Qanba Titan Arcade Stick Review: Solid New PS5 Stick But What's the Catc... Cost?
After using the Titan for a couple of months, taking it to locals and other events, here are my thoughts on it. This goes over aspects such as design, latency analysis, and even the elephant in the room: price.
Thank you to Qanba USA for providing me the Titan but also the Drone 2 and Obsidian 2 for review! The review for the latter two is coming soon!

PS4 Controller Compatibility On PS5 Part 2: Some PS5 Games Even Block Arcade Sticks?!

    Shame you didn’t put out the reviews for the other two sticks. This is by far the best review for the Titan on CZcams. Was debating between this and the Obsidian 2, and went with the latter basically because it looked more premium. But the Titan looks really comfortable, from both a size and weight perspective, and from the stick and button placement.

    The original stick is fine. Lol if you play at the actual arcade the sticks are mushy as well as the buttons. Do people think when they mod these that they are getting closer to an arcade experience or it's just some competitive advantage? Could even just be down to cosmetics, I suppose.

    Wonderful little video. I’ve since picked one of these up and wow the quality is simply great. It’s also a bit more compatible than I thought it would be. In addition to the two Astro City Mini units I have it works great on my Megadrive Mini 2 and Evercade VS. The arcade titles on the VS make this stick really good value. Shame I can’t use it with modern consoles though.

  • @zakutenakazumiya1516

    I still personally believe that at this price point, the Qanba Gravity Buttons and Lever should come with it by default on this and the Obsidian 2. If the Obsi 2 drops to like 250, then it might be fine. Overall, I'm going to stick to my Hori stick until the need for a true PS5 stick becomes urgent. Maybe Tekken 8 could be that? We'll see

    Just got this arcade stick and man, I love the spacing between the lever and the buttons. Very comfortable arcade stick. I really think it's should be the new standard. Or maybe, there should be a new arcade stick that gives you the option to move your lever away from the buttons in different length. & as always, great in depth review man. Your'e the only reviewer in youtube who does the latency part.

    • @neko_samurai
      @neko_samurai Před měsícem

      ⁠@@george.js9090This is six months old so you probably already made your choice, but the Victrix and Qanba Titan use the same Sanwa parts, so choosing between the two goes down to whether you prefer the extended layout and light weight of the Titan vs the aluminum sheen of the Victrix. Oh, and the price. The Titan is 2/3 the price of the Victrix.
