Cool, I think you bought the last one they had listed!
PA also put up actual photos of the stick and box (uses the newer PS3 branding, yay). Kinda plain but is a nice warm-up for the new stuff coming next year, for sure. Can't wait for that official Taito Vewlix stick:

The V3 is thicker/taller than I thought it would be. Still seems cool, but I'm much less optimistic about that box now.

Okay, i can't let my guard down when they start taking preorders for the Taito Viewlix stick

Holy shit. When did it drop to $89? Think I'm going to get it right now since I need a Arcade Stick for the 360. My Hrap3 Sanwa swap is only for PS3 as of now.
Does anybody have personal experience with this stick? Just want to know how is it before I buy.

The Voltech on this page is beautiful. It seems like the personal stick makers are blazing their own trail. I like the RJ-45 jack to USB. No need for cable compartment.
Too bad the V is sold out. I hope they do another release or bring it to the U.S. I wanted to buy it but didn't want to pay the insane shipping.

It is like the Hori version of the TE! Gotta love that...playing catch up. Can't wait to see the two side by side in a photo. V3-SA is kinda plain jane, though. Not too exciting but I bet in the flesh it will totally deliver. Form factor does seem to reflect the recent Twin Stick, which is nice. Continuity!
If anybody gets it in tomorrow please post pics! Mine is not scheduled till Wednesday and my last PA package was held up in customs in Alaska for a week until I faxed FCC info.

Yeah I managed to snag one for that price... which only makes me regreting owning the TE more since I spend more than twice as much for it! But yeah, I think I'm done with stick buying for the 360... now to just get rid of that Tekken 6 wireless stick.
Also did anyone notice someone is selling Tekken 6 LE HRAPs on Amazon for $117 shipped?
Of course the EX-SE is still a better stick for a better price, but I know some of you guys collect these things...
SlaughterX said:
That is a good price for somebody who lives stateside and wants to avoid heavy import charges. About $50 cheaper. QDs throughout for easy mod. Still, a pretty boring theme stick. The SFIV, DS, and Mushi HRAPS were a lot more fun.
I never posted mine in this thread but here is what I did to my PS3 version:

Help!
I got Sanwa parts in for my SE Fightstick today. So... I open the stick and begin replacing both the stick and the buttons. I replaced all of the buttons but one (bottom row, third from left). It's like the quick disconnect was too tight on the button and I was unable to get it off. In the midst of trying to remove it, I broke the disconnect.
So... how do I get a replacement for this? I see they sell quick disconnects at Radio Shack. Is it a standard size?

Yikes... I just looked them up... $7 at Auto Zone.
Well, I just spent $75 on parts, so I guess...

If you have any other electronics stores around try there first. Radio shack DOES sell .110 QDs, but they're in a pack with others.
I've got an Altex near me that sells them in 15 packs for a buck and I KNOW Fry's carries them, too.

Thanks, I'll check with my radio shack tomorrow. No Frys or Altex around here. I'm pretty sure Best Buy doesn't carry anything like that. If not, I guess I'll head over to Auto Zone.
I've never worked much with QDs before. Do I need anything special to crimp them onto a wire?

JLateralus said:
Not really. Just remove enough of the sheath from the wire to fit into the QD then crimp it down. One thing I tend to do when I crimp them is take a good amount of sheath off and sort of loop the exposed wire inside of the QD so it can hold better if the wire is a high gauge (I tend to use 23/24 that's used inside of CAT5e). But then when I'm doing projects like this I'm also actively using a soldering iron, so I also put a tiny amount of solder into it, too.

Ok cool. Sounds pretty straightforward. I'm used to crimping CAT3 and CAT5 so this should be easy enough.
Thanks for your help. Gonna hit up Radio Shack tomorrow and check it out.

So far fantastic! Queued up SFIV on the PS3 to try it out. I've been on Seimitsu sticks for the last few months so this one feels extra silky. The size is really, really nice, though. Light for transport but the large and wide profile more than makes up and it is nice and stable. Class act and you can't beat the graphics. The cord storage door does seem a little flimsy and I don't think this one will be too friendly for the custom modders...some drawbacks.
Also, the LED light for the controller number is very elegant.

Does anyone know if the 360 HRAP EX-SA is going to be coming to the states ala the EX-SE?
Also, I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on the EX-SE, but having never used Seimitsu parts and not being a big shooter player, I'm worried if it'll hurt my fighting game which I've been using nothing but Sanwa on and the genre I'd be using the EX-SE with the most. I know it seems to be a preference things (Which, in addition to how gorgeous the stick is, is why I want to give one a shot), but has anyone seem their skill level in a fighter drop when going form Sanwa to Seimitsu? Or if you're good with one you'll be good with both despite the slight feel differences?

Hey arcade stick age, I have a question for you. I replaced the stick that came on my madcatz standard edition with a Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK. I've been using it for a while, pleased. But the last couple of days the resistance given by the stick has been...quite different. Actually the last few days, the could have sworn that the stick had zero resistance when doing dash and dp motions in sf4. It made me feel like I had to relearn my combos.
The funny thing now it is completely opposite in that it feels like there's too much resistance given by the stick. Could there be something wrong with hardware with this much variation?

Heyho!
I have some money left after Christmas and thought about getting an arcade stick (finally). I dont really play fighting games (only Tekken) but I always wanted to have one since I was a kid. Remember playing some Donkey Kong clone and it was awesome! I know there are a lot of people on GAF who are really into modding their sticks, changing buttons and stuff. Maybe one of you could suggest me one thats not too expensive and considered to be good for someone who just wants to mash buttons a bit. Please dont kill me if my questions are stupid. (I've read a bit of this thread but don't even understand most of the things you're talking about. :lol)
Is it even worth it if I usually dont play fighting games at all?
Is there a list of games that support them (Xbox 360 and PS3, preferably downloadable games)?
Thanks in advance!

Got my HRAP V3 today, the box was smaller than I expected with minimal packaging materials inside. It's pretty much what you expect except it's so much lighter than the previous HRAP 2/3 models which is a good thing. The side protrusions make it pretty nice to pick up and carry around too. Overall, I like it a lot.

Something I did in my absence:
My "heavenly" bluetooth PS3 stick.
Wireless! (gutted Sixaxis + Toodles' AXISdapter)
Sanwa JLF and Seimitsu PS-14-KNs
I finished it a couple weeks ago.

360 EX-SE owners I need your help!
- Can anyone provide a good straight on picture of it from above? Preferably side by side with a TE? The TE pic would be nice but isn't necessary. I just need a top picture of the EX-SE so I can gauge the size, hand space, etc...
- Also, how is it in terms of modding? Soldered or QDs?
Thanks!

AZ Greg, Markman had done a size comparison a while ago:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=5676
The HRAP EX-SE uses the same mold as the HRAP in the comparison.
It has the same dimensions.
The Seimitsu lever in the EX-SE is soldered but the buttons use QDs.
