It's a piece of "junk". The metal stick is so soft like a butter. Cannot resist swing force at all. It bends after a few strokes. Suck!

The very soft rubber makes it very easy to slip under food and I never have to worry about scratching a sensitive surface on my pans. By sure not to rest it on the edge of the pan even for a few seconds. It will melt the handle enough to make a dimple.

This plush is so awesome. My boyfriend got it for me for my one-year anniversary with him, and needless to say, he won major brownie points from me for getting it. This toy is soft all over, even the material on the horns is soft. The horns stay upright even after being shoved around and pop back up instantly. The belly of this Appa plush is so soft, the softest part of the plush, I think. He is super durable. I know this because I would often carry him around with me to visit friends on my college campus (I have no shame in admitting this, I'm a big Avatar fan), and he lived through me stuffing him in my backpack and still looks brand new. This toy also makes an amazing, sturdy pillow. This toy is absolutely perfect in every way.

This is so perfect and its likeness to Kurt is uncanny. Also, its much softer than I expected.

It's silky and soft for fingers to press on comfortably. The sound can last quite long, and it is has a particular tune, a taste of  the material of characteristics copper.

This imaging is so sturdy. The body is a heavy hunk of metal and the keys are big chunky tactile keys that are so satisfying to type on.

My husband works with a lot of equipment and was having issues with his metal band.  We also watch Jimmy Fallon and he recently sustained a severe injury (ring avulsion) which is really disgusting, so google it on an empty stomach.  He was really horrified by the injury, so we decided to try this and he loves it!  He said it feels so good and light on his hand.  The material is really soft and stretchy yet really strong.  It also looks really nice - you'd never think it was silicone unless you really examined it.  Very happy with this purchase!

The shirt is really soft which I like in a shirt. It is real memorabilia with the shinny Elvis sticker. I bought it large so I can cut it up and distress it so I am really happy it was only five bucks!

This bed spread is made of magic and I never want to leave it! It's the softest most comfortable thing I've ever felt. I love that it isn't too heavy too! I'm a hot sleeper and I don't get any warmer under this than I did our old regular comforter. I absolutely adore it, and so do my cats ;)

I love its weight but it WILL get damaged. The metal is very soft. I was able to rebend it when it got smushed by the airline.

I was fortunate enough to order one of these while they were still in stock, and I must say, I could not be happier with my purchase. Out of the box the stick is solid and really feels like it can take some abuse. The joystick (Sanwa JLF) is extremely responsive and the Hori buttons are nice as well. Another great thing about this stick is the sheer size of the cabinet. It allows for plenty of space to rest your hands on and it works well wether you place it on the coffee table or in your lap. I've used this exclusively since getting SF4, and even with the amount of use it's gotten already, it still feels solid. My friends say the same when I take it with me to video game nights. They love it as well.

With regards to customization - as others have said, this stick comes with great parts that will perform to most standards and types of playing. With that said though, some may choose to customize the HRAP, and it is very easy to do so. The buttons are all snap in, and it's easy to disconnect the wires since they use quick disconnects. The stick itself is also easy to customize. Sanwa offers many solutions for restrictor gates and bat tops. I myself, wanting the feel of an American arcade stick, swapped out the standard square gate for an octagonal one and put a bat top on the stick in place of the bubble top. I am extremely happy with the feel. A quick google search on-line will take you to a couple suppliers where parts can be ordered if you choose to go the custom route (I ordered my stuff from lizard lick amusements), and a visit to the forums on srk has plenty of info for everything. The only other thing I may do is add some weight inside the cabinet. It's pretty hefty already, but a little bit more wouldn't hurt. It's a personal perference.

All in all, this is a great stick. I am extrememly happy with my purchase and love using it with SF4. 30 years and I've finally realized my dream of having an arcade in my living room - no quarters required!

I absolutely love these eggs. They're made of thermoplastic rubber. In Swedish, it translates to gummi, yeah like gummi bears. Actually the feel is akin to a giant gummi bear. There are three densities, and going with an admittedly lame comparison, the yellow is like a giant soft, fresh gummi, the red is like firmer ones from Hariboro, and the blue is a giant, stale gummi. I know someone said the last two were the firmness of a lemon, and the blue, like a tennis ball. I found even the firmest one had more give than that. But descriptions of firmness are difficult to describe.

These are not hollow, they are a high quality thermoplastic rubber. I really didn't expect that kind of quality for the price.

They can be used as stress balls, but I use them for hand exercises. They're really great for this and I can work my way up. The best thing is that they make hand exercises fun. And the graduation in firmness is perfect for me. I always leave one out and find myself grabbing it several times a day. Love'em

This ButterMate is the sharpest thing I've seen! I have one arm that I have since I got a stroke. And this thing works beautiful! I have got to work it carefully since I've read all the reviews and this wire is going to break sooner or later. But until that happens this thing works beautifully! I take out the butter from the door early, giving it a chance to get a little soft. I wish they would sell the wire or pack a few separate! Because when it breaks I'm going to have to throw away rather than order another one. But while it doesn't break I'm pretty proud of it! I'll be careful!!!
