How the hell can we tell you if it's worth it or not when we don't know what kind of joystick you're talking about.

iono why everyone fucking loves hrap. I mean it's a nice base and shit, but if he can get a nice big sturdy base that can be EASILY modded via qds rather than haviing to replace the PCB and solder more shit like you would for HRAP (i'm kinda assuming here that the hrap mod is the same as the t5 one since they are virtually the same stick) why not go for it. Buying a stick and modding it usually means you're buying the case in which case why not go for the easier and cheaper one to mod. This is me speculating that hrap would more expensive and more time consuming. I know everyone bags on shit like x-arcade, but iono why, cuz honestly although the stock stick fucking sucks, it's easy as shit to mod. Like I told my frd in one aim conversation how to mod it. What's the point in bothering with Hrap epecially if the person doens't even want a jap stick.

Is it the button layout the reason why it sucks so badly? The thing is that I like the bat top ac sticks.

On HRAP the stick is already a sanwa so you dont have to swap it. The only things you really have to swap are the buttons because they are not sanwas. Most people dont instantly swap the buttons. They wait till they need too. With the SFAC stick putting in happ parts are easy but putting sanwas require a little more work. So if you prefer japanese parts HRAP is the way to go because you get a good base plus a stick. If you want a HAPP stick then the SFAC will do though I am of the opinion that your are better off building your own case for any sticks.

I have two SFA sticks, but one is still MISB. I really like the stick, though I haven't had a ton of experience with other joysticks. I rarely ever feel like I was unable to do something because of the stick. I also like how it weighs 40 pounds, and the artwork is great, though better suited for Alpha 3.

but why do a lotta people switch the sanwa stick to a seimitsu stick??
is there a difference?! i play 3rd stike would a seimitsu stick be better then a sanwa stick for playing 3rd stike??
i know that the second version of HRAP1 can't change the stick but what about the buttons?!

I have all 3 types of sticks. This is how I rank them Semitsu > Sanwa > Happs for third strike. Many people will disagree with me but this is my preference. Sanwas are just as good as semitsu the only reason that I prefer the semitsu is because the stick has a shorter shaft and because the buttons are not as sensitive as sanwas. In the end it all comes down to preference.
