USB/PS3 SF arcade stick $54 on dealextreme.com

That stick actually looks very nice o_O. I did a quick google search and seems that Qanba makes sticks with sanwa parts in it but they usually cost around $100-$200. If I didn't have a FS3 already I would order this one.

actually I found the website for this stick:

From the description it has sanwa 8ways stick (Octagon gate?), and sanwa push button. Great price for such stick if it's true. If someone can confirm this I might actually get one lol.[FONT=宋体]

I'm pretty sure the DealExtreme stick is not Sanwa. If you look at the DealExtreme stick, it has all red buttons. The same stick can be found on Qanba's website. It mentions nothing of Sanwa parts:

Now, there is another stick on Qanba's website that looks similar but, it has green and pink buttons. That is made of all Sanwa parts.

The link luan87us posted above is for the Sanwa Qanba stick. That can also be found on Qanba's website.

Once again, the DealExtreme one is for the non-Sanwa stick.
 
I bought one of the sticks and the parts are definitely not Sanwa. The buttons are ok, but I replaced them and they were drop-in replacement with real Sanwa buttons and I like their feel a little more.

The stock joystick was horrible and I replaced it with a Sanwa JLF-TP-8T which gives a major performance difference.

If you are going to buy this expect to spend another $30 or so for a replacement stick. The case and control board work nice, the buttons are passable, but the stick sucks.

I have a Youtube video of the upgrade process if anyone is interested in seeing what is involved before they take the drive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxG7EZscVrk&feature=PlayList&p=662BEB6094D4BED8&index=0&playnext=1
