Did you play MK9 with it or a Capcom title? If so how was it with MK9, any short comings?Ive got a dual system one on backorder. Hoping they get the boards for em soon. Got to mess around with one the other day, though, holy hell they're badass!

Awwwwwwwww shit. That takes me back. B.F.G. FTW!That's how I've done it since DOOM on pc.
This is just from browsing in the lizard lick link http://www.lizardlick.com/Sanwa-Pushbuttons_c_152.html. There are 24mm buttons there, but I'm not sure where you are ordering from and what trouble there would be with that.I wanna build one myself. Only problem im having is to find the 24mm on this third world country.
I do have an enquiry regarding enhaced moves...have no idea where to put what.
SF layout. Just curious since I've never used a proper stick before.This is just from browsing in the lizard lick link http://www.lizardlick.com/Sanwa-Pushbuttons_c_152.html. There are 24mm buttons there, but I'm not sure where you are ordering from and what trouble there would be with that.
About your question about enhanced moves, are you asking for opinions on if to use a classic MK style button layout or SF? I guess I'm not sure what you are asking.
Hey Beef, would you mind doing a review once you get? This appeals to me because I work on computers, so I have no problems using both hands to hit some buttons.Mk9. Overall it was pretty sweet, however, I could see where its not for everyone. Biggest thing I see having to get used to is obviously the directions, and the coordination between the digits on both hands.(dbf motion is a little weird) But I only played a little with it so I can only say so much. It is in a sf layout on the right side, so that's pretty sweet, but again, will take some practice and experimentation with presets till I find what's most comfortable. Overall, as an old school PC CounterStrike/Team Fortress guy, and musician, it just felt right to me. Best advice I can give is to try a keyboard out and see how IT feels. If you turn out to dig that input style, i say go for it.
Side note, gonna be changing my order to the ps3 only version so I can get it sooner. When I do, I will put up some videos of it in action once I'm up to speed with it.

I'll will do a full review/video thread, that's when I Ever do get it. Still have yet to hear back as to whether its ready or not. But yall will be the first to know. Anyone know if these guys are on TYM? would like to chat with em about the ps3 versions availability.Hey Beef, would you mind doing a review once you get?

I'll just leave this here...
It's pretty good. I like being able to duck and use the L/R movements easily. You can be pretty deceptive. The over-all control is definitely more precise and dashing is great, too. You can go across the entire screen in half of a second if you couple a dash with his Elbow Dash.I think there's another one like yours in the Stick Thread. So how od you like this? Easier to dial the movements over using a stick?
16 buttons for $22? I gotta see that.The greens are left/down/right/up. The group of for are attacks - 3214. The bottom red is switch-stance/run and the far right button is block. I figured if I'm gonna mess with the layout of the stick, I might as well experiment with the entire thing. It works pretty good once you get used to it. It's really nice in MKII and UMK3 when you're using Liu and Jax cause you can easily hold LK with your pinky. Being able to do ducking left/right movements is really nice in MK9, especially with Reptile.
Oh, and they're 24mm. Got like 16 buttons from some dude on eBay for $22.
He had them up for $25 plus $5 shipping and when nobody bid on it, he relisted them for $20 plus $5 shipping. Sent him a message for $20 shipped and he countered with the $18 plus $5 shipping. Was several months ago, so the auction isn't viewable anymore. I think it was 14 buttons, too.16 buttons for $22? I gotta see that.
