1. Is bat top

   has just a touch of flash where the tooling comes together but not so much that its an issue. comfortable to hold and manipulate. also fits nicely on my hondas manual shifter. Phillip on Apr 4th 2024

2. Absolute rubbish.

   The cheapest generic chinese battop I could find on aliexpress was manufactured to a higher standard than this. Although to be fair the generic chinese battop was also better than the Qanba American style battop I purchased.
   
   It is that seam across the top. On the Sanwa it is very noticeable, and very annoying. On the generic chinese battop, you can see it, but you can't feel it.
   
   However, ultimately if you are looking for a basic battop the Qanba american style is by far the the best of the three imo. Because the generic chinese battop is absolutely puny.in size. The Qanba is the largest of the three, and while you can feel the seam if you are trying, it isn't noticeable during gameplay.
   
   Honestly shocked with how bad the manufacturing and/or quality control is at Sanwa, get the Qanba. Unfortunately focusattack doesn't sell the Qanba, you have to order from their international site and wait for shipping from china. But this thing is so bad it is worth it. Unknown on Nov 28th 2023

3. Matte Battop Enthusiast

   Matte finish on the Sanwa Battop is smooth and feels good in the hand. This battop sits slightly lower than Crown and other battops. A great option if you want more grip than a top with a gloss finish.

4. Always available

   My second battop and it is the same exact one I already have. Its great to have the same setup for a home stick and the one you take with you for travel. No complaints. Joseph on Jul 27th 2020

5. Needed for Tekken

   I have seen all the pros who play Tekken and they use battops. This gives me more maneuverability in Tekken and soul calibur along with control. The balltops I use for 2d fighting games. Just being able to pull off inputs with the palm of your hand and finger tips. It is a totally different feeling compared to a balltop. Joseph on May 28th 2020

6. Plagiarizing Reviews.. and no one is mad

   There’s nothing more that I can add onto the review that hasn’t been said by previous buyers. I can literally take one sentence from every positive review to form my review. If I had to make an original sentence it’d be: the matte finish is everything I expected and more. GoHomeGohan on Jan 25th 2020

7. Definitely Try It Out

   I was practicing with my panthera’s ball top for a few weeks, but read you should experiment with both the battop and ball top to see which one you really like. At first it felt a little awkward, but after a few days with it, I now prefer it over the ball top. I like being able to grip it with my whole hand, which just feels more intuitive to me. The matte finish is also a nice touch for keeping a better grip on it. It does accidentally spin off when I’m practicing Korean back dashes in Tekken, but I probably just need to grip it better. Other than that, I love it. I definitely recommend experimenting with it for at least a week to see if it fits you. Jose on Jun 13th 2019

8. High Quality

   This product has a good texture and seems durable, and I can easily recommend this product. The only thing anyone buying should note is that it is more likely heavier than the stock ball on your arcade stick which will make the spring feel weaker. Not everyone would agree but I think you should buy a 4lb spring for your stick if you plan on using this. Isaac on May 1st 2019

9. Feels Great

   I used this on my pencil case Dreamcast stick and it feels great, and the adapter goes easily on my JLF. Been playing 3S on Balltop for years, so it'll take awhile to get used to, but its nice and at home with Marvel 2. Mr. Bussass on Feb 15th 2019

10. Nice Feel

    I enjoy this better than the shiny ball top as my hands get sweaty the matte textured feel still allows me to keep my grip. Angel B on Jul 20th 2018
