I'm pretty sure they was around before X-arcade, who then just copied the CP design.

Did you mean to use the word "was" instead of "were?"

They were. X-Arcade didn't just "copy" the design though, Hanaho assisted them with it. It was a legit, mutual business deal if I recall correctly.

I own both of the sticks, the hanaho hot rod has far better quality... the x-arcade is more versatile. My showcase cabinet was also created by Hanaho. Earlier this year a friend of mine and I gave hanaho a call to see if they still made showcase cabinets... but alas, no. They were still around though... at least... several months ago that is =/ Even when their website was up they never updated the damn thing.

I own a hotrod,  it was my first CP.

For the money,  it was great.  Generally very good quality.  Only problem was,  from the day I got it,  the purple overlay was bubbled.

Still have it though,  even though one joystick and a few buttons are dead,  and it's using an old PS2 pass-through cable.  Someday I may opt to refurbish it with modern equipment...

Ahn-hahn. I felt there might've been more to things than my speculation gave.
