qanbaB1 Titan Wired Joystick for PlayStation 5/4 and PC

This has been my favorite stick since I purchased it. All Sanwa parts. My favorite part was the extended layout. It's my main stick. Have had it for months before I wanted to write a review

This is my first arcade stick and it reminds me of the arcades 30 years ago. The weight is good on it and the buttons and stick feel very responsive. I instantly went from about a 10% win rate with my buddy to about 50/50. He still won most though. Ithe button spacing is good for my larger hands and the base of it sits comfortably in my lap with plenty of palm room. Highly recommend.

I've enjoyed using the stick for the past few months, the design and aesthetic suit me and it is comfortable to play with for long periods of time. All Sanwa parts so no need to change anything. Only gripe is cost. Should be 30% cheaper.

TL;DR: Cheapest possible plastic and screws, menu buttons press on their own, wayyy overpriced. How the hell is this thing the same price as the Qanba Pearl/Obsidian?Qanba’s quality has plummeted. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I rarely write reviews for anything. Heres why this stick sucks:1.) Very crappy, cheap plastic throughout. Does not feel “solid”. Screws will strip the first time unscrewing them (I.e., NOT mod friendly). Absolute pain changing internals (buttons/lever/etc.)2.) SUPER buggy on PS5. When resetting in practice mode on Tekken 8, it takes a screenshot, or a video, or both. RIP PS5 storage…3.) Sometimes the “save recording” menu will appear mid-game. You HAVE to play with the control buttons locked, otherwise you’re in for one hell of a headache. Can never skip intros again.4.) Lightweight. This one may be controversial, but I prefer a heavy stick. Doesn’t feel great in my lap.5.) Unthoughtful button design. Referring to the menu buttons. The round border of the PS button overlaps with the L3 button. Just move it 2cm to the left. It’s a minor flaw, but shows lazy design and really speaks volumes to the overall quality of this device.Any redeeming factors? Not in my opinion. Some minor quality-of-life things:1.) Wire is easy to put away in the small compartment. But you can’t unplug it completely, so it always sticks out, which is lame.2.) Stick has a large distance from the buttons. Some people believe it’s more comfortable/ergonomic. I disagree. Makes no difference. To each their own.3.) Small compartment under the case allows changing your lever top from ball/bat/etc., without having to open the entire thing. I like the idea - someone, somewhere at Qanba had the idea to make this mod friendly. But it’s lacking in so many other areas when it comes to modding that this small perk becomes worthless. It’s a nightmare to get this thing open with the terribly cheap screws. Don’t expect to open it more than a couple times, unless you replace the screws like I did.4.) Overall shape of the device is nice, and it doesn’t dig into your wrists. Nothing groundbreaking though. Many others with the same/similar shape.All that said, this thing is NOT worth the money. I recommend shopping around for other options, and perhaps building a custom stick if there are specific features you’re after. Otherwise, the wait for a quality certified PS5 stick continues.Razer: bring back the original 2017 Panthera! The Lamborghini of fighting sticks for only $150.
