i still have one from last year. unsure if i'm ever gonna use it, i should probably sell it lol
Arcade Shock gonna be selling Hayabusa buttons at their EVO booth, also these EVO branded buttons and balltops:
Dang that's shiny. You can see a perfect reflection of the photography studio on the balltops, haha.
Are they also gonna come in 24mm?
I have a bat top and a balltop.
Last year they added a different texture of wood. Have they shown anything on what they'll have this year?

Yeah I see some on the same twitter account linked above. They appear to be smooth, not textured.

Why does EVO get all the cool stuff 
I have no interest in ever attending one and I always feel like I miss out on cool stuff because of it.

Yeah, I wish companies would sell them online but I guess the exclusivity is part of what makes people interested in the first place.

Unlikely. They don't usually do their specialty buttons in a smaller size. I'd love to be wrong though
Rip my start/share button dreams.
Got the drone, time for my inexperienced thoughts.
It's light. Like, VERY light, and that also extends to the buttons and stick, they don't feel bad, but they're definitely not top of the line parts.
The system does work very serviceable though, plugged it into my laptop and it was working immediately, put on VSAV and I could do all the motions. It's a little awkward compared to using a more heavier stick, which I was for a time, but it's fine. It's worth the price if you want a good entry level stick, but just know what you're getting beforehand.

Thanks for the impressions! I guess the hollowness is expected at that price point. Is the base metal at least or are we looking at an entirely plastic enclosure?
Plastic.

Thanks again. The top plate of the Q1 (their last-gen entry level stick) had metal, so I was hopeful.

Dunno if this means anything to anyone but this site appears to be taking inventory of pro players peripheral of choice.

Thx for the impressions! Mine should be delivered by Tuesday. Did you open yours up to check how easy modding would be? I'm assuming its standard 5-pin connector and quick disconnects etc.

Question: How different or alike are the Seimitsu LS-56 and the Hayabusa 2lb spring mod as far as tension/stiffness??
I haven't opened it, BUT there's a knob on the back that according to the instruction manual, if you turn it it allows easy access to the joystick

Does it still have the stock joystick or a JLF? If it's a JLF, that's no problem. If it's the stock joystick, I want to think based on images (and this mod video) that it might work, but I'm not 100% sure.
EDIT: Looks like a JLF clone to me. I think it will work.Grabbed these shots from the mod video.
Care to post pics?
I can't for the life of me get the stock gate off the SE stick part I've just dug out the cupboard, but eyeballing it next to square gate I pulled off my genuine Sanwa suggests they are more-or-less identical in terms of fitting. I should have thought that any Sanwa gate part should work just fine.
That being said, I seem to remember there being an issue with the original run of SE sticks which caused the stick part to commit suicide over time (something to do with a loose washer or something). If you can afford to, replacing it with a genuine Sanwa whilst you have the thing open might actually be a worthwhile exercise in the long run.

They are very hard to remove from the SE sticks. I remember having a hard time with that.

Asking one more time! I'm close to going for the LS-56 for the Drone but want to know how it compares to a modded Hayabusa, stiffness-wise.

Arcade Shock will sell the EVO branded ones at EVO, and plain ones later.

Got this gold ball top from Focus Attack a couple months ago for my Kai. No need to wait for EVO

Now all I need is a store that won't charge me upwards of 10 on shipping for an incredibly small part that costs less than 5. -.-'
Store recomendations for Europeans?

and here I was proud of my last wiring job...
what is your strategy for running through the quick disconnects like that. I feel like I've done pretty well running the grounds, but nothing as clean as this.

Looks very clean. Good job!

I don't normally comment on custom stick posts here, but goddamn that might be the nicest stick I've ever seen (both inside and out).

Really clean build!
Thanks very much for the positive feedback guys!
Just finished up several new builds so I am going to be posting one a day to do an Evo countdown
@ShadowSoldier89
I like to feed the wire through the bottom of the quick disconnects so that you can then send the trailing wires down the line of buttons. Once that is done you can trail the JLF harness right along with them via the bottom row to your pcb.

If you hate Kuro buttons you better be ready to replace those.
I do.
Check amazon itself, it's sadly the one with Kuro buttons.

How can you tell? My Amazon app just pulls up both the Hayabusa and Kuro VLX but no indication which is set for Prime Day.
