Yup, now I’m getting some squeaking after the fix. Maybe silicon grease to fix the problem?
I opened it up and I found the problem. The square restrictor plate insert is loose. Not sure if there’s any possible solution other than to buy a new gate. Damn I just voided my warranty lol.
Pardon my ignorance, but does the Ebony Fusion still have the loose button problem as evidenced in this video?

Not that it matters, since I placed my order already.
^a good solution for that is using screw-in (OBSN) buttons, if you dont mind the more limited colors, and ofc spending more.
Big shout-outs to Eight-Arc / Qanba for hooking me up w/ parts for my Eight-Arc Pearl (PS3)!
The long and short of it is I needed a new internal USB connection and USB cable and I contacted them and they hooked me up w/ some nice replacement parts for my stick…This was a very specific part (That they don’t sell on their web site) that I couldn’t find any where else. Not only that it was for a product that they don’t sell anymore…they don’t sell the Pearl any more just the Fusions.
You can tell that Eight-Arc is a home grown business and they care about there customers…
So I got to give it up to Eight-Arc / Qanba. They even threw in a replacement panel for the USB connection, screws and all.
No offence to Mark Man / Mad Catz….but I think that if I needed a specific part for my TE I would have had to “Hold Dat” shit and be up shits creek.
Oh and Eight-Arc! Bring back the Pearl / Onyx case! I love the wood case; In fact it’s my favorite stick that I own. And this is coming from a man w/ several TE’s and a Hori VLX. They only thing that’s missing from the Pearl is the dual mod function!
If you bring that case back I would love to have a dual modded Onyx!
Thanks again!
Here’s some pics of what I was dealing w/ !
Seimtsu buttons have a better selection of colors for there screw ins.
I just got dat Ice Blue Q4RAF. This stick is godlike. I’d take it over a TE anyday. Ever since the first time I used one (a couple of years ago) I was already sold. The felt bottom is just too smart.
Just ordered my Fusion, can’t wait!
Any tips for PC compatability/General use tips? i’m an arcade stick newbie
K, so my fusion won’t work on PC at all. in fact, the mode switch doesn’t seem to matter, as either mode works on my Xbox.<div><br></div><div>Can you please help me here?</div>
Can anyone comment on shipping turnaround time?
I ordered a Fusion on a morning and a few hours later it was shipped. It’s taken one week to arrive (Europe) and now I’m just waiting for customs to stop twiddling their thumbs.<br><br>e: And it’s here. It’s quite wonderful, now to add some art.<br>
How did the plate and USB connect manage to end up like that? Have you had anymore issues since? What could you have done to prevent this from happen in the first place?
I’m just asking because I plan on having my fusion modded so the cable is detachable and comes out the front case.
Has anyone modified their ivory/synthesis/ebony fusion stick so the the cable comes out the front of the case and is detachable?
i used my eightarc fusion on windows 8 no problem (ggpo, SFIAE on steam/GFWL, and suparc)…
I’m thinking of getting the QANBA Q4. How long does it usually take to get your stick in the east coast after ordering? The main reason for getting this is to only have to carry one stick as I have no modders near me and I don’t have the time or patience to do it myself.
Are these sticks just as good parts wise, as the te sticks? Can anyone share the cons and pros vs the te stick?
Thank you.
They use Sanwa by default, so the parts are identical. And, should you want to change anything, the process is so much nicer on a QanBa than a TE - I’ve found changing the buttons on my TE to be hugely irritating. They’re maybe a bit lighter than a TE, but not by much (and there’s room to add weight inside). The handle is very useful.
Apart from the Namco TEs having the Noir layout (the reason I bought a SCV one) I honestly can’t think of any reason to get a TE over a Q4 RAF.
Is the outer material where the wrist rest is the same on fusion ivory and fusion ebony?
What kind of material is it?
Madcatz is having a promo for NCR 2013. Will EIGHTARC have one too?
I’m curious to know if Eightarc will be offering up either a sale or a promo code during UFGT in a couple weeks time. I’m needing a new stick for a series of tournaments I’m going to starting in June and running through the end of August (the series concludes with a event I run in Northeastern Texas).
i’m trying to use my eightarc stick on pc. how do I switch between analog and digital?
