Hi folks,

Just wondering if this joystick is a PS3 version as it’s listed XBOX 360. I’m querying because this has PS Symbols, X Circle, Triangle etc

Also got this for an absolute steal!

Thanks in advance.

The outside shell is for PS3, but the innards may have been switched.
No way to tell unless you show the insides.

Thanks I suppose there’s no way of knowing until I have the joystick. The code on the auction was: Q-Q2PROLED-PS3-Bk. Plus the barcode is: Qanba 6955932302026.
Also does this have Sanwa parts already in it? Again only if someone has this joystick. I’ll update when this arrives of course.

It doesn’t have Sanwa parts (assuming that it hasn’t been modified by the seller)

I would find it highly unlikely that this stick would have Sanwa parts inside.

Qanba LED lit parts are made in such a way where they are not easy to transfer over to Sanwa parts and keep the LED action.

PCB in these sticks are kinda shitty anyways

Looks like this chap says you can swap the switches for Sanwa - The inside of this looks quite busy for wires! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uxzM4cBw00

Yeah you can swap the switches on the buttons with Sanwa button switches, and many of the joystick parts.

This was a PS3/PC version after all, but thats cool. I have a feint bit of a rubbing/play on the joystick from the neutral position, so will look at lubing the round base washer with some silicone grease and maybe change the microswitches and the spring with something more Sanwa and the button switches too. It’s a great stick tho and the lights are cool!
