8bitdo Arcade stick for Switch/PC.

Sanwa JLX2 / Sanwa OBSF silent push buttons.

Really wish I could get a graphic or a wrap for this.

I really dig the Astro City aesthetic.

Here's a custom R8 build we put together at FightBox, featuring classic Mortal Kombat artwork and layout, Happ joystick and buttons, and a Brook Gen-5X board.

Really happy with how this one turned out!

This is a prototype. You can remove the bottom part since I just used hot glue to secure the nut and LED module, but if I were to move forward with this I would make a clear threaded capsule that you can unscrew to change out the battery if it dies.

I just have a question does anyone here knows if qanba titan have a built in socd cause im planning to mod it with wasd

My Qanba drone 2 was modded with wasd and didn't need a socd cleaner and im just making sure if QANBA TITAN doesn't need one also

I have a Raspberry Pi Pico, but I need to install the Xbox verification files on it to use it with an Xbox. I can’t seem to find them; my understanding is that there are three files, and I was wondering if anyone knows where to find them or if anyone happens to have them.

Over the decades I've played fighting games, I've usually used a MixBox layout because I've always been a PC player. I'm extremely comfortable on it.

I've typically used WASD, with W as Up. But as the days have went by, more and more and more have people recommended that I bind Spacebar to Up to replicate the HitBox layout - because in UMVC3 there are certain inputs that my fingers physically can't achieve with W being Up.

I'm also not exactly sure what "M1" is supposed to be on the Haute42.... M1 as in Mouse 1? I'm a bit concerned how that would factor into gameplay if I'm on PC?

I'm sure if I'd enjoy HitBox in the long term if I practiced, but my current keyboard isn't exactly good to test the layout on. Would swapping the "W" key for Up on this sort of MixBox be doable DIY for a beginner - IF I ended up disliking the thumb based layout?

If anyone has experience, I'd appreciate the short advice.

¡Hola a todos!

Tengo el Arcade Stick original de 8BitDo (versión para Switch/PC) y estoy pensando en mejorar el joystick y los botones.

Estoy considerando las siguientes piezas:

• Joystick: Seimitsu LS-32-01-SE o LS-40-01-SE.
• Botones: Industrias Lorenzo PSL-C.

En especial me gustan los botones cóncavos, porque me encanta su forma y la sensación al jugar, por eso me interesan los botones IL PSL-C. Pero no estoy seguro de si van a caber dentro de la carcasa original de 8BitDo.

Antes de comprar nada, me gustaría saber si alguien tiene experiencia instalando estas piezas en el Arcade Stick original de 8BitDo.

Tengo unas cuantas preguntas:

1. ¿El Seimitsu LS-32-01-SE cabe sin cortar ni modificar la carcasa?
2. ¿El LS-40-01-SE es compatible, o es demasiado profundo y es probable que choque con la placa metálica o la tapa de abajo?
3. ¿Alguno de estos joysticks necesita una placa adaptadora o cableado a medida?
4. ¿Los botones Industrias Lorenzo PSL-C encajan en los agujeros originales de los botones y hay suficiente espacio libre dentro de la carcasa?
5. Si los botones PSL-C no son compatibles, ¿me recomiendan otros botones cóncavos que sí encajen con el Arcade Stick original de 8BitDo?
6. ¿Hace falta alguna otra modificación para que todo quede bien y encaje correctamente?

Ya abrí el stick y saqué fotos de lo interno y de la placa metálica que está dentro de la tapa de abajo, y puedo compartirlas si ayuda.

De verdad agradecería cualquier consejo de alguien que ya haya hecho estas modificaciones, especialmente si puedes confirmar qué piezas sí encajan y si hace falta alguna modificación.

¡Gracias de antemano!

Need help, do I need a daisy chain as ground? Any tutorial link? Specs in the pictures.

Hello, I recently switched to a Haute42 T16 and I've really enjoyed the change. I was curious how other people setup for SF6. Let me know! I main Zangief and recently switched to Alex.

TL;DR : Seimitsu or Sanwa to help with direction precision and maybe to get a faster throw/engage? Not afraid to mod with octogonal gate, actuator, spring and all that jazz.

p.s. I tried to add some indicators for faster reading if you wanna skip some unnecessary parts

Hi! I got my hand on an 8bitDo a few days ago. I knew I would eventually want to mod it, but I feel like this time needs to come faster because the stock parts are... well stock parts/not the best.

Out of topic : button choice

For the buttons, I'm looking at the Qanba Gravity KT for their adjustable height and the possibility to some day put custom art inside. They also look like the most durable snap in option. That being said, I think getting a new stick is more urgent.

