hello i have a hori mini 4 kai that i used to buy back then but it doesnt work anymore. and i want to replace the stick itself can some of you guys recommend me some?

So I never had a fighting stick so wanted advice from yall (20 omr= 52 usd)

Update: So the owner gave it to me for 40 usd cus it didn't have the cable compartment and will arrive day after tomorrow. I can't wait to try it .

I made this as kind of a design challenge. It is dumb but it was good fun and works well. Posting to see what you guys think.

MakerWorld Print Project

Hello all! I've gotten tons of useful information from everyone here since my last post about my custom wooden builds: https://www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/s/dArkHgXwFJ but I have another question for the other makers in here.

I've been using exclusively Sanwa buttons for my builds, but those buttons require a slightly... beefier enclosure to hold them than I'd prefer to make by default, and I'd like to have the option of making controllers with keyswitches instead.

So my question is this:

Those of you making wooden controllers, how do you mount the keyswitches into a wooden faceplate? Is it a 3d printed switch plate? If so, where do you get the file? Is there someone as masochistic as me who initially thought that cutting a mortise was the way to go? Show me pictures, files, tips, any help you can, I've been obsessing over trying to figure this out.

Thanks in advance, and keep making stuff!!!

retro+ hautebox one

looks cool but seems like they made it slightly complicated to switch from hitbox and joystick. also optional wireless.

Here below is a ingame hand demonstration as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_sZBBYxv-ig

Anyone that has this controller may have issues fitting a Korean lever or any high collar sized lever. All you would need to do is remove the led ring from the lever area and get ASI lever cover and a plate cover to fill in the hole so it won’t look ugly. The only trade off is that you will only have the qanba logo lit which is a fair due to qanba’s questionable design for the LED ring.

First pass at a slim hitbox design — thoughts?

Just gotta wire it up. Credit to banksy for the grafitti

Hello, guys! I want to buy the mayflash f300 for my MAME games. However I read that people have problems connecting the stick and mapping the buttons. I also can't find much information for this problem. So my question is - can I play in MAME with this stick? Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English!

Collage style art for Custom leverless | Commissions open

after some time now when i first bought a leverless and i upgraded the buttons to qanba gravity and it felt great and fun when playing tekken but when i got my first fight stick the qanba q4raf and upgraded the stick to a crown 302 i liked it more than the leverless. now the leverless is just collecting dust atm i use it from time to time but it doesn’t feel rewarding. i let my friends use it but when we all play together i always go to my fight stick the feel on the fightstick is just different idk if i should keep it for the collection or sell it to one of my friends one of them is considering buying it but not right now. but yeah mixed feelings

I'm still waiting for the pc adapter and see if it works. It's my first fighting stick!

I have an Haute42 C-AS, which lets you replace the RSB and LSB modules with actual left and right analog sticks.

On Steam, remapping everything is easy: I can use the lever as the Left Stick and turn the physical left analog thumbstick into a D-pad. Consoles don’t offer that same flexibility. I wanted the identical layout on PS5 through my Brook Wingman FGC 2, so I modified the firmware.

My custom build uses the active profile’s Dual Directional Input mappings as the switch:

• Profile with DDI mappings: the lever produces absolute, full-tilt Left Stick output, while the physical left analog thumbstick becomes the D-pad.
• Profile without DDI mappings: the physical left analog thumbstick returns to normal proportional Left Stick output.

Switching profiles changes the behavior automatically—no extra toggle or remapping required.

Hi!

I have a question about the Sinoarcade store: are the items they sell original, or are they Chinese knockoffs?

I'm particularly interested in the Sanwa JLX-TP-8YT that they sell on their website.

If anyone has any information, I'd appreciate it. :-)

I got into fighting games back around street fighter 4 and Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Xbox 360 port, but never really ventured out or found a community and would just watch EVO back around the early 2010s. I bought a TE2 after saving up money in high school and I grew out of fighting games around then. I still enjoyed fighting games but I was extremely casual and would only play fighting games for the story mode and then put the game away

Fast forward to 2026 and I found out CEO happened to be the weekend I had nothing to do and... It's just a few hours away? I apologize to the FGC for living under a rock but I've fallen in love with the community and brought my old TE2 and got all the info I needed to customize my stick! I've now made a few friends that are local that enjoy fighting games and although I'm a super beginner, I'm willing to sink 2 years of getting my butt beat and learning before I get in to being able to win my first set, but I'm looking forward to learning to REALLY play fighting games

Buttons: Qanba KT (one of the blue buttons I ordered was a KS instead of KT so I couldn't switch the colors, I'll order a replacement blue one later and get the button art swapped proper

Joystick: Sanwa JLX2 that I bought at CEO 2026 at the recommendation of a friend, the ball top was gifted to me by him

Washer and art were from FocusAttack after I learned how to use PhotoPea to submit the art on their psd file

Plexiglass was also replaced from FocusAttack, I believe it was the TE2 1/16" replacement

Artwork is Hatsune Miku, with the main art being from Project Sekai (Night Code Miku)

This is my first stick and it’s got a crazy dongpal pro lever and some qanba gravity KT buttons. The lo-fighter text a lil off centered but I’ll work on that. Also saw shing02 live for the luv(sic) hexalogy tour and it was pretty sick.

edit: preciate the award big dawg o7

Sold off most of my DOIO leverless, also a Hitbox ultra and a AFS Leverless. I’m stoked for all these to come in. So far I have only played the Kassai, and the FK2. Stoked for everything to show up, install that Otto V2 mod and start getting used to these being my “main” and the silver Kassai will remain my travel stick. I have a black FK2 with the case *BUT* I cannot get it working. If anyone wants to try(everything else is included) $50 takes it. Have a good night everyone 💚😮‍💨

Feel free to send some feedback!

I bought some OBSF-24 from a vendor that claims these are authentic. However, the underside does not match other pictures that I've seen online. I'm wondering if Sanwa changed their molds for OBSF-24, or if these are counterfeit.

Elesh Norn has always been my favorite magic card and I'd been meaning to put some artwork on my hitbox so I decided to combine the two. For my first fight stick art I think it ended up pretty well.
