About GL

Golden project started as community project in SRK Forum. We see big potential in Korean lever design, especially for 3D games like Tekken, movements are very crucial and korean lever design is perfect for this. At that time there wasn’t much Korean parts available for us to do moding and tuning, so we decided to start this project.

Everyone is unique and have their own preference, that's why we create parts with different spec and sizes, so everyone can build setup according to their play-style. We got tremendous support by FGC, they help us from funding to design.

At first we develop mod parts for Myoungshin lever, and fully moded Myoungshin Lever using golden parts we called it "Golden Fanta". We choose Myoungshin because many top korean player prefer it over crown and Myoungshin have similar design to Fanta Lever.

Then after couple batch we got noticed by some pro player, and they use it in competitive scene. Having pro player testing golden parts in the real competitive scene give us really valuable feedback. Lowhigh was the first Korean top player that interested using Golden Parts for competition. Not only talented Tekken player, he also have skill in lever tuning and moding. At TWT event in Indonesia (Abuget cup 2018) we finally meet and talk much about lever, he also introduced golden parts to his friends (Rangchu, CBM, and Mulgold).

EVO 2018, Lowhigh wins the biggest Tekken tournament in the world using Golden Parts. Evo not only need skill but also endurance, and golden parts pass this test.

December 2018, Final TWT. Now it is the time to find who will be the best of the best. And even Harada amazed that Rangchu winning the final TWT beating all other players using Panda, this became one of the hyped low tier char story in FGC. Rangchu also use Golden Parts when winning TWT2018

Golden Project achived more than we can dreaming of, winning EVO and TWT at the same year. But we don't stop here, there is one final thing need to be done to complete the golden project. Having all the Idea from FGC and feedback from pro player, Finally we Complete the Golden Lever at the start of 2019. Now we don't use myoungshin case anymore like Golden Fanta, we CNC machined our own base "Golden Base" to get better quality case, and adding a feature so the switches placement can be manually adjusted to make tuning more flexible. Not only the base, we also introduce bearing as an actuator to reduce friction and create smooth movement for the lever, and many player love it.

The world start noticing about golden project after what Lowhigh and Rangchu Achieved in 2018. At SEA Major 2018, I meet and gave some prototypes of the Golden Lever to several player, one of them is Yamasa Yuu. Before this Yuu haven't gone deep into lever moding and tuning, like many other Japanese player they use standard sanwa JLF. After having the Golden Lever in hands, Yuu decide give Golden Lever a try, and start his quest in lever moding and tuning as he enjoy it. He introduced Golden Lever in Japan, and Japan FGC start doing what Japanese people do best "finding perfection". Japan FGC start exploring Golden Lever and tweaking it, they use all possible things in order try to find the perfect setup for their play style.

In September 2019, we have chance to visit Mastercup, one of the biggest Tekken event in Japan. Our partner Attasa open booth and held Golden Lever workshop, and we got many valuable feedback, idea, and support from Japan FGC, also visit from some big names on FGC, they also bought some golden lever and parts.

On Mastercup, "Gura Teacher" Team (Lowhigh, Gura, CBM, Ulsan, and Book) was using Golden Lever for the entire tournament (Golden Lever also can be installed on NOIR cabinet), they are performing very well and make it to the Grand Final.
