3 years later in 2024, and I'm on the obsidian 2 for $300 and this is the ONLY video I found on how to remove the stickers and customization. Thank you SOOOO much!!!
Just got my obsidian a week ago on a steal price brand new. I want to change the artwork but kinda don't want to because I love the clean look. Anyways maybe some other time. Thanks for the guide!
Hi dude, I saw in arcadeshock store, a aluminum control panel kit, and I was wondering if that is gonna replace the plexiglass, that glass on the stick is quite uncomfortable to me cause my hands sweat too much
Yo! Thanks for the question! Arcadeshock says "This panel will directly replace the stock plexi. You will use the existing bottom joystick / pushbutton metal panel from your stock Obsidian". This is something I definitely want to try in the future.
Great video sir! Knowing that you prefers the Noir layout. How does the vewlix layout work for you? Would your thumbs collide as I notice the distance between the lever and buttons are closer in the vewlix layout. I really like the Qanba Obsidian, just concerned about the vewlix layout. It’s really expensive for me to mod it into Noir layout as there is no access to it in my region. I can only afford the Qanba obsidian at the moment.
Thank you. Glad you like it. So for me, the distance between the buttons and the lever don't bother me at all. The reason I prefer the noir layout is due to the way the buttons curve. Viewlix has the first 2 buttons a little lower, and the other 6 buttons are in a straight line. To me, the noir button layout feels more comfortable.
If I understand this right, if I'm only changing the buttons and the balltop, I don't have to remove the top cover at all right? Only the bottom cover. Is that correct.
@@Zachary_Sweis awesome thanks. Just got the Pearl today so I'm going to put in the balltop/buttons, and when I get the artwork in a couple of weeks do those with new buttons. This video is super helpful.
having trouble closing the back panel is it just me or is it a bit difficult to put back the panel on update: finally got it to close properly using a brooks converter on xbox works amazingly
It's definitely not just you. It is a little tricky. Honestly you just have to keep working it until everything aligns. As stated, this fight stick was not meant to be customised.
@@Zachary_Sweis yeah thanks man i thought i was just being stupid or something anyways it took literally about 8 tries till i finally got it to slide in properly, unfortunately i have to use sanwa buttons, normally i use gamer finger buut screws on don't fit plus the company went awol so nobody can really get any of those buttons at the moment
Hey man great vid! Thoroughly appreciated the breakdown and showing me what's inside my stick without me having to void warranty lol I just bought my Obsidian and I love it to bits but I have 1 little issue with it, the joystick feels a little too close to the buttons because I have really big hands, any idea if there's a way for me to replace the metal plate inside since that's what determines the position of the joystick? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Unfortunately I do not know if a replacement panel for the Obsidian exists that makes it a Noir layout. I can't find one, anyway. However, the Qanba Pearl is the Noir version of the Obsidian. If all else fails you could add that to your collection, or even find someone to possibly trade with.
Yeah I noticed that the Pearl uses the left half of the stick a lot better, but personally I prefer the viewlix's button layouts. Thanks for replying though! I'll see if I can 3d print it or something, may I know if the metal plate is actually removable? Since you didn't touch it I'm wondering if it's removable or not. If it's removable I might be able to 3d print something out

Hoping for a sale on the Obsidian during EVO this year so I can grab one. Great tutorial! Definitely keeping this video bookmarked.
Did you get it?
I got the same sticks. I appreciate this video man! Going to change out the art work this coming up month too
Hey, thanks!
Thanks. I'm deciding on a stick.
Get a Hitbox
The T-spin is the best 30 bucks I ever spent on my stick.
T-Spin. Is that what the mix box has? WASD setup instead of a lever?
Hey man, thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching.
Is a new plexiglass really needed?
I wanna mod my obsidian 2 but Focus attack is so far from my region
I don't know about the Obsidian 2. But for the original one, yes. A new plexi is needed.

@@Zachary_Sweis great! Thank you for the feedback. Guess I’m going for the obsidian ☺️
Hey man sorry to bother mind sharing a list of the music you used in the video?
No worries, man.
Tekken Tag 1 Intro Theme
Tekken Tag 1 Yoshimitsu Theme
Tekken 4 Touch and Go (Airport Theme)
Tekken 4 Authentic Sky (Rooftop Theme)
So I'll need to buy a new plexi for it? Is the black art attached to the original one?
Exactly.
@@Zachary_Sweis thanks, appreciate the video. I'll finally customize my obsidian.
@@TriFF51 I'm happy to help, thanks for watching!
can i put a seimitsu ls32 in there??
Kunimitsu 👍
Between this and the Panthera Evo, which would you say is your preference?
This, for sure.
If I understand this right, if I'm only changing the buttons and the balltop, I don't have to remove the top cover at all right? Only the bottom cover. Is that correct.
Correct. Just open it from the bottom.

Hello do you know how we can change the led of R L side ?
Unfortunately, I do not know how to do that. Sorry.
does this also apply to the pearl variant? since qanba pearl is just obsidian but with different layout
Exactly the same.
@@Zachary_Sweis thank you
Why some people had 2 or more arcade sticks? I means what's the point??
IDK

Where’s a good site for custom plates?
focusattack.com/custom-etch-plexi-cover-for-qanba-obsidian/
How big does the art work need to be
