edit: bah, TEs seem to be out of stock...

edit: Apparently they won't ship heavy items outside the UK so this won't work anyway. Apologies all

Vyze

Game were selling TEs for similarly cheap but are also out of stock.

Bah, shouldn't keep my credit card so close to hand at work, just ordered one. Suppose it's marginally better than my Hori EX2 and probably easier to mod.

Talking about the SE here, honestly isn't THAT much better than the EX2. The stick on the one I used wasn't smooth, got caught a bit when doing QCF. Anyway, at least I have a stick for P2 now :cool:

Sagat06

I'm not ragging on you here but the ex2 is pants. I started with it and the buttons are like syrup the joystick is heavy and has a dead feel to it, and when it comes to modding you have to a fecking electrician (or have skinnier fingers than me ). The SE is head and shoulders above it.

The square gate in the SE is what gave it that feel but thats a quick and cheap change if you dont like it.

To be fair I have found milage on the SE varies hugely- mine broke in 2 places in the space of weeks. I don't think it's a clear cut as you make out as other people seem to get good ones that last and last.

I guess I'm just a fanboy :rolleyes::o

MarkMan over at SRK works for Madcatz; he's ensured that the TvC stick (on Wii) and the next iteration of SEs (out for Super, possibly?) will have GOOD Omron switches in the stick.
Dunno if they're making the same change for the buttons, but buttons are cheap.

Mine lasted fine enough with consistent use for a good few months. My buttons were slowly on the way out though.

My light kick button was the 1st to get iffy, would only register every 2nd hit. Just swapped it with one of the black non used buttons.

Next was my medium punch button, got my sanwas before I needed to deal with that though.

The stick on mine remained perfect, but its now a nice sanwa stick

Doom is right though, thats me, but then look at barry, his buttons went, then his stick got mad loose and wonkey , then eventual it died on him.

SE's mod-ability is fantastic though.

Out of stock never mind :pac:

Someday you'll find a way off that pad, someday.

Load of gee, they cancelled my order because they don't ship 'heavy items' outside the UK :mad:

Dreddybajs

Ah, that sucks. Edited the OP to reflect that nobody should bother trying.

It's actually a fairly standard practice apperantly. I couldn't order TEs on Amazon for the same reason. Kept giving out to me about it weighing too much to ship internationally.

Thanks for the heads up Dreddy, I was just gonna buy new buttons and stick as mine are getting very "mushy" but got a new TE instead for not much more!

Dreddybajs

Amazon.co.uk used to not ship sticks to Ireland but that changed months ago, they now ship them no problem.

Nice one man, hope they'll ship to NI for you.

DecentBee

Yeah, but what irks me is they confirmed the order, authorised my credit card and even got as far as the 'packing' stage before suddenly changing the status to cancelled. No explanation until I mailed them.

Dreddybajs

Yeah, that's pretty irritating alright.

Huh. I only tried to order mine about a month ago and was denied. I can indeed do it grand now though. Good stuff.

"thank you for placing your order with Gamestation.

Unfortunately your recent order with Gamestation has been cancelled due to lack of stock."

Assholes!
