Once again, thank you for covering how this sits in the lap! The placement of those nonslip pads looks like it might work on my legs better than my RAP sticks. I've never tried a noir layout stick, but I love Hayabusa components, so I may have to pick one of these up!

I hope they come out with more colors of this stick, looks like a fun stick to design for with the easy access to the artwork

[KillahManjaro]

I have two of the Madcatz TE2 and one TE R2 from 2010. That's my favorite stick because it's build solid like a tank.
Replacing the buttons and stick component is a breeze.

Love these vids! Just got into fighting games cuz of your videos and now I watch too mny arcade sticks vids

[wahlawigi]

it's so exciting seeing peripherals for the new generation of consoles

You talk so much about the sound and feel of fightsticks, I feel like you will enjoy the world of custom mechanical keyboards.

[ThxMiketsukami]

Great review! I also like the buttons all up the front.
Fill the inside with something could make the stick sound less hollow and heavier, I would like to see somebody design a form with a compartment for weights or a updated version with something like this.

[steelstalker]

It's amazing because it's so light. Super comfortable on your lap.

[davilasvas]

Thank you!
I was waiting for your review!
I can’t wait to see the PS5 version!

I think it's a pretty neat stick, but after using the PS4 Fighting Edge for the last 3 years I'd never switch back to a plexiglass top stick. If they do make an aluminum edition, though, I'd be all over it.

I have my eye on this stick, the PS edition for Strive drops in Japan at the end of June, so only a matter of time till a US release. The cord storage looks bad but if there is enough clearance a couple of small hooks or posts could allow for storage without touching components. Also I like the large gap the cable comes out of.

[FeiFongWang]

Why do you all always insist on breaking Tekken, jfc.

[goya]

Man, was hype about this stick but when I saw the cable managing for the USB plug. Design wise its not that great and to close to the button cables.

[JunJunMusume]

Love your videos. I would love to get more arcade sticks myself but man, the import taxes on my country are devastating.
This looks like a nice stick, it's sad thought the cable compartment is a little messy.

[DowntheRabbitHole]

I have the Mad Catz TE2 stick .... didn't realize it was "legendary" and no longer in production. I better treat it with velvet gloves from now on. :)

[ClaytonMathisVO]

That's so cool they allow you to change the art and buttons! I have a lot of fighting games on my Xbox and KOF XIII and Killer Instinct just doesn't feel right on a pad to me.

[Jermainskee]

That coco ichibanya shirt though! I need me one. So glad they have it here in korea.

[Jrock]

I'm loving my hori alpha fighting stick

[BasedSif]

It looks light. Or Nihingo gamer is just really strong in his wrists from reviewing sticks so much

[andrewrounds]

Love the T-shirt. When I was stationed out in Okinawa in the Marine Corps, CoCos was always the best place to eat. I miss it daily.
