Title: Did Hanano Joystick send me the wrong joystick?
Post by: Gavica on February 19, 2007, 11:39:48 am
So today my Hanano Joystick arrives.

Here is a picture of what I was supposedly buying, the Hanano Joystick SE:

Now here is a picture of what I actually got:

My thoughts (from looking at it):

+ I like that it came with the trackball, that saved me probably like $60 of buying one separate and lookes wider that pictured so might be more comfortable for 2 players.

- I didnt like that the look was very simple, it was not a nice purple with the logo and colored buttoms on the side as the website picture it, just a plian black finish? that dissapointed me.

You got a free trackball...

I'm not sure what the problem is?

Consider it a free upgrade. I think the black ultimately looks better than the purple anyway. Oh, and free trackball? Score!

no problem at all, just wondering if this a different model. Because I even saw a video review and it looked just like the one the website.

Be happy. What you got is worth alot more than a standard SE model.   If you still want color you can measure it out and order a custom CP overlay from mamemarquees in any color or style you want and still be many dollars ahead.  

I am sure someone would trade you a regular SE if that is what you really want.

Lots of people use 7 button layouts... makes it compatible with Street Fighter style games as well as Neo Geo...  the extra two on player one side looks like admin buttons?

For trackball? When you play on games where required is joystick and trackball. You move using joystick with left hand. Trackball (for pointer) and buttons (fire) are for right hand.
