I guess it's an alternative to Hori and Qanba. I don't know how I feel about the big ol' shelf for your wrists. Also, I don't know why they have these stupid square buttons for options. What's wrong with 24mm?

I'd rather use sanwa over any of that other garbage. Hori is lol.

Oh I always swap out parts for Sanwa or Seimitsu. Personally, I'm more concerned about getting a good looking, compact enclosure. I don't like how any of the ones on the market today look. Can't someone just make a simple rectangle with rounded edges?

Ehhh looks goofy. Maybe when the time comes I'll just buy an HRAP enclosure and have someone make it work with a PS4.

I actually have that stick. Works with switch, 360, PS3, xb1, android, pc, and PS4. Feels great. It's no frills and I have replaced all the parts in it.

At least the button spacing and curvature isn't cramped like those VLX. Arm rest does seem kinda potato though.

Hori buttons/stick are stiff as hell.

In memento of DJ, lol 8 buttons.

the only differences between any sticks that use real parts are going to be aesthetic anyways (and maybe milliseconds of pcb lag). not sure why sanwa hasn't been making their own sticks for years, don't see any particular reason to pick this one up now either

Thats the official sanwa stick. Im not a fan it, especially the fact the buttons sit on the cp and not the plexi

I wonder if this will get Seimitsu's attention

If that's the best they can come up with I guess they shouldn't quit their day job.
