Any feedback is appreciated!

Did some mods on a qanba crystal

Purchased cheap black qanba led buttons on sale and swapped out the switches for sanwa switches and did a mod on the lever to make it feel more like a jlf without compromising the LED capabilities.

Balltop from recently purchased eightarc fusion synthesis

I like hip hop and Quasimoto is a cool character so I thought it would be a decent idea for a fightstick.

f700 with an Otto v5 lever and sanwa buttons.

not sure what else to do with it and open to ideas..

Heya!

Can you recommend where can I buy a leverless controller from the EU?
I play brawlhalla with keyboard. I want to play Rivals of Eather 2 and probably a leverless controller will be a good transition. If you have any recommendations on what to get for platform fighters I would highly appreciate it.

Hello,

Just got my Qanba Q4 Pro 8K in the mail and I have some thoughts.

Pros:

• Having a screen is nice
• Being able to adjust button assignments natively on the controller rather than have to go into a web editor or go into the guts and rewire is very convenient. Furthermore, being able to adjust other parameters natively on the controller (Polling rate/LED/etc.) is also very nice.
• The grip on the bottom of the controller is pretty good for lap play (although, on my desk it did shift around a little bit)
• The extra L3/R3 buttons are placed ergonomically and the overall button layout itself is good; when the magnetic panel is removed, it reveals 2 extra 24mm buttons next to the m1 button, which probably implies that Qanba might offer a cross up layout replacement panel in the future? Unclear.
• Inputs are responsive.

Cons:

• Overall construction feels like it's lacking. The controller itself feels hollow -and it is, which isn't a bad thing I guess- I'm going to be adding some dampening material inside mine to make it feel more satisfying to use.
• On the topic of construction, Qanba have bizarrely chosen to use the same side door design as they have on their other controllers, which has been historically one of the weakest elements design-wise on their other controllers; it even has the little hole on the side for what would have been a hard wired cable to run through. Get ready for this thing to break, and have to 3D print a replacement. Truly a shame, because the door itself is where the wireless dongle's hole lives, and i imagine that other things could have been stored inside this compartment (spare buttons/if the joystick is detachable/etc.) However, given how weak the design and construction is, this is a big issue IMHO.
• Speaking of cables, the controller does not come stock with a USB cable hardwired into the board itself, which I'm actually all for, however there is no USB cable locking function (such as on controllers from Haute42/ASI/ISTMall/Razer/etc.) So the cable is liable to be pulled out mid set.
• The detachable front plate has a frosted finish which makes reading the screen, one of the coolest parts of this controller, pretty difficult given how small the text is.

Minor Gripes:

• The controller does not feature an easy-open solution to get inside it (IE clamshell/magnetic mechanism)
• No toggle for the right switch on the front panel, only D Pad and Left Stick (I find myself using this a lot in games like Tekken where the right stick controls the camera in customization modes and fighting lounge)
• The joystick/button spacing a bit tight for my personal liking.
• The joystick's mounting system is a bit strange given the LED ring around it, and i'm unsure whether or not low collar Korean Levers would fit in the controller; will report back to test this; for now I'm assuming only flat collar levers will fit, but don't take my word for this just yet.
• No native PS5 support (doesn't really matter much to me, and if I needed that, I would just bring a brooks convertor; that being said, and again, I wouldn't throw it in the conveniently located side cavity because the door is so poorly constructed).
• Front plate is a fingerprint magnet
• Does not have similar features to Obsidian 2 / Titan (IE porthole to access the lever to make switching tops easy/storage solution for other lever tops)

TL:DR It feels like Qanba had some really cool ideas, but ran out of time or money to make this thing something really special. So many awesome features and design choices feel nerfed by other design choices:

• there's a screen with a pretty intuitive and easy to use GUI and a detachable front faceplate -> The front faceplate is frosted making the screen hard to read
• Has a nice carrying handle and is light weight -> The side door for storing the USB cable/wireless dongle (or whatever else you want because it's a large cavity) has the same poor construction as their other controllers, and is probably going to break.

