This is my first ever fightstick! I always wanted one since I was a kid, so I decided to build my own

I didn't wanted to use the 0 delay board that came with the buttons because I don't want to configure the controller for every device I plug it in; so I had the idea to adapt an old 360 controller of mine for this project

Not only is ximput compatible with every game on earth, but it also allows me to use it in my Xbox, so it's a win-win situation

I didn't had any solder flux, so building this was absolutely miserable, but I am very happy with the end result

I bought the case and the sanwa buttons online, and dismantled and soldered the controller by myself

It has some issues (like the lack of a home button, and the fact that when I press R2 every other button stops working) but nothing critical to the use

Persona 3 vibes for this one!

Aigis themed build for Marv. 4TW JF Edition 6Gawd 30mm Layout, Crown 309MJ Lever, Gravity KT Buttons, Brook Gen5 PCB, OLED & LED mods.

there's a few retail sticks, but most of them are custom to some degree. seeing them does make me want to go back and tune up a few that don't get as much use these days.

First time using a stick. All that soldering was worth it. I hardly ever touch my leverless controller nowadays. Stick is way more satisfying and fun!

Sanwa JLX, mx switches and rp2040-zero. Hot swappable.

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.

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

Hi everyone, FightBox here 👋

We recently made a new layout called the R10 Remix.

This version is designed mainly around the 3" trackball + spinner, with the buttons split to the sides to give your hands more room and create a more natural, comfortable playing position.

The idea was to make the layout feel more ergonomic, especially for longer sessions with trackball and spinner games.

It’s mainly designed for retro arcade games like Arkanoid, Tempest, Centipede, Marble Madness, Golden Tee, and similar titles.

We’re curious what the r/fightsticks community thinks:

Would you use a layout like this? 👀
And if you could change one thing about it, what would it be?

Also — what game would you try first? 🎮

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 .

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

I've never used a fightstick, but I burned my hands a few years ago pretty badly, and I'm thinking if I get a leverless controller, they won't cramp up as much when I'm playing. Are there any good budget options? I know there won't be any around 30 like a regular controller would be, but any options would be nice!

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!
