Any reviews/suggestions/experience on MAS sticks?

Ah sorry man, didn’t know my box was full, but I cleared some out now.

Sanwa buttons! Get it from www.himuragames.com, he has a thread here. That’s where I bought my Sanwa replacements from, excellent service man. I personally got the screw-in buttons because I felt they were more secure and that they won’t get loose once you’ve use them in awhile, but snap-ins are good as well. Becareful and don’t accidentally buy 8 start buttons though. As for shipping I don’t know how much more it’ll be for you, but as far as I know Himura’s the only one you can get it from online, at least the one with most good feedback.

Well, what does that Sanwa offer? What’s better with it?

Mm well, Sanwa buttons are very respsonsive and it doesn’t take as much effort to press. You actually don’t need to press it full way to let it register, meaning you can execute your moves faster on command in any type of sudden or dangerous situations in a game. And the surface of the Sanwa buttons are really smooth, so there are no weird feelings to it like say concave buttons.

The default buttons in the HRAP are alot like the Sanwa buttons, except that they’re not AS responsive and they are also chubbier/fatter. You should get the buttons after you get the stick, because maybe you end up liking the default buttons, because they are actually not bad. But once you feel that they’re starting to get stuck when pressing or just that they don’t respond to well, switch them to Sanwas.

The buttons used by default are the same as for T5RAP by default right? My friend has no prob with it, I’ll see.

Yup, they’re the same ones but green, good luck with it.

Well, I think I will buy 4 buttona. I can go with the basic buttons being exrta and L1,L2,R1,R2 can be basic. I wouldn’t use them often.
