i wonder what does SA stand for, it's all Sanwa Parts now!! it cos a little bit more than the original RAP3 tho. Also the two button on the right are removed. On the specs it also saids they have eliminated the L3 R3 button, and moved the L1 L2 to the small panel located at the top left corner.

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

Bleh. Not to mention that your link goes to a "this product does not exist" type page...I'd really be surprised if a new 360 stick DID actually come out, though. We certainly could use one.

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

I think i made a mistake dude, sorry. From the pic it looks like a PS stick to me...look at the buttons legend.

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

Ack, you're right. Meh, getting people's hopes up...

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

I have updated the first post, Hori alos had put out a TFT monitor that fits on top of the X360.

Also wrist pad & Anti-Slip mat for the RAP.

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

Hmm...to get to the real page I think you were attempting to link to, you need to actually go through the "joysticks" link to the left, or just scroll down the main page until you get to the part where they talk about the RAP3 SA. Copypasting the link itself just turns up an error page.

 

Re: RAP3 for Xbox 360

thanks for pointing it out, the link is fixed now

Nin:

At the time the RAP came out for PS2, there were two special models of RAP. Both models were 2000 yens more expensive that the simple RAP.

Anyway, the sticks were called:


Real Arcade Pro SE (Special Edition)
This joysticks was made with Seimitsu parts (as many 2D japanese fighters)





Real Arcade Pro SA (Special Addition)
As we already know, this joystick is 100% Sanwa parts (stick and buttons). But so is the SEGA VSHG and cheaper!!

Well the SA and SE both used the high-end microswitched buttons (OSBF-30RG and PS-14-GX, respectively) and not the normal buttons (OBSF-30 and PS-14-G, respectively) which accounts for some of the extra cost. The VSHG also only has the normal OBSF-30 buttons. That being said, I definitely prefer the VSHG over any of the HRAP line given the cost and benefits.

hmm the vhgs is cheaper though........
