Anyone know where I can find one of those Qanba double sticks if possible and what systems they are compatible for?

I just tore into one of those fifty dollar Qanba sticks. Its very interesting, I’m not sure if its actually made by them or not. On one hand the stock stick is of almost mayflash quality and the buttons are barely acceptable. On the other, its drilled for a JLF mounting plate, made of wood and everything is nicely wired with quick disconnects which makes modding it laughably easy.

Interesting. I was under the impression no ICE BLUE sticks have handles, now I’m reading that some do.

But is the handle really the selling point here? For what you are getting for $169, a handle is the least of my concerns

Update: managed to glue the little thing that latches the door shut back together except now it won’t hold the door closed.

Are replacement doors available?

Agreed. I believe arcade shock is the cheapest at the moment. Mine just came in the mail yesterday. No handle, which I prefer, and instead of a white start button, it actually came with a dark blue sanwa start button. Looks really nice.

I noticed that my Q4RAF is starting to randomly disconnect on me. On the PS3, it would “recconnect”, as if the cord is pulled out then put back in. On the 360, it just stops working once its disconnected.

Can anyone recommend anyone who makes good Stick art?

hello, i have a question.
do you guys sell pcbs?, i bought my q4 from a dodgy seller in Australia.
the q4 worked for a while then it starting breaking.
i am not sure if it has warranty but i did buy yet less than a year ago.

I just received my Ice-blue LE from arcadeshock and let me tell you it exceeded my expectations.

EXCEPT FOR ONE THING!

I was debating with myself for over a week between the Q4RAF and an Eightarc stick because I was unsure if I wanted the carrying handle or the better start button placement. I ended up going for the Q4RAF and paid over 200 dollars in order to get a prettier stick, dual modded with a carrying handle. Now I receive it and I realize that it DOES NOT have a carrying handle.

The model name/number of these sticks with no carrying handle should be changed as it is misleading to people or at least it should be advertised in the websites that it’s different from the original model. The eightarc website sells the same stick in their website and they claim that it has a carrying handle. If I ordered it from there would I get a handle? I’m just very disappointed with what I got, needed to vent out.

we only have black handle before end of Nov,so only black and LE red with handle,but we have white handle,ice red handle, ice blue handle now,so we have added handle for our ice blue Q4,white/red Q4 and ice red Q4 now.

we will send some white handles and ice blue handles to our resellers. and if our customers need handle please contact me:
zhongxianglong@hotmail.com
we can mail to you.

Qanba double sticks are compatible for PC

Shingotink · December 21, 2011, 7:14am

http://www.arcadeshock.com/

Gomez · December 21, 2011, 9:33am

damn it I just pre-ordered mine from eightarc. didn’t know they had some in stock and ready to ship at that website. now i have to wait till jan. 10

Fauxtool · December 21, 2011, 10:02am

I got my ice blue from arcade shock. I ordered on sunday and it arrived 2 days later, AWESOME

I was wondering if its possible to order some of the silver screwhole plugs? I tried to open it from the faceplate like I would with my TE and the silver plugs cracked.

djKun · December 21, 2011, 11:04am

Just wondering, how well does the Qanba Q4 play on both platforms? I’m looking into buying this to play both on the PS3 and 360 but I want to know if theres any problems with it (like input lag, etc).** **

gahrling · December 21, 2011, 5:30pm

Only Qanba Q4 RAF models will work on both 360 & PS3.

Standard Q4 sticks only work on either 360/PC or PS3/PC.

ointments · December 22, 2011, 1:07am

I really like my Q4RAF, I would suggest to anyone debating to buy one to go ahead and do so.

My only (small complaints) are:
The stickers that say HEADPHONES JACK or whatever came off almost immediately. I would suggest to Qanba just to eliminate putting these on there at all. We all know what it is.

The silver screw hole covers. A couple of mine fell out right away as well and don’t sit in there anymore, so I removed all of them for the time being, until I drop a couple dabs of glue in there to hold them.

djKun · December 23, 2011, 12:20am

Quick question: I can replace the start button with a sanwa 24mm snap-in button for the Q4 right? Will I need to do anything special or can I just open up the stick and just replace it right there?
