So I saw some pictures on the website and compared the Fusion with the Qanba Q4RAF.

What happened to the mode button?

[eightarc]

just got my fusion a few days ago and i couldn’t be more pleased. however after several hours of play on both consoles the LED lights are displaying incorrectly. when i plug the stick into the ps3 and press the home button to sync the LED lights up red for “1” then after a few seconds blue lights up “4” and “1”. Both red and blue LED lights can be seen lit up in “1”. The stick still works great regardless but I just find it odd. Is there anything I should be worried about? Could this cause future problems? It doesn’t bother me as long as the stick does it’s job.

Thanks. I really enjoy the product so far.

Hello j3tl3, please contact us at info@eightarc.com and we’ll get this taken care of.

Hello Eightarc!

Looking for an upgrade from this Madcatz SE stick and happened to stumble around on this thread and i’m very thrilled at the products. I’ll definitely have a purchase whenever i have the sufficient amount of money.
Will there be other xbox360 sticks made? Preferredly with a plastic base. Also is there a possibility for PS360/PC stick to have detachable cord (may be impossible but i’m just curious :))

I’m going to also favor the purple ISO

Hi yay4pachirisu, we do not have any plans to make additional 360 joysticks, nor to add a detachable cord to our FUSION product line, but we will take this into consideration for the future.

So I saw some pictures on the website and compared the Fusion with the Qanba Q4RAF.

What happened to the mode button?

The mini mode button was replaced with a mini start button. PC mode functionality is not available on the FUSION model. If this is an important feature for you, please look into these three models which include the PC mode:
ISO PS3 Ebony
ISO PS3 Onyx
ISO PS3 Pearl

Thanks.

Hi Ragnorok64, to clarify, there is “PC mode” button on the ISO PS3 Ebony, ISO PS3 Onyx, ISO PS3 Pearl that toggles the XY axis of the Sanwa JLF joystick when you use it on a Windows computer. There are a few games which use this functionality like aircraft simulators out there.

The FUSION joystick does not have this functionality but will still work with Windows computers.

How’s the input lag on the ISO 360 Onyx? Was going to grab a Qanba Q4 but the whole added circuitry for the 360/PC is putting me off, I feel like it will add a tiny bit of delay. Think im going to import a Onyx to the UK start/mid November and stick a LS-32-01 and PS-14-KN’s in as EX-SE’s and VX-SE’s are very hard to come by. But i’m curious about the Onyx’s PCB and input lag.
Do you have any images of the internals of the 360 Onyx? Also would it be easier to fit an LS-32 or LS-32-01. Also any rough idea on the delivery time to the UK?
Thank you The stick does look lovely btw!

I’m not sure what that means. The ability to swap what the x and y axis do?

In any case, I just ordered my Fusion. Looking forward to getting it!

I’m voting purple, too

There is no input lag. Ricky, who got 2nd place at Season’s Beatings had no problem landing his combo into ultra multiple times throughout the tournament on his Eightarc joystick

We are working on getting internal pictures onto our website.

Both the LS-32-02 and LS-32-01 will fit as they have the same 80mm x 40mm mounting hole pattern.

Based on our past shipments to the UK, yours will be delivered to you in approximately 7 days.

Just think of the invert mouse function in any first person shooter.

I’m voting purple, too

3 votes for purple.

Interested in buying the fusion, has anyone custom any of theirs yet or is there a video or forum of people that have done work on theirs, I have ideas but how easy is it to do work on one

[tastylumpia]

PURPLE!!!

I’ll be using the eightarc Onyx this weekend at Drom’s. I gave it a first run at the last TNT, did well and the stick performed perfectly!

[andrumcneil]

Just ordered an eightarc fusion and a plexi for my friend on friday. He’s been playing on a ghetto home made stick for a long time so he’s pretty excited to get his hands on this bad boy. I’m equally excited even though it’s not mine as I’m an arcade stick junkie.When it comes in i’ll post up some impressions.

Also the stick was shipped almost immediately after the payment was made so props to eightarc for that. Nothing worse than buying a product from the US (I’m Canadian) and having to 3-5 days before it even ships out.

Also I think it would be awesome if you guys offered a fusion in all white. Additional colors for the ISO and Fusion (Such as purple) sound sick as well but i think it would be better to have the basic black/white for all sticks first.

My baby pearl will be in my hands on thursday .Thank you guys . You guys should put eightarc logo on the left side of the Pearl usb slot ,it would look sick. .Now I need some $ to buy a Qanba Q3 wireless for ps3. :rock:

I get mine on monday and have planned to LED the crap out of it, clean up the wiring, and maybe dual mod, I will post pics of the stock inside as well as close ups of the PCB and such.
