What Stick/Controller Should I Buy? Read the Guide on Pg 1 Before Posting

If its coning into the country from another country its still a import.

Do you feel this way for all Qanba sticks?
My Q4 was my favorite stick I played on, wish I still had it.

First were speaking about the Q1 cut
second the Q4 has it’s issues too

Q4 had some PCB issues depending on random luck. Sometimes they burn out in a year, sometimes they last forever. Otherwise, I absolutely adore my Q4RAF.

Anyone ever heard of one of these? http://www.walmart.com/ip/KYE-Genius-F1000-Arcade-Stick/35173856

Isn’t worth it. That stick is sub-standard even for entry level sticks.
The money that would be spent fixing and upgrading that stick could be spent towards a better quality stick.

What is your budget for a stick Surge?

Well, I have parts on the way for my brawlstick, and I also have a TTT2 TE-S on the way, so I don’t really need another stick. I’ve just kind of caught an interest in collecting/modding these so i’m just browsing for any hidden deals/gems I can find even if just for parts.

There no deals to be had with that junk, only disappointments. It is also grossly over priced. You can get a Hori FS VX/V3 for that price.

I seen the same stick a thousand times over, almost just as many rebrandings. There is a reason I avoided even reviewing the stick, it should not be even under consideration.
At the most, some enterprising modder with years of experience would mod it for a goof, you know just for laughs.

I sooner recommend someone to perform a PS3/Xbox 360 Dual mod on a [Vtech Smile controller](How to mod a Vtech Vsmile stick

That vtech smile looks amazing for KoF.

Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the Fighting Edge lately, might be worth mentioning in the OP (particularly since it was recently dubbed “S-Tier”). Can’t say I’m surprised that the fancy bells and whistles are causing problems.

the WWE brawlsticks are still pretty cheap

Where?

I never dubbed it S -tier. I don’t do tiers.

I know you didn’t, it’s that damn chart someone else made.

This guy doesn’t work on the 360 does it?

I want a TE stick bad - had a vanilla fighstick back in the 2009 MadCatz quality problem era, which I modded with Sanwa stuff from LizardLick (yeah those guys, before he started ripping people off). Problem is it’s a bit lightweight and despite swapping PCBs out my jump (upwards motions) stop working for minutes at a time in the middle of matches.

I just don’t want to shell out for something that’s only going to work on the 360, that seems retarded.

No, Xbox One controllers and accessories do not work on the Xbox 360.

Unless you dual-mod the stick, it will not be cross compatible with both the 360 and the XBone.

is the shaft cover on the brawlstick joystick supposed to fit on the JLF?
On mine the brawlstick shaft cover is bigger than the JLF shaft. I suppose I could just cut it.

EDIT: I posted this in the wrong thread, thought I was in the absolute question thread.

What is your opinion on dual-modding the stick?

I would like to get the XBone one and mod it for 360 use, or the 360 one and mod it later for Xbone use.

Any thoughts on Cronus Max for that purpose?

In general you would need a PCB for each system you want the stick to support for.
Now there a few multi system PCBs but they cover mostly older more retro systems.

Cronus Max has issues and I would avoid it unless you want to spend even more on the long run.
Also with the Cronus you would still need a Xbox One controller anyways.

^^

Can you elaborate on the Cronus Max issues? Why would I need an Xbox One controller anyway?

Right now I have the 360 and no Xbox One - I just want the Xbox One TE stick.
