Anybody use the Qanba Q1 arcade stick for shumps?

I was wondering if anything not made by Hori or Madcatz is good. Perhaps that's a flawed way of thinking to begin with.

Anyways, your thoughts are appreciated.

I had sought long and hard to get one of these (as they are cheap), but I settled for a CronusMax and use my Xbox360 Hori on the Ps3. Works like a charm :mrgreen:

If an arcade stick is too light, can you just open it up and put something inside it to give it more weight?

Of course. Arcade sticks contain as much free space as a bag of chips.

Some people put rolls of coins inside to weigh it down. I would use a bag of sand (just make sure it's not leaking).

I use one of the Qanba Q2 SE sticks (bought from Arcade Shock) and I can't recommend it enough. LS-58-01 is the second best stick I've ever used for shootemups (I slightly prefer the LS-56-01). Buttons are solid too. Great stick all around.
