Arcade Shock is now offering 10% off all Q4 sticks, including SE editions and Plexi. Unfortunately the standard Q4 is sold out.
Wow, should have waited lol. I always miss out on random sales. Oh well. I’m actually getting my art printed right now. Taking advantage of Photoshop and a massive high quality printer at my school’s library media center.
Thanks. Just ordered the white one, it’s still in stock!
I’m really thinking of ordering one of these, but I need to know if it would be compatible with EU PS3’s and Xbox 360’s because it says “asia” under compatibility and I didn’t want to make a wally of my order lol.
They work on any region PS3 and Xbox 360. It says “Asia” because they are manufactured in China. Most hardware accessories are region free.
Off topic: My art printout dried in a way that made it have wavy lines that effected the colors. They said it was because of how saturated my picture was (it was printed on 35 lb. paper). They tried to print it on photo paper but it looked like crap. I am going to reprint it tomorrow and have it laminated this time to decrease the wrinkles. It costs more but I’m hoping it will look better. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
I find it useful, thanks for the heads up. I may try that and getting a laminated print at office depot. They shipped mine literally hours before they updated the site with the sale ><. Time to get started [S]butchering[/S] making my own art.
when i was playing sfxt the other night for the first hour of ever using the stick the stick inputs messed up
(ps3) can anyone explain?
Finally I stop to being lazy and put the handle on my Qanba 6 buttons edition! Once again I thank Mr.Xian long who provides me the handle!
This same thing happened to me. I had my artwork printed out on a thinner than usual cardstock and has that wavy effect but I’m not sure if it’s the paper or the fact that the plexi isn’t fully holding in place. I bought a replacement plexi that was just ever so slightly larger then the area but it still fit with some force.
One thing I don’t know if it was every confirmed or addressed, can you take the art off of the original plexi without damaging it? If so, how?
Just got my Qanba Q4 RAF Ice Red SE from Arcade Shock. I don’t think i have ever been this impressed with a Fightstick before. I was really blown away by how awesome this stick looks. Has clear red buttons/balltop and case, yet still has a very serious look to it, doesnt look cheap at all. (@200$, it better not LOL). Im still trying to get used to the Seimitsu LS-32, seems better than anything else ive used so far, but im wondering how i can still make it even better. I dont see an octagonal gate available for the LS-32. =\
@YoshiXL
Try the round gate! LS-32 dont has octo gate, from seimitsu just the LS-33,55,56 and 58 has octo gate BTW round gate>>>octo gate!That is one of the reason who made the LS-32 one of the better joysticks ever!
So how do I go about getting a handle if my Q4 RAF didn’t come with one? It was one of the features I was really looking forward to after borrowing my buddies.
Hmm… im kinda scared to try out a round gate, seems like it would be harder to play on it because you wont “feel” the position of the stick. =\ then again, i never tried either so i guess i will go ahead and order a round gate and see if i like it. i have never opened up a Fightstick before to change anything lol, so im a little nervous!
I got my Crystal Blue Qanba from arcadeshock yesterday and absolutely love it!. It’s very responsive and looks rather sexy :3

seqo: nice to see that you got one of those sticks with MINSK’s special artwort.
jaguar: how about posting one pic on qanba’s facebook page?
they surely would be happy about that: www.facebook.com/qanba
jongzor: please write an email to zhongxianglong@hotmail.com and ask about the handle. you will get one for free.
Very satisfied with this stick. Finished with modding for now (first stick, first mod) but I might redo it if I can get better tools for cutting the art without accidentally scratching the plexiglass everywhere. Also stripped a couple screws but they are fine for now.
please don’t get a 360 gate. the only people that use those are the people that used only 360s when they grew up. 360s are imprecise and make little sense. your best bet would be to go with a square or octagonal.
Any idea when the Q4 Ice Red SE will be back in stock?
well, this brings me back to my original question… if i have the LS-32 installed in my Qanba q4, and from what ive heard/read it comes with some kind of S plate or something like that i dont even know and i havent actually opened up the stick yet, how do i make it an 8 point restrictor if there is no octagonal available for it? =\
If I wanted my stick to have more tension (not too much), what spring should i be looking at?
