theres quite a market for exchangable buttons and other parts for sticks, if only because they're kind of a consumable item (by which i mean they can wear out and need to be changed). i have had a hori rap 4 for several years, and the little tabs on the buttons that hold the plunger in broke off on 3 of my buttons (i play kof15 thankfully, which only needs 4 buttons), so i bought new buttons. i bought sanwa buttons tho, gamerfinger buttons are insanely expensive, i bought a whole set of 8 sanwa buttons for the price of 2 gamerfinger buttons
don't order on the main website. they ripped me off. I ordered a bunch of buttons which cost a lot of money and I never got my order. there's no way to get in contact with them.
@@KleptoFG sorry it took so long. Just make sure you order from a reputable reseller (Paradise Arcade, Arcade Shock, etc) and not from the main website. Also make note of your credit card/payment methods refund policy and make sure to get a refund before the time limit is up. Keep in mind too that GF buttons aren't the only game in town anymore there are other brands that are making keyswitch buttons now so you might just go with them instead. I'm very happy with my Crown/Samducksa Silent Cherry buttons. And besides that I hear good things about Qanba Gravity Buttons.
I just ordered parts to build my first controller and impulsively bought purple gamer fingers off Amazon (they are in stock currently for a few of their basic colors) and I’m glad to hear I didn’t make a mistake. $98 for a set of main buttons is a bit wild but they are by far the best looking buttons I’ve seen and apparently the best performance wise
Nice, just check that they actually have cherry mx speed silvers in them 😅😅 You should be fine though as I think the seller is a reputable seller from China (genuine)
@@imortalXsoul I actually have the box built now. It’s on my channel background as well as a thumbnail in one of my last videos if you wanna take a peak. Unfortunately it got blocked by Microsoft so I can’t use it for right now until I get an adapter so it’s just a nice shelf piece atm 💀
I got both. The material is better on Qanba, it looks and feels really nice. Gamerfinger looks cheap, the plastic is a bit awkward, specially in the body. However, I do feel like Gamerfinger is more consistent. There is one thing I don't like in both: the spring resonate if you just snap or double tap it.
I've been using gamer finger buttons since 2018. Ran me 80 bucks for 10 buttons. I might order some colored ones. They didn't have them when I first bought them.
Damn I got a set of 8 gamer fingers about 4-5 years ago for like €50 sent to my house in the uk, didn’t realise they’ve gone up so much, I’ve just taken 6 of them out of my mixbox actually for Sanwas with silencer pads because the sanwas respond quicker and match my custom design, maybe I should sell the whole set for €100 😂
Thanks for the video and letting people know that getting those buttons are still possible thru istmall. Recently bought a victrix pro fs 12 and wanted these buttons really badly since i am also in the custom keyboard hobby lol... Wanted to throw some long pole linear switches in them for faster bottom out. Just couldn't find them even on akecon, so thanks again!!!
no problem, yeah they are extremely hard to find and even in IST they’re always sold out… I think the demand has calmed down now and they’re readily available at least at the time of this message 🤝🏽
Very nice and informative video. Was planning on getting a new lever and buttons for tekken 8 and was thinking about the crown 202s, gamerfingers and the gravity KS. Went with the gravity KS in the end since I ordered them yesterday (hopefully they get here before the 26th lol). I am using the standard Hayabusas in my hori stick rn and I don’t like them at all and they are also super loud. And I hate that (I also have silent red switches on my keyboard lol). so the crown was not an option anymore since I have seen alot of people say it’s still loud even with the silenced version and also heard alot of people say it feels extremely mushy with the silencing pad in there. I will be ordering the lever on ISTMall soon. The gamerfingers look absolutely beautiful but man they are definitely not a cheap option haha. Also the fact that the 30mm red buttons are completely sold out is a true bummer since im going for a red build. Thanks for the video!
Absolute brilliant video mate, very informative, well explained,, GF are no.1, what would be your pick of crown v quanba gravity, purely performance not sound ? keep up the good work thanks Chris.
probably crown because i prefer the speed silvers but they’re loud and qanbas are easier on the fingers to press because of the padding insane so it’s a tie in my book. Purely for inputs… crown 👌🏽
@@imortalXsoula whole set of the crystal border snap-ins in light blue for a hitbox + a few extras. ( I had to use snap-ins cuz the victrix leverless is kinda notorious for not playing nice with screw-ins)
I got the delivery after the initial wow period I noticed that though very nice they have a good amount of spring ping. Sadly I couldnt unhear once i noticed it. As of writing this I just lubed the switches now they're better than ever. Overall im very satisfied with the purchase I might get some more once they get a restock of other colors im looking for.
@@bigjb2170 yeah they do have a bit, but the quietest button on the market as far as raw sound goes! Interesting to know that you lubed them. What lube did you use for it?
So I'm just now looking into gamer fingers, my hitbox has a mix of crown/samducksa for directionals and the default that they came with for the attack buttons. But I was thinking of buying them now from Istmall from what I have read from the comments here and elsewhere. I have a question of the quantity of the purchase, I feel like an idiot looking at em, is it 1 singular button for 9.50? How much does it come with for 9.50? 9.50 for just 1 sounds insane to me. So if you've bought from them, I'd like some clarity. I was thinking of getting a handful of 1 specific color, and their prices just baffle me idk. Hopefully I hear some feedback asap. If that's the case I might have to settle with focusattack, cause the amount I want is damn near going over $100+ hoping to spend under $80.
yes, it’s 9.50 for one button and nothing else. But they are top of the range buttons. Edit: my order was $150 including shipping and a few extra back up buttons etc
@@imortalXsoul thank you for the swift response, wasn't sure I'd get one as I was currently about to ask and possibly get flamed by reddit,(lol) saved me from that.. But sheesh I was scared of that and might have to settle with focusattack. I'll take your word for it being worth the price(I hear extremely positive reviews about em and also heard that gamerfinger website has ghosted the fgc I do not know if they are back or not), just unfortunate that I have to avoid spending over what I have planned. (getting artwork done on top of that too) Again thanks for your answer & the save. lmao subbed.
@@imortalXsoul because I seen snap ins on IST and deciding on if theyr worth it. I never really modded anything besides my lever and this was a pain in the ass on its own and I dont wanna spend like 100 bucks on buttons that might break. Are they really worth it cause the screw ins all seem to be sold out. thx in adv and great review btw
Is it still hard to get these? I found their website and all of the products say they are in stock. What makes it so difficult to get your hands on them?
@@imortalXsoul thank you great video. Gamer finger just filled my order, but I had problems because they didn’t ship to most countries after covid. Thanks again.
I didn't know these are an actual thing. I understand a whole arcade stick, but this is on another level. Good stuff.

