** Akishop.jp is now OPEN **

That’s really nice of you to offer to pay for his order even though you’re not obliged to. Once again excellent customer service from Per. Shekeib, hopefully your stuff comes in or you can work it out with the USPS. You never know though because maybe it got stuck in customs? Although they would let you know if it was.

800 HANDLING FEE?!!?!?! OMFG WTF?!!?!?

Seriously though…I’m surprised you don’t charge more, honestly. I wouldn’t apologize to anyone here, Per. I imagine none of us has any idea the amount of work you put into this project, so I for one appreciate it and still think it’s a bargain, even at 800.

once again…this is a great way for people to get/make modified sticks for theirselves…thank you agaiin realneogeo! Question though for any of you…i have an hrap…and I want to disconnect the little 2 prong black connector from the hori buttons…do I just use force to get it out? it’s fucking hard and I’m a newb to this stuff…any help would be grateful…thanks!

Okay I will be ordering from you probably by the end of the week, and I have a question, on the official semitsu site I found two shades of green clear jstick balls, and if I want the other shade, if I sent you the pick of it with the one I want boxed in, could you get it for me?

There is only one green, the other is supposed to be yellow. No idea why Seimitsu (and Sanwa) use such shitty pictures on their site(s)…

^ Hey, thanks, I mean, it really looks green.

Gentlemen…i give you…Urien Stick v2.0

All seimitsu parts…and i got rid of the front start buttons and put them in the back part of the joystick…where they belong ^____^.

Sorry about the bad quality pics…had to use my phone’s camera…its decent.

I called USPS and I need some kind of tracking number or something.
I’m pretty sure the same is with UPS.
What should I do?

Yo Per, what’s up with the current order? It said March 19th, but it’s been 3 days now and there hasnt been any pictures or tracking information posted?

the black thing is the microswitch. if you are just changing the buttons, just take off the wires that are connected to the microswitch and put the new button in and plug the wires onto the new button. the quick disconnects at the end of the wire may not be easy to remove off the old buttons, but just use cautious force and maybe a pliar to do it.

if you just wanted to remove the microswitch from the button, you have to remove the button from the stick and then take the top part off of the button (the plunger?) by pushing in the tabs on the side of the bottom part (the bezel?). once the button is in 2 parts, you can just push the microswitch out through the top of the bezel.

People ordering from him need to know 2 things.

  1. He is very knowledgable about sticks, but this isn’t a “how do I mod it now” thread, post another thread or put the question in the Sanwa mod thread, and I’m sure he will answer if someone else doesn’t.

  2. Be patient, some of you are wondering why there are no pics after 2 or 3 days, give the guy a break!

Just my thoughts on what I’ve seen that would annoy me if I were trying to do something for the scene as good as he has.

Amen there ParryPerson. This man is a hrdworker and tries to make everyone happy. It takes time because there are so many orders and whatnot. Everyone be patient. He won’t dissapoint any of you. He is VERY reliable and an honest person.

Nice stick! Love the buttons :D.

Can you ask them if they store unregistered envelopes that was not delivered? The AirMail don`t have any registrationnumber.

I sent all orders to Sanwa / Seimitsu 19th of March. It will be shipped on monday I think (next week) or maybe this weekend.

ParryPerson.
It is ok. Pics will be up in a few days.

Thanks for the kind words. However, like I said a while ago, never trust anybody other than yourself, including me. I could take all your money and run away but I will not do that because I am not that kind of a person. Remember QCF-sticks? You never know who you are dealing with over the net, there are thiefs all over it.

I really appreciate the info, thanks! Yea, I’m afraid that I’d administer too much force and bust the damn thing…thanx!

k ppl…my finished products…

Again…this wouldnt have been possible without TRNG’s great parts…all seimitsu is the way to go ^_____^…hope these pics encourage ppl to mod their HRAPS/TEKKEN 5 sticks.

Thank you for getting my order in so quick (I’m Mr. Kelsch from Canada). Can’t wait to get the parts in so I can build me stick!

Per, you should update your “Services” page to reflect the new handling fee just so people who don’t read this thread aren’t surprised.

TRNG, I went to the post office, went through a bunch of shit, and finally got it.

So, don’t worry about it anymore TRNG I got my stuff (with japanese newspaper and all)

I don’t blame TRNG in any way for any of this, he’s very reliable. I do suggest to future customers to just use EMS shipping instead of Airmail.

Shekeib
Did you really get it? I pay gladly if you did not get it. If you can, please send a pic of it.

Best wishes!
Per
