Man I got an idea for custom stick but got no idea if anyone can build it. So when I saw the Cross-Up, I knew I wanted something like that, joystick with d pad capabilities as well, but on the Cross-Up, the direction buttons are on the right. I want them on the left so my thought is a joystick with Mixbox style awsd controls, that way there's enough room for em as, with the way they're spread out to fit the natural curve of the hand, there just would not be for a Hit-Box style button layout. Do you know anyone that could build this?

Great video. I built an Eternal Rivals Vegeta stick, which is now in their gallery. It is a nice, lightweight enclosure and the customer service is great, including getting your art squared away. I also built two AFS sticks, 14" and 18". They weigh a ton, but i like it. The massive, ultra heavy 18" enclosure is my favorite. It allows you to play more aggressively, no joke. It feels like you are playing on an arcade cab. Not good for lugging around. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. Again, great video.

@prhyme27 4 жыл бұрын

Some real good options presented here. I'd be interested to know which of these makers get down with weird/specific customization requests. When making my boombox fightstick I had some very specific needs. A BNB fightstick case was actually my first choice, but you (jony) told me you couldn't do what I wanted and instead pointed me to AFS. They were able to fill my request, and everything came out great. It wasn't an easy task for myself or AFS, but the end result is something I'm very proud of. I've got another goofy custom idea, and I'm not sure what case to run with. I know AFS can pull off what I want, but I like to try something new/different with each build and wouldn't mind giving one of these other builders a shot. Also it may just be me and my love for bigger cases (I bought the 18" case), but I feel like the metal cases are a bit on the heavier side than acrylic ones. Do you happen to know if any of these other builders can add extra holes and/or cutouts to their cases, or would it be best to just contact each builder directly?

Seems like the majority of the DIY joystick industry has something against manufacturing cases that fit American HAPP or IL style joysticks. Everything is made with Asian style sticks in mind. That's why I'm glad I got my Xarcade Solo Stick that I modded out. I actually have 2 of them now.

@jonyfraze 3 жыл бұрын

I hear ya, I grew up in the 90s and played on HAPP/IL parts in arcades myself. Unfortunately American style parts started phasing out during the sf4 era where Japanese vewlix style cases became popular. But stay tuned, some of my colleagues are working some some solutions for your concerns.. 😉

Somewhere to add a leather handle to carry it around Place store the EX groove when I detach it Touchpad PS4 touchpad interface (if such a thing exists) I don't know if this is possible though but its just something I'm actively looking for.
