EMS to Europe is like 50Euro. Just get a friend or some random dude to order together and save some bucks.

Get all your friends (locally…like REAL friends) and pool together and make a big order and then disseminate.

Buying in bulk would definitely save you cash.

Why do you think I have so many bullets?

If someone buys/bought one of these can you please post a picture of the internals? (The wiring, joystick parts etc.)

Anyone know what the bootleg components feel like?

i have one of those sanwa imitated ,here the pic of the inside:

the feeling is just the same as the sanwa i tried on the arcades, i feel very confortable with that… they give you also a round restriction if the square one doesnt fit yourself ( http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc349/malossi2009/Image143-1.jpg )

i dont think it is worth it to get something cheap only to pay a huge cost in shipping then customs then swapping out the chinese clone parts.

well if you buy the fullset sanwa is more than worth it :smile:

Cool.

Did yours come with a headset jack?

mine is pc/ps2 … the x360 is a full (and only) sanwa set :slight_smile: (not imitated) but it doesnt have the headset (if i understood well what it is xD)

so i live next to los angeles. if people from socal are going to pool together multiple sticks in one order then pm me 'cause i want in. these sticks are making me way too curious. if the stock parts suck, it still looks like a solid/unique case to throw seimitsu shit in. art looks easily replaceable from the looks of the photos.

Can you post a picture of the x360 full sanwa joystick?

Is the PC/PS2 cord similar to how Mayflash has it or what?

As in one cord connected to the PCB, but somewhere there being a partition or whatever it’s called, and 2 cords extend from that.

I’m getting really intrigued by this and becoming tempted to order, but I won’t be going any further until I get a legitimate estimate of shipping costs to the U.S., specifically east coast.

The SF4 one (8 button stick) costs 105 bucks… I don’t really see the point at that price when shipping comes on top of that.

if you buy the fullset sanwa i cant see why the stock parts suck :slight_smile:
the case is very solid (2.15 or 2.5kg ,i dont remember), the artwork is easily replaceable (i did to mine this process something like 3 times now without any problems).

sorry mate i dont have any x360 stick since i dont have the console ,so i cant show y a pic from inside ^^

well, it depends on which stjjyg pcb you receive… i got 2 pcb from them… one with this cable:

and one pcb with 2 different cable, one ps2 and one usb.
I dont know how is the mayflash cable so i cant tell.
About shipping to US, the HK agent told me 370HKD (47usd) and here again i repeat myself… it’s still cheap for a custom fullsanwa

105USD + 47USD(shipping by ems)=152usd (112?) i dont think is an high price for a custom fullset sanwa … to my point of view ,it’s a deal. :china:

Hi,

Sorry for asking again but I’d like to know exactly how close the imitation parts feel to Sanwa. Are the buttons as responsive as Sanwas? Does the joystick have the same engage/deadzone? Also did your joystick come with a square gate or round? Looks like yours came stock with quick connects or did you put them in yourself?

any reviews from someone buying a full sanwa from them and getting shipped to us?? price and quality info would be great :smiley:

the buttons are very sensitive and responsive like the one i tried in the arcades in HK (never tried a sanwa buttons on a custom stick,only in arcades).
the stick has a square gate but they gave me also a round one as replacement… about the engage/deadzone thing i cant tell because i dont have any friends here who has a sanwa stick, but i can tell y that i feel about the same way i felt during my playing on the arcades. Sure it’s not a sanwa and if you know a sanwa stick well you will probably notice the different but to me it’s very precisly,solid and responsive. (i can do everything with this stick w out any probs).
About the quick connects , both of my pcb came along with quick connects cable , and one cable I think that fit the sanwa/seimitsu connectors (i mean…plastic connector from the pcb till the end of the wires … here you can see the pcb i’m talking about with its wires: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3567/33826466.jpg )

^^

Excellent. Thanks so much for the info.

if you want i can make a small video about the stick and the buttons if it can help you :smile:

lol, it’s alright man. But other people might like it :clown:
