I get more cash back buying through Amazon so I'll wait a few more weeks to see if they get them in stock

Worth noting that Newegg has the Hayabusa V4 in stock now, too. I'm having a hard time not dropping for one...
Yeah, I'm tempted, but I'm going to hold out for a ps3/ps4 fightingedge.
The price is almost within impulse range, though. If I didn't have a TE2 preordered, I'd probably buy the V4.

Snagged one
So the Kuro's are just a preference thing? or is there a significant quality difference from Sanwa?
I ask because my last experience with proprietary buttons was on one of the cheaper Qanba sticks and they didn't feel good at all.
It took for-fucking-ever to find a vendor that sells these. Finally the new Akishop.jp got them to me. I don't even have a controller to plug these into either, just stocking up for the future.
Interestingly, the shaft cover flops around like on a JLF and isn't wedged onto the shaft like on the LS-40.

what's this, LS-23 with a shaft cover?
That is the new hotness from Seimitsu, the LS-32-SC. Clever eh? I think it was announced like two years ago at JAEPO or some shit, was delayed a bunch of times, finally went on sale like six months ago, and no one bothered stocking any. In addition, the product code for it changed a bunch of times. I think it was the LS-45 at one point. I'm fairly sure Akishop just faxed a custom order to the factory for two when I clicked the checkout button. smh

Okay, that's pretty neat. Is the engage response identical to LS-32?
It seems to be. I haven't mounted it yet, so I can't really test it, but it's physically identical to a normal 32, so there shouldn't be any noticeable differences in feel. Just some extra plastic bits around the metal shaft.
I think they're worse. I've got two fighting edges, and the kuros on both squeak and stick a bit.
I've been trying to break them in, but to no avail. . They've got a slightly wider body than typical seis and sanwas that is taking me some adjusting. I keep hitting two buttons when I mean to hit one.

Still debating on waiting for the TE2 or just jumping on this one
Slapping a hayabusa on a TE2 sounds like it'd be the best if it wasn't for money
I just bought an XBOX One mainly for Killer Instinct. Anybody know if the Razer or the Madcatz stick is better? Recommendations?
Btw, I have a few arcade sticks for sale in the BST thread. I rarely use these sticks since I bought my 2 arcade cabinets.

Honestly, they are about the same. I have both and they are so similar that I couldnt choose one over the other. Just choose the style you like better. I guess my vote is for the Razer since the TE2 has the red sides which I am not fond of.
That's a great price on the evo stick! I always wanted one, but have since bought something else.
My experience has been that while the engage in the Hayabusa stick is really similar to an LS-32, the Hayabusa is noticeably smoother. I like it so much in my console stick that I put them in my Blast City control panel too!

I just made the switch from an LS32 to a silent JLF with kowal actuator. I love it! Now I can play when everyone is sleeping too 
this thing is so quiet and has almost zero play at neutral.
PS- Anyone want to buy a lightly used LS32 with harness, black balltop, original dustwasher, and one black and one clear dustwasher?

Both feature very similar elements including internal access, detachable cables, easy artwork swapping, anti-slip bottom pad, etc.
There are some stuff that each stick has more favor in such as Razer's relatively bigger room for modding and better bottom pad material, Mad Catz's bigger body and LED mounts (with either KI TE2 LED board or Paradise Arcade Shop's LVT3 board), etc.
While I don't know about Razer's Atrox Xbox One model, the TE2 offers multi-platfom modding through community support like Phreak Mods' TE2 Crossbone unit.

I bought some recently. They had that problem at first but the got nullified after some use. Probably one of my favorite buttons to date.
I sent you a PM.
I've been using them since I got my white FE. Nope.
Luckily I have tons of spare buttons.
So I'm looking to buy this: http://www.canadianjoysticks.com/qanba-q3-do-it-yourself-joystick-shell-case/ Or another possibly cheaper case if anyone has any recommendations and put in the PCB from a Mad Catz Brawlstick. (Buttons and Joystick are Sanwa)
This should work, shouldn't it? Only reason I'm doing it is because I think the Brawlstick is a bit too small and minimal. Looking for something bigger, nicer as well.
Edit: Also where would be the best place to get artwork printed out?

is that... ventilation?
So very very sexy~
But since the shipping from Japan to Brazil (for this kind of order) is prohibitive, it's a no go for me
Either that or a loudspeaker so you can hear the announcer's voice by it (like with the DS4, lol)

Eyeing up that R,A,P Hori arcade stick for Xbox One. Looking to get my freak on in Killer Instinct, and arcade emulation on PC. Anyone got experience with this brand of stick and can tell me how they are? I have a Hori EX2 for 360 and had an excellent expoerience with that one. Does anyone also know if these new sticks have windows drivers as well?

bought a used Hori hayabusa ps3+ps4 stick for 124 listed as very good. How hard is it to swap buttons and where can I get buttons? never did any mods on my stick but if I don't like the buttons, i rather not return the stick since the madcatz one is 200 bucks

It's super easy. You can get new buttons at Focusattack.
124? where?

Looking for suggestions on what I should price my BlazBlue limited edition stick (PS3) at and any other suggested selling places outside of the buy/sell/trade thread. It's barely been used and I have the original box and all. Thanks.
Persona and Xrd TE2s up for preorder on the madcatz site.
Just FYI, if anybody does, they will pre-authorize the card for the full amount and then refund it to your account 3-5 business days later.

Did the SF4 TE2 ever go up on Amazon?
They have not yet.
"End of the month" for PS3/PS4. "Early December" for X360.
This is the last time I'll be ordering anything from MadCatz directly. Not having a specific date for a huge charge is infuriating me.

Yes, right here:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P94G2NQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
That's for the Ultra SFIVdesign. There's one that looks like the existing generic design Xbox One red stick, but in blue released in Japan, but no word on that one in the US yet.

Is there a stick that works on both Xbox One and PS4 yet? I know I saw a few cross console ones last geb.

I was hoping to purchase the Xrd stick through Amazon
and yeah it kind of sucks that there's only vague release dates for all these sticks. At least for the Xrd ones it's supposed to be the release week of the game in their respective territories.
I'll give it until the first week in Dec to see if it pops up on the store. If not I'll just pull the trigger on the HRAP4 and change the buttons if I feel I have to.
I also don't want to order anything through Madcatz directly. Not only the points thing but I don't want them charging the full amount now even as an authorization confirmation.

No idea, it's really hard to find via search for some reason.
MarkMan mentioned this on SRK:
"We will have a special promo for the USFIV TE2 during Capcom Cup Finals week. Stay tuned!"
So, I'm going to wait and see, even though I have amazon credit to use.
Yeah, Markman said released with the game, but on the website it says "End of December."
I think they showed it at TGS this year:
That one, right?

but they kinda making it hard

lol.
The only reason I chose a TE2 over the RAP4 right now is because I want a FightingEdge on ps4 and I'm only buying two PS4 sticks this generation.
Unless they make another VLX.

That one but with gray buttons/black stick. It's on Amazon Japan currently. The yellow button one was just a limited version, I believe.