spring resonance is noticeable in both agreed, i think gamer fingers look infinitely nicer but each to their own

try more buttons like the tokido hitbox buttons
what buttons are they?

Is it still hard to get these? I found their website and all of the products say they are in stock. What makes it so difficult to get your hands on them?
dont order from there. They dont ship or respond... you need to get them from Korean or Japanese websites and theyre expensive and always sold out
@imortalXsoul Thank you. Looks like I'm getting the Qanba Gravity buttons instead! At least you can get your hands on um!
Where'd or howd'd you get your obsidian conversion?
it’s called ez obsidian mod kit or something like that
@@imortalXsoul do you have a link by chance? Id really appreciate it. Can’t find it anywhere
How durable are these buttons? I hit my buttons pretty hard and i dont want to replace buttons all the time.
if you use sanwa that’s probably why… these buttons use mechanical switches that last a long time and the switches are replaceable
@imortalXsoul thanks. I haven't had to replace my sanwa buttons yet but gamer finger buttons look cool so I wanna try them at some point
If your switches broke, you really just need to replace the switches, not the whole button and those are cheap @@GNRGNRGNRGNRGNR
Were you able to get them shipped to the United States? And what website did you order from?
I’m from the UK, I ordered them from IST MALL - the website shown in the video. I’m sure they do ship to the USA though so you’ll be good

in person that's not what i hear tbh, gfs are the quietest by far for me
