Kk, anything in particular you want shots of?
Just a real shot...the ones online were renders. Let us know how it compares to the Vewlix.

Here are some quick shots. My early impressions are pretty positive, it's got a great size and weight to it, and the stock Qanba parts actually feel pretty good. They remind me of my Sanwa stick and Seimitsu buttons, so I might leave them on for a bit before I swap.Just a real shot...the ones online were renders. Let us know how it compares to the Vewlix.
So I brought a Hori RAP4 Kai, but one of nubs broke off from the cable compartment door. I was able to talk down the price, but is there anyway to fix this?
Is there anything wrong with the xarcade tankstick?
Seems mostly TE2 issues, not TES?Read through the thread. 1-2 pages back is a discussion of the poor quality of current gen MadCatz sticks.
TES and TE2 are the same sticks on the inside. In general MCZ is not worth putting your money in to this generation. Depending on what your want the stick for, the Venom or Hori are better choices for UK folks.
I've not had any problems with my Chun Li TE2, that said I probably don't use it as much as others.
X-Arcade used to be seen as infinitely shitty back in the day, because while the sticks performed well on PC, they used to lag significantly. Not sure if they've fixed that problem all these years later.
Ah right guess they were made after Madcatz went through their cost cutting measures.The problems seem to be with the TE-S and TE2+.
If you are looking for a battop joystick and lever, I would go to a Crown or Myoungshin fanta stick. They are both Korean sticks and feel great.Is there a better reputation american style brand? I doubt MAS exists anymore and that is the only other american style stick I used to see being talked about.
I may actually get that one.How many different Qanba sticks are in the pipeline?

I have a TE2 that I could sell to get some extra cash for that.Whoa that Obsidian looks awesome.
I might sell a TES+ to help cover that.
Even at £80 for the TES+ vs £70 for the Venom?
Why would he have to send in the TES?Add in the cost of having to send in the TES for repair and the investment changes
Why would he have to send in the TES?
with MCZ sticks, its inevitable
Ugh, new Obsidian announcement + the fact that I "fixed" my TE2+ last night (Stupid issue with how the wires were set up by MadCatz that I should have noticed earlier, though it remains to be seen if this one also has the board problem my original had) means buying the Crystal was a huge mistake. Qanba's return policy seems pretty terrible, so I might just try to sell it off myself to make back most of what I spent.
Anyone know the best apps to use for listing a stick? Is Craigslist still the go to place?
have two TEs from SF4 days, still gravy.
Ordering from Focus Attack gets you a free Guardian backpack, which is $50-60 on its own.

If you pre-order on FA does it take your money right away or when it ships?
judging lag by netcode is a bad call, especially sfv netcode lol. if you are looking for a stick that is an easy mod, the te will do you well but beware any pcb issues. though if you wanted to mod the pcb anyway, then you are safe.
Qanba this gen is again killing it with these joystick designs. I'd honestly say they have surpassed the other mass manufacturers.
i'm referring to this new generation of sticks, as i have pointed out on this page
Qanba is coming at MadCatz's neck right now. MadCatz is basically done after this gen.
they charge the whole amount right away
you can use the te2 ez mod in conjunction with the brooks ufb to mod it for all consoles though.I would not get their stuff at this point because once they go out of business you're SOL if your stick breaks.
I've never had a problem with Mad Catz sticks and through the years I've owned quite a few:with MCZ sticks, its inevitable
I've never had a problem with Mad Catz sticks and through the years I've owned quite a few:

I own just an original TE (360) now which I bought from another member recently. I love it.
