I'm getting frustrated with Hori, lolHori just tweeted this:
When's the FE2 already
I just got the Razer Panthera from the half off sale they had, and am quite happy with it so far. So much nicer than the Mad Catz TES+. More hand room on the top surface without the bezel which can be annoying, the L3&R3 buttons are much easier to press than the overly stiff ones on the TES+, the touchpad is easy to reach, and I actually like the start button on the right side better than the front, although I still prefer it on the top. Less of a reach but still not likely to hit, and you can always lock them if it's a worry.
It feels much more like a premium product. Heavy, but not too much so, and quite solid. It doesn't feel or sound overly loud and hollow like some do. Being able to open it is super cool, even if I'm probably not going to fiddle with parts at all. I really even like the default color scheme. The true black buttons look better than the grey ones Mad Catz used. If someone was looking at either this or the TES+, I would no doubt recommend the Panthera over it.
So glad I saw that special when I did and jumped on it. I already pre-ordered an Obsidian, but this was a ridiculous deal, and so far seems like a very high quality stick. Gonna have to sell an old one or two now, but totally worth it.
My only knocks are the lack of a headphone port, no physical PC switch, and you can't store the USB cable inside without having to disconnect it, but nothing huge. I like the default art, so that's not a con for me.

Thing I hate about the HRAP is the lack of room for your hands and that flimsy ass back door panel

Heck yeah! Owning a cab is the best, got a new one moving in soonish myself
Lucky you, I can't wait to have the income to be able to afford one of those.
Friend asked me if I wanted to buy it, or knew anybody that did, and sent me a pic. I thought it was just a Kraylix. I already have one, so I was like...I'll check around. Then he sent me more pics and I was like...wait a second...
Now I need to start looking into arcade boards. #hype

I want one but I want a Xbox ONE/360 version not just a PS4/PS3 one only for the fact that I want a Noir-style layout because thats what I feel comfortable with

I'd rather they just make more type-n panels.
Madcatz won't be getting any more of my money for sticks after the PCB issues they've been having.

No need to bother posting about MCZ sticks at this point. Anyone who is dumb enough to buy them gets what they deserve.

Having a problem wiring a Dreamcast stick atm.
The current PCB is from a Blaze Twin Dreamcast stick. I have tested the stick before taking it out of the shell.
Using tape to temporarily secure wires. Currently only Start, Z, and C are working properly. Not sure why the other buttons refuse to work.
Perhaps I'm not wiring it properly?

It's hard to tell from it directly, but unless you removed them for picture reasons, at least 3 of the green buttons aren't wired to anything other than ground. For the rest, I'd check connections, because that's one hell of a mess of wires.
Why do you say that? Where did you order from?

Just dropped in the Xtension 2 player stick into my Xtension cab. Whole piece is built like a tank! It was a little pricey, but worth it imo. Prior to this, I would just use 2 sticks placed on the table top. Feels a lot better when it's integrated into the cab.
Might eventually swap out the Sanwa buttons for Semitsu - other than that, I recommend it highly to anyone who has this model cab.
That's not fair. It was still shown as a preorder bonus when I preordered from trycelery on the 3rd
That is what focus attack told me. I think trycelercy is Qanba own payment account, so I suggest calling them directly to make sure.
Maybe you guys can answer this question for me.
I have a Round 1 TE stick. I'm looking to order a black plexiglass replacement for a cleaner look.
Can I buy the TE-Full plexi and forgo using a bezel and have my stick look like this:
http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/index.cfm?loc=products&cat=1&subcat=&item=30
Or do I have to order the one that implements the bezel?
http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/index.cfm?loc=products&cat=1&subcat=&item=24
I really hope I can lose the bezel.

You don't need the bezel one. Any TE stick can have the full panel
Thank you!

Well I got my Qanba Obsidian last night. It feels great, but mine is defective. It works on PlayStation but it doesn't work on PC. Regardless of the setting. I spent a few hours last night trying my best and trying different PCs and it just wouldn't work properly.
It's a shame, hopefully focus attack will help me out and get this sorted out quickly.
It's like driving a really fantastic car, but it can only drive on certain roads.

Also got my Obsidian last night, probably my favorite shell since the TE1.
It's probably not defective (if it works on console), it's just how modded sticks sometimes work. The USB port on your PC isn't supplying enough power, or something like that, I'm not a rocket scientist.
Try these fixes, http://forums.shoryuken.com/discuss...tor-request-failed-or-port-reset-failed-error
If those don't work (they didn't work for me), then use the USB ports on the back of your PC and it should work.

I got mine yesterday as well. I think it just uses a lot of power over USB, so it can be picky.
I use USB extension cords for both my living room PC and PS4 so I can plug sticks into those without putting wear over and over again on my PS4 and PC's built-in USB ports
I found that this stick is not recognized properly if I use the extension cord on either, however it works fine on both the PS4 and PC directly. The funny thing is on the PS4 I also tried connecting by plugging a little non-powered USB hub into the USB extension cable than then the controller into the hub, and it works just fine. Really odd.
I noticed the same thing happening with a TES+ stick I had. Worked fine directly on the PS4, not with just the extender, but fine with the extender+ hub.
So, I don't think it's defective, but perhaps these stick with a lot of LEDs is picky about the USB port being used. Try different ones on your machine. If you have a little hub sitting around, try that for the heck of it.
As far as the stick itself. I think it's OK, but not amazing. The LEDs seem pointless (which may be leading to some of these quirks), and the option/start button being so small at the top is not ideal. I much prefer the Sanwa buttons on other sticks for the select/start. I think I prefer the Panthera over it. If I had known I could have gotten that Panthera for half off like I did, I probably wouldn't have pre-ordered the Obsidian.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried the back ports and it worked for about 1 minute then it would just shut off.
I figured it was power because when I added an extender to the rear USB port (I did that when I thought the rear port was going to work) it no longer worked.
I'll just post what I sent their support team
Well I bought a powered USB hub and hope for the best. If not focusattack is going to help me return it to qanba for a replacement.
Eightarc responded to an email and told me to make sure its an usb 2.0 and to hold options and share for 10 seconds to reset the settings of the stick.
I guess I have a few options to try when I get home.

Not liking the return to the old SCV molds.
With Madcatz more or less out of the picture I see Hori falling back into old habits. Guess they don't see Qanba as a threat.

my only gripe is that none of these tekken sticks use fanta levers, I know jp sticks are the norm, but if there's one thing tekken is known for when it comes to controls is that korea popularized the fantas.
but i want that white hori xbone t7 stick, i dont even have the console lol

I've never been a fan of the noir layout but I cannot deny that Xbone stick is sexy AF.

noir cramps my hands. The day Vewlix became a thing I could use was happy for me, because my hands aren't tiny Japanese hands. They're giant Texan hands.
Vewlix is more cramped than noir, though.
I'm 6'4 and think Vewlix sucks. buttons are too close to the stick.

yup, that's why i made a custom stick with extra spacing for last gen. my korean uses the viewlix layout though so i've had to get used to it because of that.
iirc there's an hrap4 model with a larger space between buttons and stick

That's why the Vewlix Kai is perfect for me. Plenty of space, non-cramping layout. I just wish they'd default to 6 buttons and not 8 and I'd be happy.

I like the Qanba Carbon a lot as a budget PC/Android stick. It has both X-input and D-input. The dimensions might be a little big if you want something that's Hori Mini footprint though.
