Thanks for the info. Eagerly waiting.
Are you aware of any sellers in Canada? Or I will have to resort to importing from either HK or USA.

Thx.

Any note on that if there will be a PS3/X360 wired version? I did really like it
Regards

So like…is there any place where you can actually buy these stick?

Sheng will be on top of that with the answer real soon.

does 2.5mm shaft height really mean that much to you? jesus christ

Waiting on shen to throw the empire stick on his site, gonna buy asap :stuck_out_tongue:

yo, that looks really legit, I’m kinda pissed I just got a new stick.

The Empire Arcadia stick has finally shipped inland and will be available for purchase within a day or two.

I’ve only used the stick three times so far. I can honestly say that it has the smoothest rotation I have experienced on an 8-point stick. Definitely has the edge in professional performance.

I ordered the Xbox360 Qanba Q3 from Play-Asia and just received the cheaper PS3 version today. Very disappointed. I would definitely have paid more to order it from Shen. G if they carried the Xbox 380 Q3 version.

Hi All,

ahcart.com is suspended, i don’t know why.

hey fellows. Just purchased a Qanba Q3 wired for the Xbox360 last week and just got it in today. I’ll take some photos and write up a little review like syn13’s on the wireless Ps3 Q3 sometime in the next couple of days after I’ve had a chance to try it out.

Oh to anyone who has one or might know about the build of the stick, is there any way that I can replace whatever is holding on the top plexiglass panel with six hex screws like on the TE? It’d make it a lot easier for me since I always carry around the keychain. I don’t know if the reflective circular things on top of the screws can be removed and then replaced or if its like a sticker i have to peel off…thanks ahead of time!

Glad to hear. I’m looking forward to purchasing one.

Can we get an update on EMP stick? Availability time frame has obviously changed. How about word on Xbox360 version?

I gots questions for anyone who owns one of the Empire Arcadia models:

1.) Is the art easily replaceable? The photos make it look like a transparent plexi over a printed insert, is that the case?

2.) What’s holding the art down? Regular screws or bolts? What’s up with the solid chrome things in the photos, are they caps of some kind?

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m looking at getting a PS3/PC Qanba arcade stick, however can’t seem to find the answer to the following anywhere:

What is the difference between the Qanba Fighting Joystick 2 (Q2?), the Qanba Wireless Real Arcade Fightingstick Q3 and the Qanba Empire Arcadia Arcade FightStick

From my understanding:

Q3 is wireless whereas the Q2 is not, Q3 has a VIEWLIX button layout whereas the Q2 does not, Q3 cannot be used as a wired USB controller whereas the Q2 is wired only.

How does the Empire Arcadia fight stick work out in all this?

I can get the Q2 from Dealextreme for $130 US delivered, the Q2 from Play-asia for $140 US delivered, the Q3 from Play-asia for $144 US delivered and the Empire Arcadia for $186 US delivered.

What’s so special about the Empire Arcadia - is it wired or wireless or both?

1.) The art is easily replaceable.
2.) screws
