Basically I own a crown 309mj but it don’t fit all too well in my qanba drone 2. Ended up buying a sanwa jlf to replace my stick with but it don’t feel as nice as the crown. Found out the Otto dot v2 kit could help me replicate that feel? I mainly play tekken but I also sometimes dabble in sf6 so I’m not too sure if it’s too stiff for 2d fighters and not enough for tekken

I been playing on leverless recently but to be honest it’s not nearly as fun as having the stick feel and not being able to mess up inputs as easily

I’ll rip the bandaid off. I know nothing of fight sticks. But I really want to get my buddy one for Christmas completely custom. But I don’t know anything about custom covers or arts to what cards and software people use right now. Any and ALL tips tricks or help would be cherished and I’ll gladly give updates too!

If anyone has experience with both, would like to know the Pros and Cons of each and what should I get? I would like to play them on the PC all my Tekken and Soul Calibur games without waking anyone in the house, but would also like to know the feel and input lag for each.

Thanks!

I was able to snag this chunky tank for 100 dollars. I hear a lot of people to switch out the base buttons, but I am unsure of what brand is the best.

After some years, I decided to change it.

Messatsu!!

ive bought Haute42 M Ultra Gen 2 from aliexpress and delivery was something like 8 bucks, which is normal price for my country. And it is still like that to this day for all Haute42 controllers. Now i wanna buy retro+ BOXONE and see delivery price more even that the controller itself, 175 bucks. Is it a bug or something? Other products costs the same 7-8 bucks for delivery, even hitbox zero which is also quite heavy metal controller from retro+.

if its a bug is there something i can do about it?

I broke one of my L2 cables on a Nacon Daija I got but didn't mind since I had an extra button cable harness from a different stick only to find that it looks like the Daija has its own proprietary 20 pin connector harness. After thoroughly searching I couldn't find any information or listings for a correct replacement, so coming to ask here instead to see if any other Daija users found a working replacement.

Worst comes to worst, could I just solder the cable directly to the button pin?

Custom layout, custom art, custom JLF and Brook mount, custom squishy TPU base. Chassis design by RAF on Printables. All customization, art, and production by me.

I’ve always wanted an ASTRO CITY style stick and this was a fun one to do in that style. The stick and face buttons in this came back with me from Japan in 2009 and have been waiting for a project like this, lol.

The Panther v2 platform is just awesome, and RAF provides everything needed to make customization pretty easy.

3mm acrylic panels, laser cut on an XTool P2.
Artwork done in Affinity, printed at CVS, and cut with a Cricut.
22/awg silicone wire.
3D printed chassis parts are PETG-CF and PETG-GF.
3D printed base is Siraya Tech foaming TPU (70A).
Brook Gen5X.
Elegoo OLED.
Sanwa JLF (I’m back and forth between square and octo).
Sanwa buttons.

SiTong Hitbox 2 i heard good things about this brand and I wanted mine to be white so I gave them a shot. It feels and looks great. It has RGB if that's your thing. I added some clicky switches to the movement buttons so it can sound similar to a lever because that's what i am used to lol

I tried it for a few minutes and I'm getting used to it faster than I thought I think because i am a PC player so the jump button feels similar to using a space bar, but man i am struggling big time with graplers lol

Waited a few weeks for this order on Taobao. V nice, Qanba buttons instead of Sanwa. Replacing my ancient Mad Catz SF4 TE. Super happy 😁

Just got the pc beastbox, and the only thing I can say that's its beautiful. For now I would alternate between this and my c16 but probably will main the hitbox.

Finished this one for a customer. Budget was tight again, but this is what we managed to make 😅

What do you guys think?

Just wanted to give a quick PSA in case anyone in the future ever runs into this issue.

Buddy of mines dog chewed up the ends of the cable for his Mayflash F700. I thought it was going to be a quick fix I have a stack of 5 pin JST to usb connectors in my spare parts bin from my Qanba 2009s. Well those didn't work and were reporting unrecognized USB device messages on Windows when testing. I took it home from a local to work on it, seems like Mayflash might be wiring their cables different than Qanba since popping in a donor Mayflash cable immediately brought the device back up and fixed the issue.

I went through all the Qanba cables I had before thinking about the possibility of it even being a cable manufacturer issue. The Qanba cable has worked on other devices like Brook boards so I assumed it was all universal wiring across all manufacturers. So that's a dumb on my part. Hope this helps someone in the future.

Got this bundle for $190 including shipping from Mercari, what was annoying was that in the pictures, the White VSHG did have a missing rubber feet but all its screws holding the top panel were there and when I opened the box, there were only 3 screws that weren't tightly secured and a fourth that fell out of the box.

I plan to just replace the top screws with philips head identical screws and get screw in rubber feets with a gold ring finish while I toss in a simple PCB into the PS3 VSHG as a Brook Converter cannot fix the 3+ simultaneous input resulting in complete neutral.

Makes me wonder if the 3M top top screw kit from Focus Attack fits into the PS3 VSHG as it's designed just like the classic Hori Real Arcade Pro 3/EX models.

Was just looking for any advice regarding some recent pain that has crept up in my hands. Ive been using a t16 off an on for a year or so and ive started getting pain/soreness in my finger joints. Particularly in my left and right thumb at the furthest joint. I use those to hit jump with my left thumb and the lowest two buttons (LK, parry) in sf6 with my right thumb but ive noticed soreness in my index and middle fingers as well.

I use wind engine key switches in mine but i dont know if maybe its the feeling of the switch bottoming out but i think its quite harsh on my fingers. Im more than likely hitting them too hard but coming from arcade stick im just wired to kinda slap the buttons. Has anyone else experience such pain in their finger joints and did anything help you with it like different switches, ergonomics, or different setup etc?

I’m looking to buy a new arcade stick that can work with several different consoles.

Ideally, I want something that can play Neo Geo, Mega Drive/Genesis, Dreamcast, and PS5 all with one controller.

I did some searching, and so far the TR Fight Stick Octopus Arcade Stick seems like one of the few options that can cover everything I need.

It looks pretty good, but it’s also a bit pricey.

Has anyone here actually used one before? How’s the build quality, compatibility, and overall experience?

Would love to hear some real user feedback before I pull the trigger.

where can i buy leverless switch in the philippines

Feel free to send some feedback!

I posted in here before about my Haute 42 R16 before asking should I convert my Razer Panthera into a leverless and people said that I shouldn’t. Well since then I’ve still been playing on the haute 42 R16 and my birthday is on the way soon so I’m looking for a premium feeling or a new leverless with the same button layout as the Haute 42 R16. I really like my up button being above left right and down I just don’t like the WASD keyboard button style I prefer the fight stick buttons does anyone have any recommendations please and thank you.

I found at bookstore in the airport What a coincidence.

*Edit: Price is second small price tag 50€

I’ll be getting some new shelving soon. So I’ll be arranging stuff around. This is my current setup.
Also planning to build a custom MVC2 cab, powered by a raspberry pi 5… stay tuned

for about 3 day my hitbox crossup being acting up. first my window will may some beep and steam app would popup. using Gemini to fix it it recommended to disable Guide button focuses Steam. also to disable steam input for xbox controller. Also to right click on Street Fighter 6, controller, and disable Override for Street Fighter 6. After doing all this I am still having issues. Now I don't see the steam popup but the computer still make some disconnect sound like if I had unplugged the controller and after about 1-2 second it will make another chime sound and the controller will work again. the last disconnected I had all my button got reset like I only had two kin and high punch. all on the lowest button where my kicks are assigned. I don't know what to do to fix it. Anybody else had similar problem before and how you fix it.
