so i bought a stick part (an actual stick). and the metal part that goes into the actual stick is messed up. the top 2 prongs are out of place. if i move them will it still work right. it won’t fit in the slot at all. here is a picture. it also looked worse than in this picture.

thank you for the responses in advance :slight_smile:

You can bend them back into place.

my only concern is that if i do that it won’t work. can’t believe i forgot to mention that in my post lol. i would to like to hear from someone if they had to do this.

Relax, unles its an extreme bend it wont break the pin or the electric connection. (i did a 90 degree pin bend on a stick that would not fit in the case)

okay thank you. my next question is where do i find the pliers. lol thx

You should be able to do it with your fingers.

What is the stock tension on the LS-40 spring?

Just use a small flat head screw driver.

  1. Are there any commercial sticks out/or coming out that support the xbox 360 and the One both?

  2. Can someone help me find 1 or 2 V-16-1C5 Omron microswitches (Came with original JLF with quick disconnects) online to purchase? Can’t find them anywhere!

  1. No

My friend wants me to build a stick for him, and I want to make sure I’m doing it right. I plan to make him a Tek-Case, and he wants it to be compatible with PS3 and 360. So I just want to make sure: does the PS360+ support PS3 and Xbox 360 naturally, or do I need to gut a PCB from another controller?

PS360 supports what your friend needs it to support. No other PCB’s necessary.

I’m thinking about getting a new monitor, I currently run a Viewsonic VA2232vm and it’s been great for five years. But now I’m weighing options and I decided to go with an ASUS this time. What’s the difference between vs228h and ve228h? The latter is cheaper on ebay due to it being a refurb, which I’m okay with btw.

Thank you Darksakul, but the link you provided gives an error :frowning:

Weird it works for me

Don’t try to copy and paste, just click on the link and see what happens

I am thinking you copy and paste the link and missed a portion. Best I could figure.

For what its worth the original worked for me when I clicked it yesterday, repost too.

I’m thinking about switching back to stick, and I’m curious to how the Sanwa JLF would operate with both a Kowal actuator
with 2lb spring, while also having a circle gate installed?

I’d like to play mostly Tekken on it, but also play some 2D fighters like KOF or Persona.
I want to adjust getting back on stick before investing in a Crown, but I also want a stick with cost-effective
customization before burning too much cash.

A “bootleg korean” stick if you will (Shoutouts to XBL_Punisher1564) before investing in the real thing.

Okay, that was a long question but any thoughts on the matter? Thanks.

One last question: I’m starting to become a fan of the carbon fiber covers, so I was thinking
about buying the vinyl material to cover the TE metal layout of my stick (with the SF4 stick off).

There’s so much of it that I don’t know which brand to use, or more to the point reailble and
long-lasting. I heard 3M was pretty good, but what’s a good recommendation to start with?
Thanks again.

I ordered and received it but havent used it yet. My intent is to cover the metal top plate of a dreamcast agetec.
