Well that bites.

Amazon and GameStop now have the Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai listed as having Xinput and Hayabusa buttons. Is that an error?

143

No, the old Kuro buttons are being substituted for Hayabusa buttons now. Any older stick with Kuro buttons will sell out and the new Hayabusa versions are rolling in.
Yes Xinput is a thing now as people been complaining about PC compatibility and some games does not want to take Dinput anymore.

So iā€™ve been outdated on everything for a while, thinking about finally getting a PS4. Which stick is the best overall right now?

148

Probably should use this thread instead of bumping a dead thread. Although to answer your question, the ā€œbestā€ stick for ps4 without going custom is probably either between the Qanba Obsidian or Razer Panthera. Iā€™ve seen both used pretty often and are shilled the most by the pros. Both retail for $200, but you can find it cheaper for the most part.

or buy the granddaddy Hori VLX

Hori VLX or Qanba Dragon If you donā€™t travel to competitions or casuals.

Qanba Obsidian or Razer Panthera if you do.

I tried to find the most appropriate topic to ask and i didnā€™t want to make a new thread but thanks. Much appreciated.

RAP N Hayabusa if you like Noir layout, Obsidian if you like Vewlix, or get a Brook UFB/PS4 W/Audio and stick it in an old stick.

152

I agree with you that the pros utilize each stick.
I have a Madcatz TE2+ that Iā€™m modding, slowly but surely? Probably need some help eventually.
Worked gear out of the box, just wanted to make a couple minor cosmetic changes.
Anyway, I wanted to grab either another TE2+, Razer Panthera or Qanba Obsidian.
Iā€™m wary of the first 2 and not well versed with the latter. Opinions?

153

I think all of them are good sticks, I own a TE2+ and an Atrox (basically the same as the Panthera) and I like them both when it comes to weight, size, ease of customization, and convenience with the detachable cable. A lot of people like the Obsidian, although I canā€™t comment on it since I donā€™t own one or ever used one. As for buying a second stick, personally Iā€™d rather get the Panthera or Obsidian just to have a different stick (unless you really like the TE2+ and want another one) and if they ever have something break, you could always contact Razer or Qanba and theyā€™ll be able to help.

Thank you for the fantastic advice. Having multiple sticks is a great idea that Iā€™m seriously considering.
The Qanba Dragon looks interesting also, and Iā€™m having a HEAVY lean in itā€™s direction, and requires the Aegis or Guardian bags by Qanba.
Iā€™m wary of the Panthera because I hear the cable doesnā€™t work/connectivity issues or shorts out?
Has anyone heard of/experienced this?
With the Qanba Obsidian, are the LED blue piece(s) on the sides replaceable?
