I gotta give it to eightarc. Haven’t bought one yet but sure plan too. (need an upgrade from this madcatz SE). But, they have some grade A customer service. And from what I’ve heard on the thread they also have some grade A products. Just one question. Will ya’ll have any promotions for the sticks during Evo on your site? (crossing my fingers for one)
Unfortunately, we do not offer the mini buttons for sale. The player had modded it from an Ice Blue or Fusion Sapphire joystick that he also bought onto a Fusion Ivory.
We should be restocking the clear panels in 1-2 months.

Not sure for Evo but we may have something in store for UFGT8 and NWM4. We’ll keep you posted and also make announcements on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
So im buying a Eightarc/Qanba. But I want to know whats the difference between a Qanba Ice Red and a Eight Arc Fusion? Why are the Eight Arcs more expensive when it looks like more work went into making the Ice Red/Blue look better? I R CONFUS’DDEDDEDD. Im on the fence either Ice Red or a Fusion Black, im buying one tomorrow for sure though :).
Qanbas and Eightarc sticks are essentially the same, except that the Eightarc doesn’t have the start button on the front panel (one of the smaller top buttons) and also does not include carry handle (which some people prefer not to have). If you play offline a fair bit, I’d get an Eightarc simply because of the start button placement, but if you don’t, I guess you can go for the flashier-looking Qanbas.
Interesting, so they removed the carrying handle on all the eightarcs? So in terms of parts they are all the same? I would figure that the EightArcs would be cheaper because they removed the handle? God this is hard for me to choose. thanks for the reply.
Its kind of confusing on the eight arc web page because they use to only sell eightarc’s at first they are kind of like a special edition of the qanba only sold on that website were qanba’s are sold everywhere but now they sell qanba’s also so its kind of confusing.
Just go with the one that looks best and which one you can afford lol. The qanbas look really good and are a little easier to travel with cuz of the handle. But that start button can be a problem if your not careful. But the eightarcs just look more professional to me. Just my opinion.
Hey, when will the Ice Blue be restocked? I was planning on ordering one tomorrow when I got paid but see that they’re sold out now.
Is there a tentative price for the Fusion Synthesis? Also, are those the clear sanwa push buttons?
I’ve searched all over the internet for something more than those 4 pics. Sadly, those 4 pics are all thats there for the synthesis. I think it’s going to $199.99 like the limited run of the fusion sapphire, but don’t quote me on that one, it’s just a hunch. I think it’s gonna be like that cuz in the post by eightarc with the pics they say “it’s probably going to be more than a limited run”. So, you know that it’s either going to be more expensive or harder to get.
Forgot to include in my last reply but yes they are clear sanwa push buttons. The only info i got is that they are “Sanwa Clear OBSC” buttons. This and the fact that it has a Sanwa JLF in it is all i could get from their facebook page, or anywhere for that matter.
Hello are you getting the Q4 Black model in again or is it discontinued? Thankyou.

How much does shipping cost for the fusions?
any additional information about the Qanba Q2? are you guys going to release it here in the states? what are the prices?
This would be dependent on where we would be shipping the joystick. If it is within the continental USA, the shipping fee is $20. If it is within the intercontinental USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the shipping charge is $45. Everywhere else is $75.
We’ll have some more information soon. We added some more bits of information on our Facebook album of the Q2. We do plan on releasing it here in the USA but do not have a set date yet. Pricing is still to be determined.
So will you guys be having any online promotions now that it is UFGT8?
