Do that. I've been waiting on my overseas shipment for 2+ weeks.Well I am in California so FocusAttack will probably be the fastest.

Yeah black would definitely go best with that. The only thing visually that would bother me is the circular button outline on the stock vlx artwork. I feel that would really clash with the octagonal rims. Obviously just my humble opinion of course. Sorry I can't shut up when it comes to visual design stuff.
I like the VLX PS4 art. I didn't like the art on the RAP Kai PS4 stick however. That splattered ink calligraphy look didn't work for me.
I check hoping people post more pictures.
I wasn't dissing the VLX art. Just saying that those strong circular button outlines might clash with the gamerfinger aesthetic. I'm not feeling the HRAP Kai PS4 art either, hrap.V art is way cleaner and I hope they release it in the US:
Here you go, here's the iconic round 1 TE w/Seimitsu LS-40. I changed out the buttons for a more uniform look.
Here's my dual modded ps360+ Killer Instinct TE2 w/silent JLF and black gamer fingers.
The balltop is the burlwood from Jasen's customs sold at paradise arcade. Also there's not really a line right through the middle, it's a reflection of the room. I went with a black acrylic from tek-innovations so there is no competing with the gamer finger shape.
Here is the Tek-Mini that is also from tek-innovations. I forgot to take a pic but it's half the size of the round 1 te. I'm still waiting on a board to put in but I put a hayabusa in it. It does not fit right side up, so I'll have to rewire the switches. I just like the look of the stick in there so much that I'll make it work no matter what. Dust is a bitch btw.
Does anyone else's TE2 have this weird oil/grease under their plexi?
those pics are 2 hot
<3
I bought the burl and briarwood tops from Jasen's. They look hella nice!
These pictures are so hawt. I want to get a nice camera just to take pictures of my sticks. #unintentionalinnuendo
Thanks guys! I'll still always want that official sanwa denshi briarwood you got Skilletor. Any chance you can put up a comparison pic?
Want.Here you go, here's the iconic round 1 TE w/Seimitsu LS-40. I changed out the buttons for a more uniform look.
Sonic boom:
I totally regret asking you to post a comparison pic now haha. That Sanwa is soooooooo smooth and clean looking. WOW.
also from left to right: Sanwa Denshi Briarwood, Jasen Burlwood, Jasen Briarwood
Lol, I'm an idiot. In my defense, I was browsing on my phone. Still embarassing though considering I have the burlwood ha.
Thanks for the impressions. It's curious why the two briarwoods look so different. The sanwa looks more like the burlwood.
Now that MK X has taken the cat ouf of the bag by making their game compatible with PS3 era fight sticks (atleast some of them).
One would think after that Capcom is almost obliged to do the same with SFV? Or am I completely wrong?

This is the most cheapest PS4 stick I have ever seen.
- Cross platform support between PS3/PS4/PC
- The case made of woods
- Can be opened easily
- Samducksa(Crown) Joystick
- About $82 (88000 won)
Although It's already selling at istmall, just the image doesn't updated to new one.
Hmm... Sounds interesting.
Damn, an all black TE2 is quite sexy. Hopefully Mad Catz designers get the hint.
I think I'm going to upgrade soon, does my Rd. 1 TE have any resale value?
Solid, simple designs always look best. Minimized elements make the stick pop more. I've always wondered if there's some sort of research somewhere that says the target audience responds way more to hyper-busy "extreme" design as opposed to a sleek, basic look - or if it's simply a case of busted conventional wisdom being allowed to plow forward with ugly, jagged, overdesigned imagery.
Are the te2 regular and the te2 ultra street fighter edition built the same? Or does one have better parts? I ask because the sf edition is sold out and I can buy the plain no art one on Amazon.
All of the te2 sticks have the same parts, with the exception of the addition of an led board on the killer instinct version. Everything else are just color/art changes.

Really?? Usually their cases are cheap, thin-walled plastic (ex, vxsa, etc).For anyone wanting a stick now and can't wait for the TE the Hori is amazing and in my opinion is a better built product.
I owned a KI TE2
Whenever anyone asks me what the worst stick I've ever used was, I respond with the InterAct Shadowblade.Found this at a goodwill.
It's pretty much complete trash, but, eh, it's another stick for $10.

I have a vxsa Kai and it's a joke compared to the te2.
No kidding... Which of their sticks are you referring to?Im serious dude, the cable door has been improved greatly and it feels very solid.

This is pretty much the kind of PS4 stick I've wanted for a while now.
Does anyone know if this place ships to the US? I can't read Korean and google translate isn't helping a ton. Even if shipping is $30 that's still way less than Hori/MadCatz's sticks and it looks like it would be really easy to swap in the Sanwa stick/buttons from my old PS3 stick.
I still think the RAP series is too small and light. I much prefer the TE2 to those sticks. The only sticks I like better than madcatz' offerings are the fightingedge and vlx.
I would rate them:
HRAP3/4 < TE < Fighting Edge == VLX
It's hard for me to decide between the FE and VLX, so I have to buy both, lol!
I heard a rumor that Hori will be releasing a new Fighting Edge in December. If so, I'll have to buy a set of those too!
Yeah, a new fightingedge would be a no Brainer for me.
I like it more than the vlx in some ways.

Yep, I definitely prefer the Noir layout and the generous palm space of the FE. On the other hand, the VLX has excellent customizability and build quality. A stick that combined the best qualities of both would be a must buy.
You might have some difficulty swapping that Korean lever for a JLF. Might want to do some investigating first.

Drop the touch panel for a few 24mm buttons and I'm there. Since MKX supports the MK9 PDP stick, I'll probably keep my VLX sealed anyway.
