These are slightly positioned downwards and away from the main buttons to prevent accidentally pressing these while in a match. In terms of the functional buttons, such as the START, OPTIONS, PS BUTTON, etc., you have these on the right side of the stick. But, again, it’s not a dealbreaker, and you get used to it after a while, but it’s just something that’s a bit off. Works with a wide array of Sanwa balltops, battops and Seimitsu balltops, including the Seimitsu LB-39 Bubbletop, Sanwa LB-35 Balltop, and Sanwa LB-30 N-S Battop. One annoying thing I noticed when playing was the stock plexi that comes with the stick does tend to make a squeaking sound, especially when resting my wrists on it. Sanwas premiere joystick is the de-facto standard in most Japanese arcade setups, and widely adopted in the Madcatz series of joysticks. But for a beginner, the standard Qanba parts would be more than sufficient and a lot better than a stock Qanba Drone or other budget fightsticks. Would I prefer Sanwa parts? Yes, probably. The Drone features a Qanba joystick and pushbuttons to ensure tournament-grade performance without breaking the bank. The bottom of the chassis isn’t flat and has a non-slip coating. The Fight Stick is built around a large plastic frame with the top tilted towards the player by about 5 degrees. The joystick isn’t too bad either and responds well.Īs far as I could see, I didn’t get any missed inputs, like I sometimes get with the Drone, no matter how much I messed with it. The Drone is Qanba’s answer to the players’ calls for a cost effective fightstick that performs high-end, making it an excellent choice for both first-time buyers and traveling veterans. It is a typical Vewlix stick and offers a better gaming experience than a typical console controller. I would probably compare them to Seimitsu buttons, which are not bad. At the same, however, they are very responsive. First, the buttons are a bit heavy (probably because of the LEDs) and not light to touch like on a Sanwa stick. So how does the Crystal Fair? Surprisingly good. However, these are more expensive fightsticks, so it makes sense that Eightarc would choose to go with their parts. Interestingly, this is different from the Qanba Obsidian and Qanba Dragon. What does it feel like to play? Qanba CrystalĮightarc has used its joystick and buttons in the Qanba Crystal. This is a lot better and doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Unlike other sticks, this doesn’t have a flap to open and close the compartment door. In addition, there’s also a hidden compartment for cable storage. This is useful for carrying the stick around, like in a tournament setting. The Crystal has a pop-out carrying handle at the top. Although, this can be modded in, so no biggie. If I have one minor complaint, having the ball top translucent would have been nice to match the stick’s overall design. The artwork has been illustrated with some cool Chinese calligraphy.įinally, the buttons and ball top are white with a translucent effect around the LED (more on that later). Firstly, the case is made up of solid plastic and is translucent for that crystal-like effect. The design of the Qanba Crystal is, in a word, awesome. There are 2 anti-slip strips on the bottom which further prevent it from sliding on a table, for instance. ![]() ![]() Rest assured, the stick doesn’t move around on my lap and feels comfortable to hold. The Crystal has a decent weight at 7 pounds (3kg). I’ve had bigger sticks, of course, but its size pretty much fits perfectly on my lap. It measures roughly 17 inches across (43cm). Please read my full review by clicking on the link below.The Qanba Crystal is noticeably bigger than the Drone. This already makes it a unique fightstick that should not be overlooked. The RAP N also has one more trick up its sleeve in that it also has the ‘Noir’ button layout, as opposed to the traditional viewlix layout you find on most sticks these days. The joystick lever and eight buttons are laid. The fact that there is a headphone jack, the ability to swap artwork, and the repositioning of the annoying OPTIONS button means HORI listened to the complaints of the RAP4. But, honestly, pictures dont do it justice its a lot better in person. Like the RAP 4, the RAP N is a fantastic mid-range fightstick, but with some added features that make it, in my opinion, better than the RAP 4.
