Razer Panthera Evo: Fully Mod-Capable - Sanwa Joystick and Buttons - Internal Storage Compartment - Tournament Arcade Stick for PS4 and PS%

Product Information

The Razer EVO's unique control panel design does not allow for any modifications of button layout or control panel area. This is a much-welcomed touch, as a protruding cord makes for very inconvenient storage with anything. Blank plexi, custom etch plexiand artworkfor the original Panthera are available if you are looking for that model. On the plus side, it has gained the ability to swap the art so if you want something different than the blue triple-headed snake art, you can change that now. It was immediately more comfortable to use, and the quickly stowable USB cable was more convenient than the screw-in cable included in the original Panthera.

Furthermore, I wished the joystick itself is 5mm taller so its easier to hold, especially with big hands like mine. Please note that two common options - button layout and control panel removal - are not present in this service. If you do own the original Panthera, I don’t see a reason as to why you should upgrade, even if the lesser weight is that much more beneficial but if you don’t own one yet, then this is definitely a great choice.

Rotate the screw collar clockwise until the detachable cable is firmly connected to the Razer Panthera. Just like the previous Panthera, there are two switches here as well; one to dictate the joystick’s functions (Dpad, left analog stick, and right analog stick) as well as one to lock the Option and Share / Start and Select buttons. You'll notice that the USB wires are soldered/glued onto the board, and that there are five pins next to next to them. A significant change to the Panthera EVO is that it no longer has Sanwa buttons, instead, Razer has installed their own mechanical buttons, the same ones used in their keyboards.

Essentially, each of the 8 pins on the bottom row goes to a specific button, while the top 8 pins all go to ground. Now that you have ground connected, use the diagram from before and connect the 8 button inputs to their respective screwdown ports on the breakout. You can do this with a caliper - a digital caliper is often quite helpful for this and other arcade-related projects.I corroborated this with a certified electrician, so no need to somehow condense 8 ground wires into 1 wire for no reason whatsoever! The volume button on the fightstick seems to change levels in Windows, but then changing volume in Windows picks up from wherever it had last been set in Windows, overriding the Evo’s levels. It is more affordable than its predecessor, at RM1,099, and does have some benefits over it as well. Powered by Razer Chroma, the controller’s customizable RGB lighting can be set through the Razer Controller Setup for Xbox App.

So, if it was at 50 originally and then lowered with the Evo, pressing volume up on the computer would increase it from 50, making the level seem to spike suddenly. If you're confused on which way to plug in the harness into the Mini, just plug it in so that the empty pins are on the left side of the Mini, like This.The addition of the headphone jack is a blessing, and certainly makes it more viable for eSports players.

Choose the right tool for the job and easily swap out included thumbstick caps depending on your playstyle and ergonomic preference. But, if the Panthera Evo necessitates the additional purchase and installation of alternate buttons to be a reliable fightstick, it seems more sensible to go for the original Panthera and avoid the fuss altogether. Affix a flat head screwdriver to the base of the joystick shaft to keep it from spinning, and reach around to the opposite side of the Panthera to remove the balltop. If you do intend to replace the original Razer Panthera EVO pushbuttons with Sanwa, Seimitsu, Crown, GamerFinger, or other brand of pushbutton, you will first remove nine (9) screws from the Panthera EVO enclosure, below the acrylic panel. For example, GamerFinger's artwork cap has a diameter that is slightly larger than Seimitsu or Sanwa.

For the most part, the Razer Panthera Evo looks almost the same as its predecessor but when you think about it, how different can arcade sticks look anyway.
