 / PC on eBay shortly as I don't need it so check that out soon.

Got this in the other day...
eightarc's "Pearl" PS3/PC Arcade Joystick. eightarc is a partner company of Qanba. There are some specific differences between this stick and previous Qanba released iterations.
More details here: http://eightarc.com
I'm creeping up on 300 in my collection..

He seems really impressed by that felt base... You can easily buy something more comfortable, and versatile, for existing sticks and other gaming equipment - lapdesk thingies:

As for the rest of the stick? Yawn. Here's more Sanwa gear, wrapped up in a shiny case.
I think the world needs newer, better joysticks, not more fancy enclosures...

I asked why they are so cheap not expensive.MarkMan said:
Anyway, any idea what the postage is on those within the USA for comparison with typical UK prices.
Akihabarashop in Japan has Sanwas for $32.4 prior to expensive overseas postage.

You should build a fort out of stick boxes
The guys in SF4 GAF aren't too knowledgable about arcade stick parts, it seems, so I'm asking you guys.
I'm having a problem with the "rebound" on my TE Stick (Sanwa). When I let go of the stick from the 'back' position, instead of going back to neutral, it rebounds too far and inputs a quick 'forward' motion. I can tell this from turning on input display in training mode.
Can I get a stick that either has a tighter rebound (gets locked into the neutral position after letting go of the stick, without giving an extra, unnecessary input), or that rebounds slightly slow (so there is not enough inertia to cause it to add an extra input)?
I was thinking about maybe getting a seimetsu or some other brand stick to help with this problem of rebound. Anyone got some suggestions?

Cheapest solution would be to get a stiffer spring to replace or add to the JLF you're using. More expensive but (IMO) better solution is to get a Seimitsu LS-32-01 and swap it out. Much stiffer spring and shorter throw in general compared to a JLF.

The ball itself spinning means it's loose. I've found that any top I've put on my LS32 seems to stay put better than on any JLF I've used (and I've used several). I prefer the snugness of the battops fitting onto it, but ball tops stay just as well. If anything I would suggest using a screwdriver and turning it REALLY hard.Timedog said:

Excellent. Finally, some impressions on the HitBoxes. I'd be so down to try them out.
As well as the question above ^^^, how do I mod my TE stick artwork? This video shows a guy doing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5e6IfpJ5h8&feature=related
But he has some exotic machine that laminates one side of something, and puts adhesive on the other side. I'm sure I can make the art fine in photoshop or whatever, but what can I use to laminate or treat the artwork before putting it on, what type of paper should I use, and or where could I get this made at?

You can get a new plexi from this dude: http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/ He'll also print out the artwork if you don't want to deal with it.

Frankly, I'd do this rather than making a sticky one. You could easily print multiple artwork underlays and just swap them when you feel like it.
