New Korean Lever Offers New Possibilities for Mad Catz FightSticks

Mine came in today (EMS). Put it in a Hori SCV but there may be slight problem - one of the quick disconnect wires just barely fits in because of the USB compartment. Had to remove the heat shrink from the quick disconnect in order to get it to fit and even so it just barely has enough room, totally squeezed up against the plastic. Might end up putting it into something different if the wire begins frays or anything but I reckon it should be ok.

w/r/t loudness it seems to be about the same as a JLF, maybe a tiny bit louder? Could be I’m just noticing it more because it sounds different.

Mine arrived today and although I grew used to JLF and balltops this CROWN joystick feels as much comfortable and is definitely staying for a while in my Q4raf.

And my shit STILL AINT CAME IN THE MAIL!

LOL, just kidding.
Ball Top anyone?

You guys are officially on my shit list until my stick arrives. :lol: Thanks for the pics. Cutwest where did you get the balltop?

That is great news since i plan on maybe pickng one up! Ice Red ftw!

got it from W00P MstR FresH. Its just a regular JLF shaft with a JLF extender addon I bought from etokki many years ago.

Got home, package was waiting for me. After inspecting and testing, there is NO DIFFERENCE between these and the ones from istmall @ gmarket.

Just FYI.

How do those perform CUT?

I don’t know if this’ll work on this stick, but I usually grab a small flathead (size for working with computer parts) and push down on the stick (positioned inside the e ring) and then push out. Takes all of 3 seconds.

Woot, mine came in! Time to test it out.

Mine shipped out on the 2nd ish? I’m hoping mine’ll be at my parents house when I go there this weekend. Looking forward to it.

Yeah mines shipped on the 1st but I live on the east coast.

But where are the pics of these installed inside?

Got mine and installed it in my scv case. It definetly intrudes in the area of the plastic and the pcb where the wires meet up. Tomorrow I will be dremeling off some plastic to make it flush. Also had to remove the pcb where it was placed originally. Will be remounting the pcb too somewhere else away from the joystick area.

Ill post pics of my install when i get home

How does the crown fanta lever compare to the myoungshin fanta lever?

Pics of my lazy setup I made up yesterday are following below; no soldering-iron being used. I hope it will last until I get a conversion harness.

So shiny! :smiley:

To anyone that has installed this in a TE - did you have any issues closing the top metal panel afterward due to the quick disconnects sticking out too far? Were any actual modifications necessary to get it to fit?

I haven’t received mine just yet, but saw someone mentioning a similar problem.

Wow, I can’t keep track of where I’m posting.

Yes, I’ve had trouble putting the top down on my R1 TE, as the switch pins on the stick will collide with the edges of the hole underneath the joystick. I rectified this by bending the pins “parallel” to the switch. No issues after that.

I’m pretty sure people have said you’ll have to cut away some plastic.

Galthrojh did your stick come in yet? Nothing yet for me.
