awww there was a contest?
I wish my name was on that list, where’s the pennsylvania love?
How many entrants were there?
According to GameSpot, there were several hundred entries per day. There are people still submitting entries actually right now so we wanted to get the word out that winners have already been announced and they have received their prizes. I saw a winner on SRK and a couple on NEOGAF.
Hey guys, this is not our last contest. We will have more. Follow us on twitter and like us on facebook for the latest contest announcements.
I hope you guys will pack up the sticks better when you give them out or sell them. Gamespot just wrapped a paper grocery bag around the box for mine. It arrived fine in terms of the stick, but the LOVELY packaging box has some serious nicks and dents. Even then, to quote my wife “Wow, a joystick company that actually has a sense of design for their packaging? About time.” (She works as a designer.)
Great sticks though, I’ll be repping it locally and would consider another as soon as I’m in the market for another. Absolutely love the case.
Hey Eightarc
Was wondering if I overlaid custom art over the original panel, would it still fit when I screw everything in?
I’m buying a clear panel from you guys but I wanna see how it looks like before I buy the panel
Thanks
I’m getting this exact issue with my stick playing on PS3, anything I can do to fix it?
Congrats on the free joystick! Was there a cardboard shipping box around the grey Eightarc box? Thanks for the kind words on our box design: your wife has good taste
Hi Magnetix, if you use the clear panel and your own art, our stock faceplate panel is not used. Everything should fit fine.
yeah there was also cardboard around the box.
*Professional Fighting Joystick *indeed.
Thanks for the answer but I was wondering if I used the stock faceplate panel that is already on my Fusion and I put art over it, will it still fit?
Can’t believe you guys are sold out of the eight arc fusion. Will you guys be restocking soon?
Edit: nvm I just read that you guys are restocking.
Hi Magnetix, it’s either or. You can use the stock faceplate, or you can use your own art and clear panel. The stock faceplate and clear panel cannot both be used at the same time.
The stock faceplate is opaque btw. Not sure if you have taken apart the joystick yet, but once you do it should be easy to see what is going on.
There isn’t any problem honestly, I can’t speak highly enough of the eightarc in terms of presentation and the actual stick is outstanding.
Highly recommended! These are more than legit folks!

You know I always figures Qanba got by since it’s a Chinese company but are you guys worried that with the attention you’re getting you may get cease and desisted from Microsoft for offering a pre-dual modded stick?
