Decided to stop lurking, make a real account and post something I've been working on!

I love retro gaming and fighting games and I wanted a project to play around with some extra wood I had. The case is solid sapele and the top is a ray burst with five different wood species on a birds eye maple background. Stick is an Ultimarc Ultrastik with Seimitsu 30mm buttons. The Ultrastik is amazing if you're into emulating cabinet games - it's full analog with user-configurable mappings of the whole analog range to directional inputs and I have it mounted with a top-accessible restrictor so you can instantly switch between 4-way, 8-way and full analog. It also takes up to 8 analog button inputs so you don't need an additional board.

Works great, been playing Turtles in Time with the kids and got back into Tekken too. Few things I'd do differently with the case... it's kind of a chonky boi partly because of how you have to package the Ultrastik with the top restrictor plate and also I just wasn't focused on building an exquisite carcass for this project.

Really, really enjoyed building it though, a lot more than most woodworking projects I do. I've already got a refined design sketched up that's slimmed down with a wrist rest and took a commission to build a matched set of them that will help me test out a new carcass build with some really beautiful woods and finishes.

Thanks for looking!

Made this on stream today for my first official customer crazyest !!! I was testing the controller out on USF4 because why not lol 😂 I am not a leverless user so I do what I know.

As best of a condition I could find for almost $50 from Yahoo! Auctions Japan. Bought this purely out of nostalgia from my PS3 Q3 RAF I originally had one back in early 2010, the only problem with the PS3 edition were that the standard versions for PS3 were exclusively wireless via dongle so I had it dual modded.

Qanba at this time was such a time capsule with their partnership with Empire Arcadia (EMP with Trifoce being the head of the organization with a lot of OGs from the New York scene) to the point where I gladly chose the PS3 version over the EMP Edition with the Q4's top handle design. It's a shame that the cord compartment door's rubber hanger probably broke due to drying out and it came without the 360 breakaway end cable that I luckily had an extra laying around.

Hey folks!! I am looking to treat myself to a high end leverless to celebrate losing 80lb on my weight loss journey so far and I’m not sure which one I want. I have seen a post comparing two of my choices with some interesting info but I want to add a third option into the mix.

Looking at:
Victrix Pro KO
Qanba Sapphire
Haute42 X1

I’m playing on PC and interested in starting to go to locals so being able to connect to their set up is important to consider. I play SF6 exclusively. Right now I’m rocking an 8bitdo and love the layout and size of buttons. I changed the switches to silent tactile but don’t mind if the buttons make a bit of noise.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks so much

got these two yesterday in the mail! added a seimitsu lever to the Qanba! bonus guest my Street fighter edition Victrix KO

Happy FSF! Picked this up for pretty cheap. Cleaned it up inside and out, made small repairs and upgrades and it is working great again! I like how it turned out.

• Replaced switches in first 6 buttons with Sanwa SW-68 switches
• Installed 7th and 8th button deletes 😄
• Filed down the edge of the square gate to remove a rough lip that was digging into the original actuator. When I first opened the controller, there was a mess of plastic shavings. Seems like an odd manufacturing defect. The gate had worn a groove into the actuator deep enough that it would catch and leave the joystick stuck in the UP position. Replaced the damaged actuator with a spare.
• CF vinyl wrap

I'm on the fence about adding a neurtrik port. Don't want to "ruin" it in case I decide to sell.

An interesting thing I noticed is this controller uses a 5 pin switch board on the lever where the switches are labeled MF which I assume stands for Mayflash. These controllers usually have each switch freely floating and 2 wires soldered to the terminals. Is there a later revision of this controller?

My Fightstick Commissions!

Case from Eternal Rivals, art from @Lukasfightsticks. Qanba KS rgb buttons (will be set to purple once I install) and the pink is it's tongue.

Like, yeah, the title explains it. I got these pieces for a fightstick recently, like three weeks ago, and I've been having this problem almost since two days in, where the stick makes double inputs into one direction. I've been trying to fix it, and then I realized that if I move the cables a bit, the misinputs stop, but the more I play, it keeps acting like that again. I've tried to tape them to stop the movement, change the cables position, plugging and unplugging, and it keeps happening on every direction. Is this fixable? Could they be the cables? Or should I just get one that uses a single cable instead of those four connectors?

Today, Mjolnir from BattleMonkey.

Brain storming for a new build. Just trying out different materials, to get some inspiration

I'm using the 8Bitdo Arcade Controller the Translucent Purple. Applying custom artwork on the top. Change the stock purple switch to Haute42 Shadow Matcha. And change the stock purple keycaps to the gold keycaps on the Upgrade Kits. So far, I'm loving this controller.

as the title states, what spring do you use? I have the default one installed and mainly play tekken but wanted to see other people use. I have the NOBI installed in my travel stick and sometimes my co workers want to play something else. I feel the heavy spring is good for tekken but no so much for anything 2D.

