At least the new Korean stick lever is being offered in three handle colors… Yeah, I’d like a balltop, too, but I can swing a bat handle. Not real different…
They do look nice. Very neutral. Should fit just about any theme. Like the red and black best. Glad eTokki has the wire harness available to (pre-)order! No question 95% of us will need this!
I haven’t ordered from eTokki BUT I have used EMS for shipping from Akihabarashop.
Basically, EMS is only worth it for larger orders – $70 minimum on up I’d say… At least for me.
If you’re ordering from the States, it’s less of an issue which shipping method you use as long as your purchase isn’t routed through Chicago or Washington, D.C. which are notorious hubs of postal theft.
I dunno… It’s your call.
I’ve never had problems with orders overseas for games, for instance, but one of my Akihabarashop orders did get lost in-transit. Don’t know what happened to it. It was a smaller order and I tried to save some cash… Lesson learned!
IF I had confidence in standard shipping from overseas I’d use it for parts but I’m more likely to use a domestic vendor anyway unless there’s some parts I absolutely can’t get in the States. Then I go for larger orders and EMS.
Anyone who ordered the Crown 303A from etokki. Have your orders been processed yet? I ordered mines on Friday and haven’t seen any movemenť on the order yet? Just wondering if anyone else has the same. Maybe it’s the holiday lag.
Etokki emails were in the junk box. Thanks. They are running a tad behind. Big orders and the Holiday break. Can’t wait till it gets in. I almost ordered the metal top someone was selling to fit the K-sticks. Glad I waited.
My stick came in the mail and it works great!
Just be cautious when taking off that small black thing that holds the stick inside because I accidentally launched mine into oblivion and had to take one off of another stick
Just want to let people know, anyone that is getting the Crown CWJ-303A stick, it will not fit into the Mad Catz SOULCALIBUR V or TTT2 stick unless you alter the casing (dremel the plastic middle area would be easiest).
Because the Noir layout, we moved the stick/buttons further apart, the hole is no longer the center point.
It will work fine with all other Mad Catz FightSticks though.
I got them on our page if anyone wants to see the pics.
it was a very tight fit indeed w/out the tool, and i dont think i have room for the c’thulu i was planning on getting. but im still happy with the way the stick operates and hopefully will have the skill to mod the casing because i’ve grown attached to this thing. im considering the Omni as another stick to add into my collection, based on my satisfaction of this purchase and the fear that i may have damaged something by not modding the casing. we got it in there and had to anchor the face plate with the screws immediately to secure the stick, but for now it works with no problems lol. check out our page for pics idk how to attach images so you guys will see more in a couple days i guess its one of those “at your own risk situations” lol
