Wrote this on SRK for any one thinking bout this stick I personaly have the Saulabi Online Black Stick and would recomend it to anyone looking for a stick for PC. The first awsome thing is that there is no converter needed so you don't have to worry about delay. That was one of my big fears in deciding on which would be the first real stick I own.
Next is the slanted surface. It's a slightly slanted surface ( not much ) but it makes the stick all the more confertable.
Button layout : I am a pretty big person so my hands are big and I found the layout PERFECT for doing Lariats with Geif.
Stock Stick : the stock stick was decent enough to increase my play ability by a whole lot after macking the switch from pad to stick. My opinion is it is awsome for 360 characters / good for Shotos / but a little to big of a throw for charge characters.
The stick makes NO clicking sound when moved around and has a good amount of resistance
but definetly not enough to rape your hand. I have big hands and I hold it my pinky tucked under and the rest of my fingers wrapped around the stick and it fits in my hand so it reaches the top of my index finger.
Finding Angles : Only problem I've had is to find downback on both sides but not consistently.
Think of it more like during a match I didn't concentrate enough to pull a little more at an angle
and just kinnda relaxdly pulled almost downback and didn.t block. Top corners I have had not a single problem. My prob. with downback is pribably due more to the fact that I hold the stick in my lap in all kinda postions. Like I have my feet kicked up or just stining straight up.
Stock Buttons : I made the mistake of SLAMMING out lariates. My shit arrived March 16th,
Jab button broke on the 26th of March. Keep in mind I was SLAMMING Lariates.
They don't feel stiff or loose. They are responsive enough so that I learned how to Kara cxl and Super cxl in ST with.
Well that is my contribution to your thread brotha. It's more of a personal experience and not as tech savy as your post but I'm new to sticks and the terminology used. I wrote my post this way because when I was trying to decide which stick to buy I wish someone would have wrote a post like this for the "stick noobs"
