I’m ready to build my own case, but I’ve never seen or felt an existing one, how far are the buttons spaced apart?

If I were you I’d go with the Vewlix or 1 player Sega layout.
i wouldn’t be using those layouts if i were to go 24mm buttons, would I?
Also is there anything wrong with the Yenox buttons (on LizardLick)? Going to be the Select and Start Buttons.
If you don’t mind me asking, why are you using 24mm buttons?
I don’t see why you can’t just reduce the diameter of the circles to 24mm to accommodate for 24mm buttons unless you have small hands and want a more compact layout.
Is it possible to remove the shaft cover off a Seimitsu LS-56-01? I want the shaft to be exposed to go with the rest of the theme of my stick. I have tried to remove it with no luck. Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance!
The LS-56 shaft cover comes off from the bottom; you need to disassemble the stick to get it off.
For the layouts on slagcoin for 24mm buttons you have to do the math,
30/24=100/x
x= 24*100/30
x=80
add 2% for high error tolerance and accounting for nut thickness not changing.
so to make it easy you need to scale it 82%
It worked for my mini stick.

Yenox? IDK. Should be fine though. I heard the 1player versions the man decal wears off easier, but never had them myself.
Thank you!
mini stick is tight.
I’ll be completely honest with you on that. I’m trying to save a buck here and there.
hello everyone,
i have a white TE-S stick for 360 and am thinking of buying a plexi from art. i would like to use the traditional 6 button layout but want to know what you do with unused wires on the inside.
thanks
i dont own a stick, but i heard some cut them to tidy it up, some keep them in there in case they may want to use them in the future. I imagine they tape them down.
Planning a layout for the panel I’m about to make, I’d like to get a gist of the size of the SE or TE sticks. how much space is there in the following list:
-Space between the left edge and the joystick.
-Space between the right edge and the button that’s closest to this edge.
-space between the highest up button and the top edge.
-space between lowest button and the bottom edge.
At what angle is the main face sloped at? and how high is the case from the bottom edge (the side closest to you)?
Hoping these help you somehow.

I don’t get the angle I want, but having looked at that image, is the face and the base of the TE parallel? If it sits in my lap, I don’t imagine I need any incline otherwise that works against my wrists. However if I sit it on a table…
when I cut the hole for the joystick, how big should the diameter be? Fitting a Sanwa JLF
I’m thinking about building a 360 arcade stick from scratch. Constructing the chassis of the stick myself, soldering and all that stuff. Now, I’ve searched all over the place for information on how to do this, and almost everything I’ve read hurts my brain. I have no experience at all with this stuff (circuits, soldering…) other than when I replaced the buttons on my SE Fightstick for Sanwas (extremely simple compared to what I’ve been reading up).
Should I just give up now or will I somehow catch on to how to do this if I read about it constantly?
24mm.
funny enough, i’ve recently been asking question that pertain to building my own stick, ripping a PCB from an old PS1 controller and soldering new butons and a joystick and building my own case. If you’re going to rip a printed circuit board (PCB) from an existing 360 controller, check out the padhacking thread.
@jam, thanks for the diameter size.
Hey guys,
I have a ps3 SE stick and the board seems to have stopped responding. I’m thinking about getting a replacement board for it or something - at the same time i want to dual mod it for the 360, is this possible, and are there any resources i could read through for a guide to do this?
Since u have a PS3 SE you can replace the Madcatz pcb with a Cthulhu…
If you plan on dual modding it to do 360 as well you can do the Cthulhu+Imp+360 pcb combo or make it simple and just get a ChImp+360 pcb combo…
well in the end, if u r doing a dual mod you will need a 360 pcb which you will need to padhack to get (or if u can get ur hands on something like a SE/TE 360 pcb or a 360 padhack already pre-wired and such) heres some linkz for you to reference to:

hello, first post here, but i’ve been reading for about…a year or so. I found most of my questions answered by just browsing around, but i have a small request if anyone can help:
I just got the TE fightstick and wanted to do some customizations, namely of the plexi variety. I was wondering if anyone had the psd files for the full cover panel or measurements of it so i can try making a couple of mockups with our laser cutter at work. I have the te template psd file which does help for just a simple plexi cover, but i was looking for the full plexi cover panel template.
Thanks in advance!
