Introduction

- Shiokenstar
- WASD
- Noir
- Sega 2P
- Vewlix extended
- Hitstick
- Mixup
- WASD + up
- Antagonist
Performance
The 4TW can fit Sanwa parts that are known for their responsivity and durability. The case is weighty, so it should not slide around during play. Its edges should not irritate your wrists.
The panel should not flex when your palms rest on it during play. Speaking of which, the size is comfortable for both desk and lap play. Furthermore, there are 0.16″ EVA foam cushions at the bottom.
Hardware
Assembling the 4TW should be easy for both veterans and newcomers. If you order the case alone, here are some important details:
- 24 & 30 mm snap-in or screw-in buttons are compatible.
- Japanese levers with flat mounting plates are compatible.
- Korean levers with short collars are compatible.
- 24 mm Neutrik USB A-to-B ports are compatible.
- Mounting holes for Brook PCBs and similar innovations are included.
Those who prefer a 35.1 mm hole on the top cover for a full-collar Korean lever can tell that to jonyfraze.
