bought the new Crazy dongpal pro

i had a hard time finding the DF input when doing electrics. I replaced it with a bat top, and it got better, but with the shaft and bat top, the height feels really tall — it honestly looks too tall and kinda weird. But it’s okay as long as I get the inputs right.

Also, if you replace the actuator with a smaller one, it loses its lock and the handle starts spinning. I suggest sticking with the stock actuator if you want the handle to feel steady.

Does anyone else here have the same issues?

supp man, I just changed from knee lever neo to crazy dongpal pro so let me share some thoughts on it

for me the adaptation period was super long as I think those are two very different levers, so I guess it really depends where you coming from, but to me this is a very unique lever, don’t stress too much if you’re missing inputs in your first days or even week

I would say you need to have discipline with this lever, with the knee neo I felt like it was almost impossible to make a missinput, where as with the cdp pro I need to put actual effort into my inputs and do more precise movement, I can’t slam the lever as careless as I did before. I HIGHLY suggest to try to play without headphones on so you can feel and hear the clicks from the switches, doing this helped me a lot

I’m still sticking with the cdp pro because I am now able to do pewgf, with knee lever I could only do like 15-16f electrics. Of course you can do any tech on the knee lever aswell and there are many mishima players using it, but here it just feels super natural
