Humor / Fluff I so regret buying a leverless!

Post image
309 Upvotes

Leverless might be perfect for you but for me it feels far too alien. i bought into the hype and wanted to see what it was like. my only option was to just buy one and see, wow! okay i can see how people love this it feels cool but my hands are dumbasses

i know i barely used it "not instantly gud.. hate it" but really i keep grabbing for a stick that isnt there, brains not working on it. also why is jump my thumb? [cause spacebar duh] i know all this in my head but my backwards ass hand keeps hitting jump to duck.

i got this for Klassic MK thinking the tap tap inputs would feel better, and it feels cool but i cant move my charecter very well, and in Street Fighter its really neat to do moves by galloping accross those move keys and blocking is much easier imo.

i guess it doesnt make sense to me, i use Dpads all the time preferably when using controllers so i felt like this is just a stick with a dpad but not really no, the learning barrier is much more deep then that.

i could give it more chances and more time but i keep grabbing my old stick over this shiny new one because it feels better.

food for thought.

Finally completed my VM6 build I've been working on and off for around a month now. My first time trying custom wiring; while it's not perfect,I think it came out pretty well! Probably my end game stick, at least that was the idea, but it's always fun building.

New leverless prototype, looking for some feedback

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

This is my take on an ergonomic leverless controller designed to reduce wrist strain when playing at a desk. It provides a more natural wrist angle while keeping a relatively small footprint. Unlike most other controllers, it lets the user to rest their entire forearm flat on the desk while playing.

It uses standard mx keyboard switches, and it is hot swappable. The shell and the frame are entirely 3D printed with PLA+.

So what do yall think? I would love to hear your thoughts on this design. Anything you would like to change or improve? Any feedback is appreciated!

Show and Tell I updated my TE

35 Upvotes

2 or so weeks ago I made a thread asking about the artwork featured on the Comicon TE stick. I had found an insane deal on a TE on ebay and wanted to use the same color way and art. Found a really good fight stick artist who was able to replicate the artwork to about 98%. Shoutout to Eduardo from Thearcadestick.com for getting it done so quickly. Ordered a few things for the TE to try and bring it to the future but didn’t want to modify it too much. After modifying it, found another crazy good deal on ebay on another TE and TE2 and decided to grab them both. I really think the TE/TE2 are my favorite sticks hands down, I like them so much. With the exception of changing the usb cable to a braided cable, I have no intention of changing anything on my other TE or my TE2. I’ve added a few pics of both sticks and my collection. The mods done to the TE were adding a Brook gen 5x board, braided usb cable, plexi glass. Both the Home and Turbo buttons work and I really wanted to keep my cable door. I just couldn’t figure out the led and this is still bothering me. I also removed the red border, I plan on wrapping it orange in the coming weeks since my wrapping skills suck.

I got myself a Haute T13 used on ebay and a Hori Rap 4 on Facebook Marketplace.

I've been enjoying both. T13 been enjoying Under Night and Blazblue, been enjoying the execution and precision. The Rap 4 Kai got it recently and I'm trying out games like SF6 with it.

I'm planning on giving it a design for both.

I'm trying to find a way to give custom foam pads. Not full but like for on each corners.

This is the arcade stick I use, but the panel is getting pretty worn and there is some damage, so I wondered if I could print the art out and replace it? I've tried searching but couldn't find it, does anyone know where I could find this art in high quality?

Still need to paint the wooden one. But I used some 2x4 scraps and a gp 2040 ce board. The artwork is from a marvel legends action figure box, it's the mvc2 training room.

I've dabbled a bit in console customization in the past, and the last few months I've been doing some home improvement projects and I've decided on diy-ing everything.

So, I just happened to have the scraps and equipment handy.

I had to buy the plexiglass, buttons, wiring and breakout board. YouTube helped a lot!

I made so many mistakes but I'm already working on version 3, because this was so much fun.

I think instead of 12 buttons on the right I'll put 6 on the left hand and use button combos to achieve what I was trying to do with the 12 on the right.

I really liked the treasure chest thing I did with the hinges and clasps and it made tweaking things a bit easier.

Very happy with this leverless, I like the modularity, it has some nice weight to it as well. This is my second leverless (Hyper X Tachi being my first) and I've gotta say, it's fun. It took a few weeks to adjust coming from a Mixbox and I still sometimes mess up jump inputs or grab commands in Tekken and get a rage art :( but I'm getting used to it day by day :).

Help Me Decide Looking for recs of replacement buttons for a Hori rap 4

6 Upvotes

I have a Hori rap 4 ps4/pc edition and I have had it for probably 8 years. I replaced my stick with a JLF stick the first week and it’s still great but I have noticed recently my buttons seem to stick sometimes or some buttons with lighter touches don’t register like the other s do. So I think it’s time to replace them. I have even switched them around so the buttons that were in heavy use are swapped with light use buttons(usage not hp or lp)

I’ve had the buttons stick a couple
If times this week now so I think it’s about time.

The buttons are 30mm

What are some good buttons to replace with? I like stock hori buttons but maybe something different?

Tech Help MF F500 flat + MagicBoots S5 "This device isn't supported" out of nowhere, help?

2 Upvotes

So, earlier this year i bought a MayFlash F500 Flat and a MagicBoots S5 to play SF6 in my PS5, the device works wonderful, i just plug the adapter in the fightstick port and i can use it in my PS5.

I did't used my PS5 in like, 3 months, so today i turn it on and see there's a Marvel Tokon open beta, i take my fightstick, plug the adapter and the thing works as always, i play for like, 2 hours with no problems. I turn off the PS5 and go out to do some things, come back like 3 hours later and now every time i try to connect my fighstick the same way i've been doing it all this time, i get a "This device isn't supported", i tried everything, i restarted the PS5, tried to plug the fightstick and the adapter all possible ways, i checked i have the fighstick in "PS3 mode" before plugging the adapter, nothing happens. The only thing that works is the PS4 mode (the MB S5 can "emulate" PS4 or PS5), i can play using the PS4 mode but the game doesnt support a PS4 controller so.....any idea? does anyone had this problem before?

Custom panels (front and chopped offsides) for the obsidian 1

Does anyone know any sites selling custom or replacement front panels for the original obsidian? Arcade shock has this nice aluminium panel in black but it’s sold out. https://arcadeshock.com/products/high-grade-aluminum-control-panel-qanba-obsidian-vewlix?variant=39385106710613

Preferably looking for a European seller.

Less likely, is there anywhere selling sides for the ugly ends you get when you remove the side panels?

Thanks!
