I just received mine and the first thing that I made is change the artwork (using the template that those guys from QANBA posted). It has been really easy to switch, really friendly.

My impressions on the stick are quite good, I have a lot of sticks and I’m a harcore player (I have 3 TE’s, custom sticks, hori’s also Im waiting for receive my hori VLX premium from networkingyuppy ^^).

The dimensions of the QANBA Empire Arcadia are excellent, really spaced for your hands, it is really big like a TE or bigger, it is heavy, wood construction very well painted it has a lot of good details on it, I cannot explain property since my english sucks! loool

I’m going to dual mod it with a xbox madcatz pad later this week.

The only thing that worries me are the button emplacement, they do not seem to stay in place really solid (due to the plexi’s thickness) you cannot note the button clip fixed at any moment (not a major problem tho).

The rest, believe me, its perfect ( I really love the handle thingie on it, it is amazing for tournaments and stuff, very brilliant idea). I really enjoy it, the price is also really competitive, I strongly recommend this for all the stick players, together with a TE and a VLX.

Strong points:

• Comes with plexi, so you can costumize it quite easy
• The design and materials are sweet, looks like a custom stick (solid!)
• Easy to dual mod, plenty of space inside
• The packaging includes a towel for clean and 2x AM-30
• The handle thing !! it rocks

Weak points:

• The clip buttons does not clip at all same goes for the AM-30 (those are more sensitive)
• Sensitive to getting scrapes

I wonder what is the QANBA’s profit manufacturing those sticks lol, but coming from Shenzhen everything is posible!

On my next business trip I’ll try to visit QANBA, since all my suppliers are from Shenzhen (security cameras and DVR)

Generally Speaking when you import something for sale especially from china its usually 300% markup.

It does not work like this, we have very good Chinese forwarders in our company, we receive good from shenzhen almost every day, I dont think there is any problem, you only have to pay taxes + shipping cost. Which will be minimum to me due to the constant import business.

Here I attach some picture with Q3 EMP dual modded:

It is really easy to dual mod, In my case I did with the 4716 mad catz pad, the pad pcb suits perfectly on the espace, you can see on the picture, I used silicon to fixed it, there is plenty of space

Is this play-asia 360 qanba the same QanBa Q3-XS in these tournament pictures you posted? Also, will there be an 360 version of the Empire Arcadia Qanba?

Yes, the same QanBa Q3-XS in these tournament pictures.

Now, QanBa Empire Stick only for PS3/PC .

[kay_nock]

Can’t wait…I just ordered the Q3, after alot of reading reviews etc sounds like a good stick. If it compares anywhere near the TE stick I have, I will be a happy man

The plexi it comes with is clear so there is no need to replace it.

Don’t expect a common ground PCB. Their Q2 360 sticks were padhacks.

Q3 XBOX360 Stick PCB is a common ground now

and Q2 XBOX360 STICK sell in pay-asia.com is a common ground too.

what would be best to use to cut out the holes …i was thinkin of a place like staples where they have good printers to print these templates out

[SupahRreem]

the qanba sticks look really clean i want one lol

I just printed my art out at Kinkos and installed it directly onto the stick. Afterwards I used the holes of the Plexi as guide to cut out the holes using a hobby knife. Even if you don’t cut cleanly the button will cover up your mistakes.
