Obsidian

Hello, I ordered the Qanba Obsidian and I have to say that this is my favorite fightstick. My fightstick journey started with Street Fighter V. I decided to challenge myself by ordering the TE2+ and learn how to play with it. I have been a pad player for years, so this was quite an adjustment. After months of training, I still could not come close to what I was with the pad. Then I moved to the Hori Real Arcade Pro. The hayabusa buttons felt nice, but after a couple of months I knew it would not be my main stick. From there, I purchased the Razor Panthera. It felt really good and after months of training, I realized that this would be my training stick. I learned all the motions and movements to build up as much muscle memory as I could, but I knew that this would not be my main stick. After doing more research to find my main stick, Qanba kept coming up. Review after review, the general consensus was that this was a great stick. I narrowed it down to the Qanba and the Victrix Pro FS. I decided to go with the Qanba Obsidian and after 20 minutes using it, I realized that I have found my main stick. It feels great and natural if that makes sense. What I don't understand is that 2 of the sticks that I own have all Sanwa parts, but the Obsidian feels superior. Even down to execution. With the other sticks, I could only pull off certain combos 4 out of 10 times. With the Obsidian, it is 8-9 times out of 10. I cannot express enough how good this stick feels. This might be overkill, but I am thinking of getting the Dragon as well. Sorry for the long story, but I just felt compelled to tell anyone and everyone who are in search for a great fightstick.                                                                                                                                                                 Tommy Godbold                                                                                                                                                                 Happy Obsidian Owner

works well right out of the box

Fantastic product! Plays like a dream!

The parts are good, and the construction is solid. The only flaw is that it's too hard to open and modify. It's not meant for modding, but the ability to make simple changes like switching out the stick gating, or skinning the pad would have been great.

Had some questions about the order and got a prompt response from Qanba. Using the obsidian feels so good and I highly recommend. Would easily order another Qanba product again.

Fantastic fight stick. Everything from the chassis to the buttons feels high-quality. Undoubtedly the best controller I have ever purchased.

My first high grade quality arcade stick and it is amazing. Feels great, sounds great, and looks great. Easy to use all you have to do is plug into your PS4 or PC and works right out of the box.

My first stick, feels great and immediately helped inputs and commands. Build quality is awesome and weighty.

It looks awesome and feels really comfortable for me having played on a razer panthera evo in the past and I have to say I like obsidian much better.
