Hi there everyone. Occasional lurker, first time poster here.
Finally decided to start looking for a stickless arcade stick so figured I'd come ask some questions and see if I could get some relative feedback/pointed in the right direction.
First question is a twofer! I've seen some triangle and square sanwa buttons (link: http://www.arcadeshop.de/index.php?cPath=79_91&sort=2a&page=2 ) and was curious if they are as reliable/effective/whatevs as the traditional circle buttons I see on most sticks.
My brother is real fond of his Qanba Q4raf so I figure mine should use one as a base as well so guests could have option of stick/less on same box style. I found a site that had a custom panel builder so I could set up a layout shape but it only had circle buttons. Which leads to the next question.
Provided them triangle and square buttons are comparable to the circle ones who/where should I look to commission a Q4 with layout shown but triangle buttons for the directionals (pointed in their appropriate direction and color coordinated like super famicom's abxy) and squares on the input buttons (color coordinated for XBox layout on left 4 and blacks/whites for Bumper/Trigger) on the right? (start/select round buttons)
Last question...How many systems supportable can one realistically get with such a mod? We have ps2, Xbox360, Wii, WiiU, PC, and plan to get XBone, PS3/PS4
(note: image is not on quanba as it was not an option on the site)