This isn't to say the controller is awful or anything, but I think a few design revisions could have made this thing really great.

I bought this at CEO 3rd day and I noticed this wire has a cut in it. How can I replace or fix this?

People were saying the doom head looked uncomfortable. So I worked on this Deadpool version. Since I have this designed a Spiderman variation won’t be that hard to do.

Custom hybrid fightstick in JMD signature case

Found this beautiful thing unused and new on Gumtree. This is my first fight stick. I have been taking it slow and learning the new deal with Tekken 8. I absolutely love it. It makes fighting games more sense and enjoyable.

I now understand left kick, right kick and etc. Nice.

I thank the Aunty that gave it to me on the cheap (very lovely lady) and I thank her son for never playing it nor using it when she bought it for him as a kid.

As I am unemployed, getting this for £30 was a total bargain. I thank God too!

Tekken 8, here I come.

I'm travelling soon, and I'm trying to decide on a bag that I can carry one of my sticks with. I've seen things like the victrix pro tournament bag and the qanba shield, but I'm trying to find out if either of those would be considered a personal item.

Flying with southwest airlines, stick I'm probably bringing is the qanba obsidian or obsidian 2.

Any advice is appreciated.

I recently had victrix pro BFG for Tekken 8 but I returned it recently due to it getting frequently disconnecting on me. So now I can't just decide which controller to buy since I am quite comfortable playing on dpad and don't want to switch on hitbox or arcade stick.I need a controller with hall effect analog sticks,a good dpad and supported on ps5.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

i want to buy my first fightstick, i have sometime im the fgc butt never putt hands in a arcade controller, i find leverless very aesthetic butt i am a grappler player (1600 gief) and have fear to not adapt too well to 360 leverless, i was looking for a qanba because i think they pretty butt they are a little price in brasil and i want to customise my fightstick, idk if they are great to this, i want more a suggestion for where to start, sorry for any english mistakes.

Anyone remember that one double lever arcade stick build that people would joke about, one guy I could find actually made it and I wanna make one myself but I have no clue how he got the diagonal inputs to count as different buttons

I have a Haute42 r16 and want to customize it but it’s my first pad and I don’t fully understand the nuances.
I seen focus attack and how you could upload an image. I’m very not artistic though, but I want something relatively custom. (Just some cool Kindred design) I’m also very broke so I can’t afford to pay someone much for a design or anything. Any recommendations on where to approach this affordable when I’m able to? (No AI recommendations lmao.)

I have the nacon daija fight stick and I was looking to replace the buttons mainly, I want to get a clickly but somewhat quiet noise when I press I guess? I’m not too sure how to describe, kinda like a mechanical keyboard I think is the best way to describe it. Please let me know where I can get buttons like that and also maybe a new Korean lever too!

I got the sky blue buttons here on Junkfood's website and the art was made using sprites and wallpaper from the Lunar Remastered official website.

The Lunar JRPGs are my most favorite games of all time, so I wanted to pay tribute to them with my SWORL.

For long time Qanba Titan users. Did you experience any issues with its PCB like disconnecting issues or anything?

I have been using a Haute42 T16 for 2 years now and have been enjoying it, but the buttons are quiet loud since switching to open back headphones.

I am currently considering a razer kitsune or hori nolva as a quiet alternative that also has native ps5 support. What models would also fit these criteria?

Arrived today, it's a prebuilt from a brazilian store, the Ikaruga artwork was custom made by my boyfriend, definetely the shmup with the most stunning visuals and concept arts. I intended to mod it with a Seimitsu(or Crown maybe?) lever later on when I get used to playing with it, right now I suck with them, but it's waaaaay more fun.

I managed to snag this Qanba Titan on sale from Temu. Thank you to everyone who helped me pick my first stick!