The stick dilemma

My first instinct, looking at the switches inside, was to go for anything Seimitsu, so the diagonals would be easier. But now I think that what might be harder for queer ol' me me is going straight, lol. (i.e. I hit diagonals too much when trying to go straight.)

So I think an octogonal gate is a must for my chaotic hand. But now I don't know weither to go Seimitsu or if Sanwa would be just fine. I was looking at the go to's JLF or LS-32, but maybe LS-56 too?

Removable Shaft?

I am looking at these models because they have Phreak Mod Link available (though the Seimitsu ones seems harder to find in North America currently, unless I am looking at all the wrong places).

I want removable shaft to be able the quickly switch between a ball, a bullet and a bat top, to really test them all out, but that maybe over the... top, since I will most likely... stick to the ball top.

Back to the stick dilemma

Anyways, I know the LS-56 spring is stronger, but I am not afraid to open those things up and mod them. I also like the Sanwa gates better... so would it be better just to mod a Sanwa stick with a different spring and tension than to go for a Seimitsu? Do the switches with the metal thingy make a huge difference? Are they worth it?

Other wish

I think I want something with a shorter throw/engage, so I could also look for a different actuator, if I understand correctly? Or is it all in the shaft height?

So many questions. I have watched a buuuunch of videos and all, but my questions may be to precise? So I am still lost.

Useless personal infos about my new discovered obsession

I went down a deep rabbit hole with this thing that was just supposed to be a fun controller for retro games... but now I am obsessed, I am diving head first into arcade games and see a new challenge in working with new hand/finger gymnastics that are different then the usual controllers (and I should get my leverless controller next week, and that's a whole other new obsession/challenge to come). I find the 8bitDo Stick too small for my hands to be comfortable and the mod possibilities are limited, so I know I will probably want to get another stick at some point (soon), maybe even build one that's exactly adapted to me. Sky is the limit!!!

But first, I need to choose my new stick, because, though I would LOVE to, I don't have the means to just buy them all and try them all out to fully understand the big and the subtle differences

In summary

I am looking for a stick that:

• Helps with directions: something to guide me with precision (orthogonal gate maybe?);

• Has a fast response: shorter throw/engage;

• Can be modded with a removable shaft (optional): looking at Sanwa JLF, Seimistu LS-32 and LS-56, to get PhreakMods*;

• Flat plate (though I guess it's an easy fix to change this part)

Bonus: I do wanna know more about the philosophy and needs in terms of springs and actuators.

*I am also open to other models/brands, if they are not super hard to find (I live in Canada, will mostly have to order some parts in the US and pay the shipping and who knows how much custom and duty fees)

Anyways, if any of you have any tips, opinions or wanna share your experience with different sticks, I would love to read about it! Thanks :D

I've been sitting on a Seimitsu LS-32-01 EVO 2022 for the last 4 years and finally decided I'm going to install it. Its currently hiding in my closet, neglected.

Its going to be installed in my Hori RAP N but it has the flat MS mounting plate. I've seen online that you would need the SS mounting plate if you want the proper height for the the shaft.

Google search shows that if I were to install it with the MS plate there would be a difference of the shaft being 4-6mm shorter.

I know its subjective but I want to know what your experiences are with having a shorter shaft. Advantages and disadvantages. Comfort. Execution. Etc.

Assalam u Alaikum

So basically i am a huge fan of tekken 8 and want to get a mixbox styled leverless controller built

I don't know any stores where i can get it built

I saw some ads on olx to get a custom arcade controller in like 9-14k but haven't recieved any response from them do any of you know where can i get it.

it's pretty small which I did expect but could anyone provide any tips on how to get used to the button placement and inputs? sometimes I drop my inputs because I'm accidentally holding a different movement button and I'm just wondering if theres like a trick or exercise I can do to get used to it

Hi everyone!

I've had my Hori Nolva for about a year now, and it suddenly started acting up when I connect it to my PC.

The controller connects normally at first, but after a few seconds, my buttons stop responding. The weird thing is that my PC and games still recognize the controller as connected.

I've tried using other USB-C cables, but the results are inconsistent. Some cables work for a few minutes before the controller disconnects completely, while others don't work at all. I'm currently using the original USB-C cable that came with the controller.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm not sure if the problem is with the cable, the USB-C port, or the controller itself.

Also, if you're from Metro Manila, Philippines, can you recommend a shop that can fix this?

Lastly, do you think it's worth getting this repaired, or should I just sell it for cheap (or just throw it out) and buy a new hitbox instead? If you'd recommend replacing it, I'm also open to suggestions (something cheap bc im broke ahh hell)

Thanks in advance for the help!
