1. Maybe change the top

   For context, I am used to crab-arm inducing American style levers by IL. Going to a short-throw lever was quite a change.
   
   Something that was immediately apparent upon installation is how little effort (comparatively) it takes to move. I can typically place just my thumb on top and nudge it.
   
   The Pro version's octagonal gate works well for my play style (of having no gate at all). Both the precision and even pressure of the lever action are on point. I was able to hit PB scores in Primal Rage (shut up, I love that game).
   
   What I don't love is the bullet top that comes with it. You'd think it's a mixup of a ball and a bat, but it isn't. First, the pictures don't really capture scale well, so it looks chonkier than it is. I use the 'rim' of the top pretty frequently, and that gets real uncomfortable. I ordered an aluminum bat to take its place, and that is much better for me.
   
   In summation, I think it's the polar opposite to my IL Eurostick, which has a long throw and heavy resistance, but loose precision. The short throw of the Nobi has me trying to pull it farther than you need to, but the buttery smooth action and sharp-as-a-knife precision make some of the more complicated motions dead simple. The top may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's an easy thing to swap out. If you need to speed up your motions or have trouble with specific movements, the Nobi Pro could be your next lever.

2. Amazing J lever, probably the best out there

   This lever has a really good feel to it. Nice click, moves very smoothly, and returns to neutral fast. The gate takes a bit of adjusting to, regardless if you came from octo or square. It's somewhat an octo gate in which the distance from 4 to 1/7 and 6 to 3/8 is farther than the distance from 2 to 1/3 and 8 to 7/9 is. Doesn't mess with quarter circles or half circles too much, dp it might a little, but the real kicker is blocking. If you're blocking, swapping from low to high block may feel strange because the distance from 4 to 1 is extra far, and you may not hit 1 on occasion. It doesn't take long to adjust to though, and ends up being an amazing lever once you give it enough time. I have heard some people mention that it ends up with a lot of wobble, but I personally never experienced this. The ability to swap your top/dustwasher without taking your stick apart is also greatly appreciated. Unknown on Apr 27th 2022

3. Incredible Stick

   Seimitsu makes great products, I am really happy I got this stick. Worlds better than Hori's Hayabusa stick, and I like it more than Sanwa JLF sticks too. The knob is lighter weight than I expected, but very comfortable. The bullet knob is also darker colour than what online photos show it as, very dark gun metal grey. The clicks from it's switches are loud, but overall it feels less "mushy" than a Hayabusa stick. Highly recommend this stick, it surpassed my expectations! Isaac on Oct 23rd 2021

4. Lever of the GODS (Nobi)

   I tried so many levers through out the years, Koreans and Japanese you name it. This is by far the most optimal and satisfying feeling out of the box. Just example, If Sanwa JLF is Toyota Corolla then this is Nissan GTR. Chipp Zan on Jun 24th 2021
