This just arrived, Qanba Q4 Pro - Iori Yagami edition

[u/tequilafc]

Waited a few weeks for this order on Taobao. V nice, Qanba buttons instead of Sanwa. Replacing my ancient Mad Catz SF4 TE. Super happy 😁

[u/Sansores1]

With the purple alt color? Sick!

[u/tequilafc → u/Sansores1]

Yeah love it! Was torn between this and the Terry one. But Iori and the purple did it for me in the end.

[u/Tuskuiii]

Looks amazing How is the stick feeling compared to te2?

[u/tequilafc → u/Tuskuiii]

Stick is great, really smooth! I've modded the TE with a seimitsu LS40, so like the old neo geo sticks. But I'm enjoying the JLF at the moment, and I'll stick with it for a while. I have an extra seimitsu that I was thinking of putting in this, but I'll keep playing with the original first. The purple ball top with the pimples feels really nice.

[u/Vampiremul_Arcade]

Wow!! That Qanba with a little more lighting would be truly spectacular!

[u/tequilafc → u/Vampiremul_Arcade]

Lighting on the buttons would be pretty cool

[u/dudeihatethispart]

That is the best official custom stick I've seen since Mad Catz's Street Fighter V sticks.

[u/Lliven → u/dudeihatethispart]

Yeah the last retail stick I bought was the
Razer Pantera 10 years ago. But this looks great.

[u/OrBlanc20]

Got the same one, wish they used a clear panel tho, thankfully it's easily replaceable

[u/tequilafc → u/OrBlanc20]

Yeah the panel is blurry... Who at Qanba thought that was a good idea?

[u/Negative-Bandicoot21]

I think those are still sanwa buttons. It just has qanba stickers on it

[u/Redd_is_compromised → u/Negative-Bandicoot21]

If not explicitly listed, Qanbas always use inhouse clones of sanwas.

[u/tequilafc → u/Redd_is_compromised]

Oh that would be pretty fraudulent if they don't use real Sanwa parts

[u/tequilafc → u/Negative-Bandicoot21]

I checked this with AI before I bought it.

[u/tequilafc → u/Negative-Bandicoot21]

On taobao, it says both the Iori and Terry sticks use Qanba. They should be Qanba, they are not loud like the usual sanwas
