I got a low opinion for anything Razer makes, so the Qanba would be what I recommend of the two
Also the Panthera needs a driver download for Xinput compatibility which you need for most modern fighters on PC. Having to rely on a driver download isn’t a very safe bet.
Qanba has a physical switch to flip, it uses the generic MS drivers already in windows which means you aren’t reliant on a 3rd party download to work
I PERSONALLY recommend the Hori Rap N, with a 2lb spring and a kowal actuator mod.
Its a great price, the Hyabusa buttons are very high quality, and the Namco button layout is great.
The Qanba Obsidian is also regarded quite highly by many and offers very similar features.
The Razer sticks I have no experience with but I know a few in my area that have had them break in one way or another, and that is my experience of other razer products.
Thats just my opinion on some of the more mainstream sticks
I’m not saying that most people prefer the Qanba Obsidian, over other sticks, but rather that people believe it’s an excellent stick.
There’s plenty of good sticks in your price range, but at the end of the day its your choice to make, you need to look at what suits you.
Is this just for home?
Do you want to go to tournaments?
Do you want to carry the stick around?
Am I using the stick on a table or my legs?
Questions like these can make certain sticks like the Qanba dragon a yes or a no
I agree with this recommendation. Hori Rap N has the best layout (noir style) and the 2lb spring with the Hayabusa makes it feel great. Much better for Tekken than a standard JLF with 1lb spring.
I don’t have any experience with the kowal actuator mod…but I prefer the longer throw. The Hayabusa has slightly longer throw than JLF.
