“It takes some getting used to. It's good once you're familiar with it.”
Learning the tension and travel of a new lever is part of the experience. Give yourself time to practice with a feel that differs from your previous lever. Quotation translated from Korean.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Check the space. Then make your move.
Check your arcade stick's internal clearance and mounting pattern before installation.
65mmInternal width required
97mmInternal depth required
43mm+Internal height required
Minimum internal clearance. Allow for wiring terminals and check for interference with the bottom panel.
01. Mounting pattern
A mounting pattern compatible with a Japanese Sanwa mounting plate is required. Clearance depends on the case construction and mounting orientation.
02. Lever wiring
MAKESTICK PRO and PRIME use an 8-pin lever cable. Arcade sticks with a 5-pin connector require a suitable 5-pin to 8-pin conversion cable.
03. Mounting screws
Use the short 6 mm screws for standard MAKESTICK PRO and PRIME installation. With an additional 1.5–2 mm acrylic panel, 8 mm screws are recommended.
04. Test after installation
Use the game's input display to check up, down, left, right, diagonals, and the return to neutral. Make sure no moving parts contact the wiring or bottom panel.
Model-specific notes MAKESTICK MINI: mount the plate horizontally; bottom-panel modification is required. MAKESTICK CRYSTAL: compatible with the version that adds 5 mm of case height. Qanba Obsidian 1: compatible. Obsidian 2: interference occurs with the standard bottom panel.
Includes the capsule grip in your selected color, dedicated components, lever body, and product packaging.
