In my experience normal ones are usually more expensive than this, although you can sometimes pick up a soulcalibur/tekken/vf one on ebay for about that price. My tekken 5 hori was about £30-£40 delivered off ebay from a domestic seller.coolix wrote:Where did you buy it ?SAM wrote:How come? It cost me only US$58.97 shipped.
HRAP2's are going for a fortune however.

It cost only $60 preorder back then when the RAP is Out of Stock. With a coupon I make it down to US$58.97 shipped.tekneekz wrote:whoa how did u get it from 99 to 58 with coupons from play-asia. i paid $113 from vgonetwork. if u can get more for a similar price like yours i would buy it from you
If I bought from PlayAsia now with a coupon, it would cost US$78.97 shipped via surface.

I personally think they suck. Nasty cheap chinese-made sticks that feel horrible in your hand.Soldato J wrote:..any reviews/impressions? Thanks in advance
But heaps of other people don't think they suck, so whatever. I make all my own sticks anyway. That way I get the exact brand parts I want instead of taking a chance with stuff like the above (plus it works out cheaper, but is a pain if you don't have the tools/room/skill to make them).
Just what I was thinking...I got it for 40 bucks anyway, so even if I just paid for the case then cool, it is a cool case. Can you point me at one of those solderless mod tutorials?Kingbuzzo wrote:when you buy it, you're buying the case cause the stick and buttons are low grade. It's a very nice case though, and there are solderless mod tutorials out there. I'd say go for it and mod that bitch

Why be afraid of soldering? It's not that hard, or that expensive for the soldering gun, solder, and other equipment (such as rosin, and a desoldering bulb). If you make a mistake in soldering you can just remelt the solder, suck it up with the desoldering bulb, and then try again.
Although it does help if you learn from an old pro on how to solder properly, as there is a little bit of technique to it (such as heating up the parts that you want to solder, instead of just melting the solder with the gun).
Radio Shack used to sell project books on building your own electronic equipment. You might want to check and see if they have a such a book which gives soldering techniques.

True Vertex Zenith, I am no longer afraid of soldering myself....
So since I am a neophyte when it comes to this, are all the parts universal? I know Sanwa makes good buttons. Can anyone recommend a good stick/button brand (I keep hearing HAPP)?

US: only Happ
JP: Seitmitsu or Sanwa
Stick depends on whether you want teardrop (US) or ball (JP). US sticks tend to be stiff, JP sticks loose. Seimitsu sticks feel better doing motions, Sanwa sticks feel better hitting diagonals. US buttons tend to activate with a harder press than JP buttons. Seimitsu buttons tend to resist slightly more than Sanwa buttons, although not as much as Happ buttons.

For USA arcade parts: Happ Controls & Wico...
Wico also sells arcade parts for USA arcade industry besides Happ Controls. And yes, it is either one forms an opinion whether they like to use Seimitsu arcade sticks for shmups and Sanwa arcade sticks for fighting game. For others, it would Sanwa arcade sticks for shmups and Seimitsu sticks for fighting games...it's all just a matter of prefference. And the same would apply to Seimitsu and Sanwa push buttons as well. ^_~

Best guide I've found yet for making your own multi-console arcade controls:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jdpyle1/controls.htm
I personally think their end result was a bit ugly, but it's the technical nature of the document that's important, not the aesthetics. Obviously substituting the parts they used for your preferred brands is a no-brainer.
