I might do the same, especially now that I have a steady source of income. Hopefully it's not too big so I can carry it around.

Looks pretty interesting. The Qanba Dragon that is. I might pick one of these up in the future.
Still waiting for the Hori FE to be announced....

New Hori Hayabusa. Has a headphone jack.
Beat you to the punch there, buddy (welcome to my world). Though I will give you points for adding an image of the stick.

Just realized my new HRAP 4 Kai doesn't work on win XP. : (

Fuck. Might have to bite. I really like the look.
why are you still on XP?
Does the HRAP 4 Kai have XInput? If so, you might need to install Xbox 360 controller drivers for XP; google around for them.
Otherwise, that's unfortunate.

I microwave steaks.
damn, I wonder if Jasen will make a te2 ez board for this model too.
Good to see stick manufacturers finally adding headphone jacks to their sticks. It's a very convenient feature to have in any controller. Hopefully none of them forget the microphone-in.

Nonsense. You can never have too many.

A philosophy to live by
I'm getting there, and I'm kinda shocked I turned into one of those people who has multiple sticks since I don't even compete. I got a Hori Kai first, then got a TE2+ which ended up being defective TWICE, and then got the HRAPV but I'm kinda not liking the form factor/way it allows your hands to rest and the custom plexi doesn't really fit right, so I'm probably going to pick up the new Qanba. I might just end up tossing the TE2+ to make room.

I started off with a madcatz pad back in 09 and then I wanted to buy my first stick which ended being the real low budget Hori Ex 2. After playing on it a bit, I wanted to buy a TE but around that time it was sold out everywhere so I settled for a SE stick with sanwa stick/buttons as my first legit arcade stick. But I was still wanted the premium arcade stick that everyone was using at the time which was the RD 1 TE stick. I eventually bought one and it's been my stick ever since. I recently replaced the sanwa lever with a new one after playing on the original one for like 5 years straight. Now I recently bought an HRAP 4 Kai. The hayabusa buttons are not bad and the diagonals are a bit weird on the lever. Wish there was more room for your hands on the stick itself though.
Damn, that new Qanba is 300 bucks, lol.
I'd rather buy another VLX.

Dimensions and weight are definitely comparable.
I'm still waiting on the Hori FE.

Ummm, what? lol, that's waaaaay too pricey for something that looks like a direct competitor to the TE2+. I might bite on the Qanba Crystal instead.
The weight and dimensions fall in line with the VLX. Would help to have actual pics and comparisons to give a sense of the size.

Not interested in Dragon unless the discounts are deep. Amazon seems to sell the Carbon and Drone for less than MSRP pretty often so I remain hopeful.

3 bills? Yikes.
I'll hope for a sale. Or just buy one for science.
Hori FE needs to come out now! SFV Season 2 exclusive please
How exactly do LEDs work inside of sticks? I'm eyeing the Qanba Crystal stick which has LED lights for the stick/buttons, but I'd be swapping parts to Sanwa/Seimitsu and don't know if I have to have any consideration for the lights.
Also, speaking of the Crystal, is it just me or is there practically no info out for this stick? It's making me kind of apprehensive about ordering it before some reviews pop up.

I'd need to see a teardown to really say. I have kaimana LED's in my TE2, they are specifically designed to fit around the base of sanwa buttons. If the LEDs in the crystal are specifically fit with the buttons, it could be an issue

I've been messing around with the hayabusa lever a bit and the diagonals are weird. If this stick had microswitches like the JLF, it'd be perfect.

What? Did you get an optical replacement or something? The Hayabusa absolutely uses switches by default.

I think they want the JLF's Omron switches specifically

Arcade Shock Black Friday deals are already starting. You can get the new JP Import VLX for $249.99.
https://arcadeshock.com/collections/frontpage/products/hori-real-arcade-pro-v-premium-vlx-hayabusa-ps4-ps3-jp-import
There is also a 25% off storewide savings code you can use for other items. Wonder if it'll work on preorders for the Qanba Dragon.

Had to swap out the hayabusa. The diagonals were unbearable.
Did you try the octopus gate for it? It is really amazing honestly.
ewww
Agreed. The lack of a gate on the Myoungshin Fanta is really nice I feel for intermediate to advanced players because after a while you don't need a gate when you have your muscle memory down and are used to using a stick. I really recommend it to players who are looking for a different feel than a JLF lever. Really excited to use it with Tekken 7.
The Airbag version of the stick has Thailand switches instead which is typically used in Semitsu sticks and a securing metal plate under the microswitches.

Yep, just replace the PCB in there with this guy: https://www.focusattack.com/brook-universal-fighting-board/ No solder needed. That'll let it work on 360/PS3/X1/PS4.

That's amazing.
Almost all PS4 fighters use the skullgirls driver. I think only Injustice and GGXrd don't. Even Last Blade 2, a PSN title does.
But, barring that, you can always buy brook converters. They're great:

One gripe I have with the HRAP is the lack of space for your hand when gripping the stick.

Love the color scheme. Reminds me of the Sega Master System.
