Hori's Hayabusa Stick and Kuro Buttons

Hayabusa Stick and Kuro Button

So Hori decided to join the arcade stick and button competition with Seimitsu and Sanwa. It's available now on Hori's site. Pricing is not bad in the US and Japan (dunno about other countries), lower than Seimitsu or Sanwa for sure. From what I heard, the Hayabusa Stick has a similar plate to the JLF's and can use Sanwa JLF stick sleeves. These arcade parts were used on Hori's Fighting Edge.

HOW is a smaller contact point which obviously creates more friction, allowing for less deterioration?

Same stick as their VX / V3 sticks? - These seemed fine, so seems a reasonable proposition.

Not sure about any of these wear and tear claims - I'm sure they've covered themselves with some kind of quantitative comparison, but strikes me as suspect unless they'd compare themselves directly to something specific.

The intriguing suggestion is that they're presumably muscling in on the performance/authenticity end of their market, and the possibility of doing away with partners for all but the most particular/expensive of consumer products... I suppose the gamble's more for the Western/Chinese markets than the Japanese domestic, and to recapture the initiative from MadCatz and the like in the home consumer market ... but I'm off in presumption land here...

Same stick as their Fighting Edge. Not the vx/v3.

I see the Fighting Edge white is suddenly available in the UK. Features the Hayabusa. Anybody know anything in terms of throw, engage etc? I'm a Seimitsu devotee, and love their short throw/engage sticks like the LS-56. I'd be very happy to hear that this is similar.

Less surface area = less friction, all things being equal.

I just like to hang out in Teach Talk, because I'm such a curious spirit!
