Iāve decided iām making the jump to a fight stick and at Ā£70 plus postage this stick seems to tick a lot of boxes for me, before i pull the trigger on this can anyone give opinions on how good the stick would be for learning to play in itās non-modded state?
If you do reply can you point out how it compares to the same stick modded with for example Sanwa parts?
Iām taking note of all the discussion around mods etc. but iām more concerned that itās a good stick for learning with then i can consider whether to invest more money into it with a mod.
Itās definitely ok in the mean time, but iād recommend you upgrade at the minimum the microswitches for the buttons if you can. Thatās a really cheap mod. Thatās the only legit bad part about the performance, everything else is ok (even if itās not the absolute best). The parts are moddelled after sanwa parts, so they offer a ballpark feel, but have higher resitance in general making them feel less buttery smooth.
Yeah the venom Joystick and push buttons does the job, but just so. No More and No Less.
Swapping out the button microswitches for Sanwa sw-68 switches would be the easy budget move.
You can also swap out the switches and spring on the Joystick.
Sanwa and Seimitsu parts are going to feel smoother with a snapper more satisfying action.
Anyone else notice this problem. Once you insert the Sanwa OBSF buttons. It doesnāt click all the way down. The first stick the black and white buttons stick. You can see the first 6 white buttons showing the clip. And on the 2nd stick the last two red button showing the clip. Is anyone else having this problem. And some time the button does not respond not sure if this is due to this.
Thanks for your reply. I have done that but it goes down and clips but you can still see the clips on the white and red buttons. Does it show on your one.
If you changed those white buttons a lot they start to do that, I guess itās nib and the clips start to wear(snap-in buttons arenāt meant to be taken out and put in many times) if those white buttons are new then Iām not sure.
Thatās one reason I use screw-in buttons now.
