qanba Gravity Mechanical Shafts Arcade Joystick Silent Lever Joystick Original(JCV8)

I've been using arcade sticks for a little over 10 years and I've grown a custom to the clickiness and the clackiness of the buttons and also the lever.Really I decided to get these because my wife was going to buy me a whole new stick for my birthday and that was so sweet of her but I decided I would use that money on her instead and let me just get a little upgrade.What I expected was a little upgrade what I ended up getting is so far beyond that.Usually when I get a lever I'm changing something in it to actuator the tension spring the ball itself. With this I did not touch anything and it felt amazing straight out the box. Not only is it amazing to play with because of the silent design I can now enjoy my games while my wife is taking a nap or sleeping. It has literally helped my marriage.Is it silent yes but let's talk about how it feels to play. Directions to crisp I have yet to feel like I've missed an input. Medium throw range (the time that the stick moves before it triggers the direction)Also comes with pin connectors and square,octa and circle gates 👀 it's honestly for any instal that will fit!Absolutely worth the price.

i have five of these, i absolutely love them, i prefer these omron models over the micro cherry switch models, one thing though you may want to use a much tighter spring because even with the ones they provide for you, it doesn't feel as tight enough and doesn't rebound as quick as the ones i modded into the joystick i bought. Overall its a really good choice it is silent as advertised and it comes with 2 different gates to use and a 5 pin wire which is great it saves you the cost of buying extra. Give it a go if you're curious but just change out the springs for sanwa springs they're alot better in my opinion

I have bought about 4 different types of joysticks for my cocktail arcade table and they were ALL sloppy and loud. I bought this Quanba Gravity Silent Joystick and all I can say is WOW! It comes with all 3 variants of restrictor plates for the movement you want to set it to. Also comes with 3 different tension springs. I put in the Heavy spring and the joystick reacts just like the ones in the arcades back in the 80’s! Love it so much that I am buying another one for the Player 2 side. Just wish it had light up capabilities. Super Awesome Joystick though! If you have a 5 pin joystick and are tired of sloppy old joysticks, this Quanba is the answer to your prayers!Silent as ever too! No more annoying clicking sounds!

Yes, those are Qanba buttons, yes that is a Qanba metal balltop, and yes that is an 8bitdo covered in a vinyl skin. I loved the retro look of the stick, but with the silver, it didn't look so hot.As I would assume anyone buying this stick is looking for, this is much quieter than any stick I've ever used. Unlike the buttons, using the silent stick has taken a bit for me to get used to, as it does feel a little different, but the adjustment didn't take all that long. Overall I really like the feel now that I'm accustomed this is my favorite stick, and using a traditional one now seems annoyingly loud. To each their own, but I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Switches are secured by plastic rails that attempt to hug the housing. Though this results in a switch that is heavily prone to rebound inputs and has around 1mm of play for each switch. The oversize actuator doesn't help it's case either making for really sensitive and inconsistent inputs. Tested 1.5,2,4lb spring tension and this did not help the rebound. Also not silent if you hit the gate. Returned and went with a Crown 309 NHM. Difference is orders of magnitude better than this trash and is amazing for Tekken Mishimas.

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted to love this stick. It has a very premium feel. From the case that it came in to all the accessories needed, it's definitely worth the price. I even bought the qanba chrome silent buttons to match it! However, I noticed that they're are miss inputs. If I flick it back (left), I get an additional forward (right) input. If you're playing tekken, you'll know this is bad. Moving forward causes you to take damage. Another thing is it's not picking up the UP+FORWARD. It can go forward, it can go up, but not both! Again, bad for fighting games that require such input. I tried changing springs, restricting gate (square, octagon, circle). Nothing helped. Not sure if I just got a bad item and I don't qanba spend another $50 to test that theory!I was so disappointed being that this is twice as expensive as a sanwa. I love that it's silent but I need it to be precise. I had to switch back to the stock "clicky" qanba for my drone 2. If you're playing games that don't require precision so much, this is perfect. Otherwise, I don't recommend it.

If you tap any direction on this stick and let go to return to neutral, it WILL spring back and tap the opposite direction. I tried both other tension springs (which are both heavier) and they all have the same issue.I suppose I will point out that it's easy to install, comes with square, circle, and octagonal gate options as well as two heavier springs. So there are a lot of nice features for the hardware and it IS silent, but this stick is not suitable for fighting games. Maybe if you play other arcade games that don't require precise inputs this would be worth it. I will be getting a refund.

Silent, responsive, and huge noticable differences. Some might say otherwise but if you want higher tension you can easily add a spring to it. Quality stick overall, Qanba does a good job.

I bought this for marvel vs capcom 3 a month ago and I'm not disappointed. The only modifications I did was adding a 4lb tension spring. The switches aren't clicky at all so it's really quiet.This is my favorite japanese style lever so far

Muy bonita la palanca eh me gusta mucho

decent but unsure as i find it doesnt have any feedback to my hand like tension wise on other sticks before you get the click you can feel the tension in your hand so you know you got the input this is silent and has no difference in presssure applied so i find i grind off the gate alotim currently using octagonal with 2.0 heavy spring atm but will go back to square as i grind off the gate less, it fitted into my qanba dragon no problems, i pllay tekken only. KING OP!

Buen producto pero para mí sanwa es mejor lo compre para probar y no quede. Conforme no volvería a comprarlo siento poco retraso en comparación con sanwa
