Excellent Stick - Players with Large Hands Beware
4 Stars
Excellent Stick - Players with Large Hands Beware
This is my first time buying a high end Hori stick. I've used Hori sticks in the past (Fighting stick 3 is what I had before), and have really liked them - even preferring it to the earlier Mad Catz sticks. This stick is definitely a step up from what I had.Design-wise, I love it. It's elegant, and the conservative yet cool looking all at the same time. The stick has some heft to it as well, which is a good thing. I don't have to worry about it slipping due to the rubber pads attached to the bottom of the stick (which also minimizes the shock of cold metal touching your skin if using it in your lap). Also, because it's wider than my previous stick, I don't have to strain to hold it in place when in my lap (I'm a fairly large and tall person)The Hyabusa stick is super responsive and easy to use. It has more give than the Fighting Stick 3, so it requires less force to execute moves. I'm a novice arcade stick user and so I had to spend a few hours trying to get used to it and finally got comfortable with my execution using this stick. There's just one small problem:This thing hurts my hand to use.The reason it hurts my hand because of how close the stick is to the bottom of the base. The edge of the base falls right in the middle of the back of my hand and it actually made my hand sore after using it for several hours.If there were more room for my entire hand to rest on the base, I would have no complaints at all about this stick, but that's a deal breaker for me. it's unfortunate because I really like this stick otherwise. Also, I may be a special case because of the size of my hands and the way I hold the stick, but for 150 bucks, I need to be comfortable while playing.Overall, the RAP 4 Kai is really nice and I would recommend it unless you have large hands. From what I've seen, the newer MadCatz sticks have more space between the stick and the bottom of the base, so I'll probably check them out.

The stick came spotless and with a hayabusa lever but I quickly changed it out for a Crown 309 MJ korean lever. Buttons are very clicky and responsive. Awesome first stick and great for Tekken as well (my preferred game). Very affordable and high quality for a mid range stick. Great for beginners.

Reviewed in Mexico on September 5, 2020
Este fue el primer arcade stick que probé y superó por mucho mis expectativas. No sabía muy bien que esperar de el pero cuando lo recibí me sorprendió el tamaño, me dió la impresión de ser más grande y más pesado de lo que imaginaba por videos que vi. Como muchos dicen, sus botones son sensibles y reaccionan bien, y su forma frontal inclinada es muy comoda para apoyar la mano sin que sea cansado. Había visto muchas reseñas que critican su palanca de ser muy suelta pero como primer arcade stick que tuve realmente no noté que así fuera, asi que aún hasta ahora eso no es problema para mí (llevo apenas cerca de un mes con el y después de el ya probé otros sanwa). También vi reseñas que recomiendan un restrictor octagonal pero nuevamente, como primer arcade stick no me pareció que fuera problema tener cuadrado.
De su calidad en general me gustó mucho, se siente firme y de muy buena calidad. El único detalle que si veo es que cuando la tapa del cable esta cerrada se llega a mover un poco, pero les aseguro que aunque tiene un poco de movimiento no se abre por ninguna circunstancia, es muy dificil que se abra ya que cierra muy firme.
Lo recomiendo totalmente para quien apenas se vaya a comprar su primer arcade stick y quieran uno que funcione muy bien.
