yo! love the video, especially you putting the lever together on the site, so i can just look at this video as a semi checklist when I'm ready to get the best lever
Love the reviews man, contain pretty much every piece of information I could want to inform my decision to get a lever or not. Also those turquoise gamerfinger buttons look sick as hell. Also yeah the IST pink 32a grommet was by far my favourite, can't believe they discontinued it.
For those looking to order his setup, ask for the black body instead of the white body and any other replacement parts. You'll pay the difference and get the yellow fanta grommet.
As a controller player I wouldn't even know where to begin to think about getting a custom lever and case. So much variety! And I'd definitely want to get hands on before committing anything but damn the custom scene in gaming is off the charts crazy, for both sticks and controllers.
Hey, Best lever review ever seen ! Congrats Quick questions : 1. You said you had a Fujin, what do you think is the major differences between both levers ? (I've got a Fujin V3 stock) 2. Did you have to pay customs for it ? Shipping is 46 dollars for my country but i don't know about the duty fees (EU). 3. Do you think it's worth it to buy the golden fanta + the black parts ? Or just the black fanta setup directly. 4. Last but not least, will the new GL Lever work in it ? Thanks again and keep going your reviews are amazing ( and execution as well!!!).
1. I don't like the Fujin V3, Fujin has huge throw and it's stiff, also switches can feel mushy at times. 2. No customs charges but seems to be random whether you get charged 3. You can't buy the black fanta as a complete lever, you have to buy individual parts to build it. If you wait until next year, there will be a black fanta available to purchase as a full build. 4. I'm not sure I understand the question. The new GL shafts work yeah Thank you!
i like this setup but it is very hard do 3,4 wavedash/sec with it from p1 side. no doubt, hard setups are good for high execution combos.. black base+ black circular collar+ yellow silicone+13.5mm core+ soft spring+ 16.5mm actuator and 15.5mm spacing is best IMO. and be careful not to use a weighted top. always use a hollow top with hard setups.
@@imortalXsoul my personal setup is totally different (a little close to standard GL setup). but IMO using bigger spacing with a smaller actuator is causing the loss of benefits of silicone push back.
Sent this video in to the service team and said this was the stick combo I was after! Followed the steps, and they offered me a hybrid i can note out which parts to change to bring the price down. Was getting pricey at around $200 before shipping to the UK lol
oh naw you can build my lever with a similar grommet for $170 and that's if you get a golden lever topper, you can get a regular topper half the price or use one of your own which drops the price to $150! Still expensive though but worth every penny, seriously. LMAO
@imortalXsoul thanks for the tip, I don't have any other parts myself to add or save so it will be an investment. I probably should of added I put a few different grommets to try. I will go for the GL hybrid option and request the bits that can be swapped over to black parts where I can. Having watched all your videos I'm pretty set to get this setup you have. Great videos BTW it really helps newer ppl decide on sticks.
I love your reviews, could you do one of the Crown Shinsun (as you know in EU the Sanjucks, ASI, etc are too expensive due to taxes, import and shipping)? I think it's an interesting stick that can be good for modding and there really isn't much info or professional reviews about it, it's sold as a 2D and 3D FG stick, but with a stiffer grommet it's perfect for 3D like Tekken, it brings the modified collar with squircicle shape and a squircicle gate as well.
Excellent breakdown as always! Btw you ever get that refund on that Fujin aluminum plate? That situation is shambolic and I feel for everyone involved.
I saw from your tweets that you got a Master Lever - since the 9mm shaft is out of stock on the AS Indo site, what shaft length would create a similar throw distance of a standard ML, using the same other parts you showed? I would assume the difference between 9mm and 8.5mm or 9 and 9.5 can't be that much, but just curious. Thanks
Hey man, great video. I'm wondering if you use the V-16-3C26 switches from the sanjuks levers instead of the A6's you have mentioned because they were actually attached on the base you have shown.
They're the same switch, both Omron but have design differences. Performance and actuation force are the same. So putting the sanjuks ones or the A6's doesn't matter. It's the same
@@imortalXsoulOk. i own both versions and my personal feeling is that the A6's actuationpoint is more tactile. the 3c26 feel more smoothen out on that regard.
@@imortalXsoul BTW I heard you talk about the "orange grommet" at the later part of the video. I'm actually waiting for it and might do a setup similar to yours/ulsans hehe, hope there's news soon on the ASIndo discord
Was looking to get a Sanjuks v7 from buttercade but saw your vid pop up. If you had to rank the best Fanta based lever, would you rank the black fanta over v7?
@@thagr813012 absolutely, but it’s the way you spec it! You could easily spec it to feel weird and the V7 would be better but this set up for me is better than V7. V7 still a solid choice though if you don’t want to tinker with parts
All levers can be used for mishimas, there's no such thing as a mishima lever but just playing with it feels great for wavedash and ewgf smoothness because of the ball bearing actuator
Hi, Appreciate the data and information! Big Thanks, one question, now on the ISTMall vebsite there are two Sanjuke V6 Levers, there is one Sanjuke V6 ii? may i know what’s the difference? please share if you have some information, Thanks!!
been watching a lot of your lever reviews for the past couple of days. And I'm actually curious about your mod for your ettoki. I wanna have that kind of mod as well. Is it USB C detachable cable? does it also have PS5 passthrough?
@@suzu500 It’s a USB B to C passthrough and I have a fusion in it so PS5 compatibility although i don’t need it. I use leverless as main controller and they all have either fusions or P5 Plus in them

Fujin 3 clears. But a good close 2nd. Nice video man!
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢 ty!
Knee Lever Neo with the squircle gate clears everything. Best arcade stick lever ever made.
Ehhhh, it's pretty middle of the road for me. Black fanta definitely clears everything imo
@@imortalXsoulreally?? Hmmm…I’ll buy one.
Sanjuks v6 and Coorejam v4 are way ahead of the Neo. The neo is a mid lever at most. Very beginner friendly lever though.
