THE CHEAPEST ARCADE QUALITY STICKS EVER, 2800 ALL SANWA!

***UPDATED***


yeah you read that right:
2800 for an ALL SANWA, PS2-only stick, like the Hibiki one below.

the sticks are still highly customizable. you can choose the art and the button / ball top color and the console(s) that the stick run(s) on, but i will not take any paint jobs for this. you can even pick the parts that the stick will use. of course, customizations will change the price.

these sticks are SMALL. they're a little larger than HALF those fake Horis hanging around the malls. (those don't have real arcade parts btw. the only Horis with 100% arcade parts cost $100 or so.)

these parts are available:
red/blue Japanese Sanwa Stick (See the Hibiki stick above)
red/blue Japanese Sanwa Buttons (See Hibiki Stick Above)
green Korean Stick (Crown Square Actuator)
red/blue/yellow/green Korean Buttons (Crown Leaf..see the Chun Li stick below)

Chun Stick
^this stick has Korean Leaf buttons, very good IMO, and they shave off a couple hundred off the price. unfortunately, there aren't any ball tops that match this color, so i use either painted white ones or the

OMG cool joysticks i hope ganyan lahat ng arcade sticks sa quantum

.Ix,the last time we went to your place I saw an arcade stick with pic of Cammy.How much is that kind of stick?PM me for the price.

Is Tekken DR and SF3:3S using the same kind of stick?

T5:DR uses Sanwa JLF-TP-8y-SK sticks, which is exactly the same as what i have except for the plastic shaft cover. 3s doesn't really have a standard controller, but most will have this same stick too.

re: Cammy stick

i don't have any other sticks that are shaped like that, so i doubt i can sell any more of those. If you want other stick mods that are customized at that level, it would cost you lots. like 5000 or so, including multi console support. good paint jobs = a TON of work.

can u give me more info about sanwa stick?.Ix.

what kind of info? that question is pretty vague.

i'll just give you an example of where these Sanwas are used.
sticks = T5DR. it's exactly the same except for the black plastic thing on the shaft.
buttons = T5DR.

Those are what I'm refering to.Ok I wasn't direct nway It's ok now.

Hori Stick.If i'm not mistaken,It has a square like boundaries underneath the stick.Are your controls like that?
I don't see myself buying in the near future since I won't be able use it on God of War.It would just be better if I know.

This is how the sanwa looks from the underside

this is how a hori looks from the bottom

Ang tanong niya ay kung anong differences ng hori parts from sanwa... hehe.

Basically sanwa's are more durable, better sensitivity, and pretty much reflects the best arcade parts there is because sanwa parts are exactly the parts used in arcade machine cabinets. If you try to touch a Tekken 5/5.1/5 DR cabinet buttons and sticks, (theyre usually quite new which means they probably are still in decent shape and not replaced by substandard parts) thats a Sanwa. So basically if you get an arcade stick made from sanwa parts it basically means you get the exact same arcade experience at home. This is especially important if you play a lot of arcade or just tend to want arcade quality hardware. If you get some other brand parts, you might have a bit of trouble adjusting to them since they handle differently. Ultimately its not much of a big deal, but if you're picky about your arcade stick experience, sanwa is a guaranteed 100% reproduction of the real deal.

additionally, you won't notice much of a difference when you move from hori to sanwa, but playing on a Sanwa for a long time and then moving to a Hori will really make you glad you bought a Sanwa.

thanks for the elaboration Kintaro.

btw, Arcades use fakes sometimes (MVC2 cabinets at Timezone Megamall and MArket! Market!). i'm sure all T5DR machines use originals though.

Oh Boy!...

Is that by any chance... a Namco Joystick?

Just one look at the Sanwa Joystick Picture made me remember my good old days with Tekken 3.

the pics i've linked to were from a Namco mod tutorial, so yes, that is a Namco stick. they're not too good to do a Sanwa mod on though. :( Sanwas don't fit perfectly in them.

if i were you bro buy his stuff ganda ng joystick nya sulit pwede mo lagay sa shop mo dun kami maglalaro hehehehe

updated first post with new pics.
