Do you need these Sanwa Denshi Japanese arcade buttons on your game controller? These parts are so famous for that authentic arcade feel that they're even used as MIDI controllers!

Would you perform a mod like this on your fight stick?

    1:25 Sanwa buttons have been used in about 85% of arcade cabinets in Japan since around 1993. For the first 3 years they were mostly paired with the Seimitsu LS-32 joystick and after about 1996 pretty much every cabinet (except many SNK cabinets) has had the Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons + Sanwa JLF stick. That doesn't mean they are better than Seimitsu LS-32 + Seimitsu PS-14-GN but that Sanwas were what the arcades were looking for. Simple, suitable for every kind of game and fast to replace (everything but pivot replacement/pivot re-greasing could be done without tools)

    Personally when I play fighting games I tend to play around 3-4 hours and Hayabusa is less straining on my fingers.
  • @Timesteel
    Btw the buttons on the Hori sticks are Hayabusa Buttons, they stopped using the Kuro buttons when the Hrap V came out, you can tell the difference because the hayabusa buttons have the textured feel to them and the Kuro buttons don't.

    Loved the puns and that ending. Keep it up man.
  • I just want to thank you for taking the time and redo the focus and exposure of your camera every time those get off! Looking into arcade sticks for playing Tekken I've only encountered reviewers and DIY'ers that show parts into the camera's lens without regard for the camera's focus so all I'm really seeing is a black blur instead of an electronic part or a manual >.< Really, honestly, thank you for minding your viewers in regard with the camera! (or should I say ありがとうございます?)

    well... now i know that i can change the button by myself. this video was really helpfull. thanks!

    I dunno man. The glossy buttons are actually grippier making double/triple taps harder. Thought I'd like Sanwas better but the Hayabusa's have grown on me. Good job Hori.
  • the sanwa buttons have such a sweet and satisfying feel on depression I replaced my hori rap4 and qanba carbon stick buttons and my madcatz tes+ buttons which were sanwa to begin with but were getting along in age
  • @grasso7312
    For the start button just use hotglue to hold it in place. It will stop it from spinning but if you ever need to replace it you can easily remove the glue. Also, love your stuff!
  • @crazywiener11
    What you find is that as well as being glossy, the sanwa have to be hit more square in the middle. The hayabusa buttons can be hit on the edge
  • @Nowahz
    Those hori buttons are actually "hayabusa" same branding as the stick/lever itself.. the "kuro" buttons are actually glossy, the hayabusa buttons are better than the old kuro coz they dont get stuck and have a lower profile. its nearly similar to sanwa only matte. I dont really like the sanwa much coz they are too sensitive(if you rest your fingers lightly on them they actuate), I preffer seimitsu buttons overall but id take the hayabusa over sanwa otherwise.
  • @Joker-bk5xj
    Dude.. I laughed so hard man. When I modded my hori rap4 kai with sanwa buttons I also dropped them on the floor before I installed them lol.
  • @serpway
    Hayabusa buttons are just as good as sanwa buttons, the hayabusa, feels nicer to me because of the smoother feeling
  • Dude, could you make a video replacing your joystick? I want to see how to do it from a stick connoisseur as yourself. Great vieeo btw 👌
  • @ExTreyu
    "this is how you install a button" smack NOOOOOO LMFAO 😂😂😂
  • For your next mod, try the kowal octopus gate. After that put a heavier spring in with a over sized actuator. It makes a difference.
