(Day 2 Update) i put this arcade stick through the ring of fire the other day useing it across multi titles such as street fighter 5 guilty gear revelator and blazblue central fiction and nitro+blasterz i tested the arcade stick on both PC and PS4/PS3 full support without 3rd party drivers confirmed
the arcade stick was used extensively for hours i dont sweat much but if you do you will need to clean the arcade stick plexi so it stays shiny the arcade stick never gave me wrong inputs it was very responsive i was able to do my usual diffcult and extremely highly skilled combos with great ease the only thing that got in my way was my own user input timeing errors thats the nice way of saying i sometimes drop my combos at critical game winning moments! no arcade stick lag was detected on my end weather on PC (PC requires USB3 to work) or consol once again great job qanba!
Good arcade stick, works with PS5, the stock parts are upper acceptable.
So I bought this to mod, specifically after seeing a video where someone shows how to swap out the stock Qanba parts for Sanwa switches while retaining the LED effect. As far as I know this is the only stick that has this specific LED effect stock, and my only gripe is that it's neither green nor RGB.
That part of the modding process worked out just fine, Qanba's button and stick housing work just fine with Sanwa SWITCHES and the Joystick parts with nothing more significant than learning how to disassemble an arcade push button. I swapped out the button switches for some of those extra-firm Sanwa key switches and they fit and work just fine without compromising the blue LEDs.
Minor complaint: I did not realize that the Qanba Crystal's button housing was about 1.5 times deeper than a regular Sanwa plunger. What happens is that the button goes deep into the button housing, and there are plastic stoppers that prevent the button from hitting the LED's PCB and. as a consequence, the switch.
I really should have done some research on this before buying regular Sanwa button plungers to customize my Crystal with. The only other case of this I've found was a modder who resolved to use Seimitsu caps, but never updated the thread on his results. Personally I'm looking into a 3D printing solution to this, I already spent too much on pretty Sanwa buttons to justify shelving them for Seimitsu buttons that might not be the exact colors I want.

JOYSTICK: The stick feels incredibly responsive and has a square gate like most arcade sticks on the market, with over 100 hours of use its still tight and responsive and I'm a moderately heavy handed player. Lots of hand space on this stick is also a desired feature for someone like me with moderately larger hands.
BUTTONS: The first thing I noticed with the Qanba buttons is that how light and responsive they are. Super fast and was amazed these weren't Sanwa parts, but the in house Qanba made buttons. 8 button format makes it ideal; for 6 button fighters like Street Fighter and Skullgirls.The secondary buttons are on a lower ledge on the right side of the casing which include things like SHARE, OPTIONS, LED settings, TURBO, and the PS Home button among some selection switches and the L3 and R3 buttons. I really love that feature as they wont get in the way or pressed accidentally if you are a wild player. A PS touchpad is on the top right away from the face buttons and is in a great position compared to many other PS4 sticks.
CASE/FRAME: The overall design and structure of the frame of arcade stick is beautiful, sturdy, and feels good, the compartments on the left side of the stick are for USB cord storage and the door is held in place by magnets instead of the standard tab style doors. This is great due to the fact most tab style doors simply break off over time, and the magnets are a great strength. At the top of the stick is a carrying handle that folds out from the frame if you carry it places or go to tournaments frequently. If its a stationary stick and never moves, you wont even notice the handle is there. The bottom has two patches of textured rubber to prevent the stick from sliding on surfaces and to stick to your lap if that's your style of play.
Aesthetics with the white/chrome/grey style really makes the LED lights pop!
LED: The LED lighting is a great addition to this stick for the price range, lots of people pay top dollar to mod arcade sticks to include LED lighting, and this stick does it right. The blue lighting works very well with the grey style aesthetics on the Qanba Crystal. The lights are responsive on the buttons and when the joystick is moved in any direction away from neutral.
3 LED modes are present,
1. Any time an input happens, the LEDs activate
2. Any time vibration occurs, in most cases from taking damage or from doing special attacks, lights up the entire button and stick interface
3. All on, all the time, this mode simply turns them on and keeps them on regardless of inputs.
OVERALL: This stick is a real bargain at the current price range. Whereas it's clearly not on the same level as say the Qanba Obsidian its a great mid-tier entry from Qanba. The aesthetics are amazing for the price you pay and the buttons feel like Sanwa quality, if modding is your thing there are dozens of modding videos out there if you want to change out the stick or buttons although it might be a tad bit more difficult due to the LED lighting, I wouldn't recommend buying this stick if modding is your intention.
I play this stick with Tekken 7 and Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator on PS4 and it works and feels great!
