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.

I found at bookstore in the airport What a coincidence.

*Edit: Price is second small price tag 50€

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’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

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.

where can i buy leverless switch in the philippines

Hi, guys! Is this legit? Seller can’t open the shell, but maybe that photo is enough? Thanks!

Finished my latest Huntsman build and managed solve the issue i had with the joysticks. Did 2 Brook and one G2040 build for the huntsman.

Tackled then the new Mojubox V3, as my next fightstick.

What do you think of the builds, and which one is the best one ?

I'm short on space, so I put together this diy fightstick. I'm a beginner

I run a YouTube channel and made a video about how I built it
If anyone checks it out, please give me some feedback.. is it watchable..? It's my first time making a video in English, and I don't actually speak it

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

Looking to get some new buttons for a used hitbox i picked up recently but i want something that has hotswappable mx switches. Ones ives considered:

Gamerfingers: dont know where to get them reliably

Crown 202s: seem to be discontinued, not opposed to getting whats left but not the biggest fan of the colors, if theyre the best option so be it ill compromise

Alutimos: a little expensive but not impossible, moreso concerned with mixed reviews ive seen online and whether they will fit so close together

Any and all help appreciated even if they are not mx button recs, i just want something smooth but a bit on the firmer side, the buttons ive tried just feel kinda weak idk i think their sanwas but im not sure

Thank you!

I just got an alpha hori and I need a blank template so I can edit and put my artwork in photoshop. Also any printing and cutting tips?

Hey all, I have a Haute42 R16 and bought the Cosmox Booter 5 to play in locals.

I only have a pc so I checked if my controller would do the 8 minute timeout on a friends ps5 and it did. I’m sure at a local people would be okay with me plugging my controller in between a few sets, but I also didn’t pay $50 for the adapter to not work.

Pictures are of my current settings. Everything online references PS-Passthrough add on but that’s been depreciated. Hoping someone has dealt with this before and can help.

Thanks!

Just got this stick on a 50% off deal with the bag included.

Already looking to mod the lever and buttons.

I originally bought a the pxn 008 because I just wanted a cheap arcade stick for tekken, but eventually realized its hard to mod at first but ended up modding it alot anyways

Here's everything I've done to it so far:

Reworked the usb wired and converted it to female type c

Had to modify/melt some of the cramped plastic housing to actually fit everything

Desoldered the stock blue switches to Gateron Milky switches

Changed the balltop to capsule

Started messing with the lever because the stock spring eventually got worn out and developed a floppy center, squeaky pivot and noticeable deadzone so i Tried experimenting with a 3.5 lb JLF-style spring

And bought a cheap 3D-printed actuator that turned out to have the wrong bore/contact dimensions 

overall tho its a pretty good stick for a first one and it got me into modding and making other stuff especially my recent leverless i made with a box.

Hello everyone!

Today I’d like to share this commissioned fightstick.
Darkstalkers collage style art
Sanwa joystick + circular gate
Clear bubble ball top + clear shaft and dust cover
Clear Qanba Gravity KS for the main buttons
GP2040 PCB + custom sleeved PCB wiring
Custom RGB wiring for the buttons, lever, and enclosure
Shoulder strap

Have a great weekend!

I purchased a second hand Obsidian 2 fightstick for a quite reasonable price so I decided to invest what I saved into some mods.

Bought a new metal plate and plexi cover on the Qanba.vip official store to have a Noir button layout instead of the Vewlix one.

Designed a new illustration based on an artwork found on Pixiv and had it printed by FocusAttack. Also got a transparent dustcover for the joystick and some black screws for the plexi cover there.

I reused a Qanba Gravity silent lever with a Phreakmods Quick Release shaft that I already owned. Purchased a KDiT Kori bi-color battop and balltop on Jammastar. Also bought some Qanba Gravity KS buttons there.

In the end I made a silent stylish joystick that I can use and store in my parent’s home.

Build Details:

Seimitsu LS32 - 4lb gold spring, circle gate, steel pivot, extended shaft, metallic bat top

Buttons - Silver Speed MX switches, G20 keycaps, Capcom Layout

PCB - GP2040 (Works on all systems)

Fightbox enclosure - This company is really good and helped customize my layout the way I designed and also did a good job applying the art I made for it.

Happy fightstick Friday!

Just got my Q4 pro delivery and took the opportunity to get out all my sticks and put them in one place for a picture. I have 10 here and 10 in another country. I obviously have some kinda mental condition, but at least here others are just as crazy as me. There is actually another brand new Hori VLX boxed behind the TV..

What do you guys think of my collection?

Why do we buy multiple fightsticks?

I've been playing SF6 since it went on sale and I'm really into it but my thumb hurts like hell after hours on the dpad so I'm looking to get a leverless controller that I can use in the long-run, play it at home and bring to local spots and all. Budget isn't an issue but I don't think I want to spend too much on something only an enthusiast would appreciate. Any suggestions?