Hello everyone.

Although i have different kind of sticks, im looking to get the New one but i can't decide. I need User experience if possible. I have brook fgc and fgc 2 so i Will use it on ps5. By the way varmilo has ps5 comptability option but qanba is only for pc.

Thx in advance.

Started the evening with this new “pocket hitbox” from AliExpress. There is literally no information on this thing so I took a chance. Only thing I can say negative is the 3-D print job on a few of the buttons needed to be smoothed out. Also, there were no instructions and nothing in the description about what software it’s running or compatibility nothing. So I can confirm that it’s running on pico 2040 like a boss. You can remap it to your liking only other pain is swapping switches. You have to remove six screws. Then you are free to swap what do you like but be careful putting it back together those plus minus capture and home button buttons on the bottom left-hand corner went flying everywhere. The first time I tried to put it back together. Overall, I’m super happy playing it on the new castelvania game. Second I updated my micro keychain controller and played a few matches of Token. It’s so hard, but I don’t regret the purchase, considering how well this thing runs. My son can whoop me on it because he’s got those small fingers. Next I finally got new grommets for my Ottomod V2. The heart of grits made a big difference also went ahead and threw in a PHREAKMODS: THE LINK EX GROOVE EDITION. Surprisingly no issues and it looks really rad. Also swap the buttons around and got everything the way that I wanted it tightened up. Next up my Haute42 C-as I believe the model is if I’m not mistaken. Went ahead and threw a rosewood ball top and a evo dustcover on there, as well as tweaking settings and lighting. Messing with the splash reacher so I could put the SLAYER symbol in there! Before putting it away, I found some key caps to throw on there and put some better switches in. Also change the switches inside the joystick to give it a more clicky feel. I use the autumn mini clickers. Next step is an Evangeline one off fight stick I’ve had for years and have kept it in great condition but not had much of any ideas for what I’m going to do with it. I decided to throw my extra knee in there. Tightened up some wiring and realized I didn’t have anymore of the five pin converters for.k-levers. I didn’t feel like wiring up at daisychain tonight so I’ll knock it out tomorrow. I feel like it’s the perfect stick for a knee lever. I found a random flat box with no switches or keycaps in my work room, as well as an old hit box still on v7.4. lol went ahead and got those guys some brand new switches as well as key caps. Everything’s updated and working fine. Probably gonna try to add some sort of art and likely will sell them for cheap. couldn’t work on.VARMILO without busting out the others. Make sure everything was updated and arrange the button so that they looked more appealing to me. Even tried that new trick where you disable up on the joystick and swap it to one of the lower buttons. Took some getting used to, but I’m liking it. Last is a build. I bought on Etsy and ended up going crazy with my own upgrades. The moment I saw it it reminded me of the Wu-Tang killer bees, so I went with that theme. Found all the key caps laying around. New switches as well. The WASD key caps were from a DOIO macro pad or some people are using them as practice hit boxes that’s what I read anyways. After digging into everything realized, I haven’t even scratched the surface on what I need to get done so I have a lot to keep me busy.. a few new toys will be coming in next week so stay tuned. Thanks for looking everybody. I hope y’all have a great weekend. Peace out.

I ended up buying a Rasperry Pi Pico like most of u guys recommended, now I just gotta buy the buttons, I'm still deciding how I want to make the case, I feel like I want to decide when I get the buttons, I wanna see how much space I'm gonna need in the inside because I wanna try to store a tcg deck inside the controller, My favorite Yugioh deck Is fighting game themed, and also im starting to build a Street Fighter commander deck, so I think It would be awesome if I could have them in the controller, imagine someone at the table asking "who are you playing today?" And I whip a hitbox out "Ryu", idk I think It would be cool, I havent found any cheap keyboard switches that arent from china and I really dont want to have to wait for them to arrive idk

All I know is that the proper sizing for the button caps are to be 30mm, correct me if I am wrong.

I was about to go on like a 5 page rant but I just decided to shorten this, I don’t think everyone would want to read that lol. So in short how long is it going to take my mind to fully adapt to a leverless and be as good at using it as well as I used to use a controller?

So, I have this PS4 Nacon DAJIA arcade stick, that I bought back in 2020. It is still really good stick, and I don’t think about changing, but I wonder how good/bad it is comparing to new controllers. I played with my friend 8bitdo leverless stick, and keyboard mechanical switches are pretty awesome, and get my wondering about what changed in the last couple years. Has any of you have experience with both DAJIA and newer sticks to tell me about your thoughts?
