That strawberry ball top is incredible in real life! So jealous…

I know some people love Seimitsu parts – I only care for the joysticks and bubbletops myself – but the colored plastic in the ball handles just doesn’t match my 30mm pushbuttons!

Seimitsu plastic always seems a few shades lighter than the Sanwa counterpart. Their red is equivalent to Sanwa verimillion, and so on. It looks faded and never matches!

Also, like the Hori balltops, Seimitsu balltops are shorter. They’ve got a broader (flatter) base where they screw onto the joystick shaft. Just doesn’t look right even if you can’t tell the difference when playing.

My order got shipped, thanks.

PCB #1 will be out later today, will post info here in maybe 10h…

PCB #2 will be presented here next month or late this month.

PCB #3 will be…

Your package arrived ;), so nice man!
Also, your package with the connectors and catalogs was sent out just so you know ;).

Yes, sorry for the wait. Hope you get it soon.

so u spent 77000 which is the equivalent of $915 USD.

oh my:wow::wow:

Somebody came into some mad money! :karate:

haha no it was only ¥7000 so $83.23

I think it was 7000 yen on the original “dark mesh” Sanwa ball top.

The current meshballs have semi-transparent white mesh on them.

Aki was auctioning off rare out-of-production first generation Sanwa meshballs.

3,000 Yen for Pink.
5,000 Yen for Green.
7,000 Yen for Strawberry.
5,900 Yen for Seimitsu Buttons.

And the new PCB is…

New pcb arrives in the shop! It´s the LEO PCB, SECOND VERSION (V2)!
This PCB was made and produced by Gummowned.com and designed by Akihabarashop.jp to help people mod their arcade sticks with the Playstation 3 sixaxis pcb so people can play wireless as easy as possible.
Leo V2 makes your sixaxis pcb common ground so you can have a simpler type of setup inside your stick and be able to add one or even two other pcb´s for a complete common ground setup of three pcb´s in total.
Hooking wires up to the Leo V2 is super easy, just use the terminal blocks on the Leo V2 and screw in the wires and you´re all set.
For help on how to connect the Leo V2 please look at the tutorial pictures below.

Please watch the small video:

Oh my goodness.
So Gummowned was in the works with you?

That was so undercover.
And no wonder Gummowned commented on my items.

=D So that’s where Leo V2 was going! Awesome! That is super-clean! And that’s a nice touch on the 3.7v battery. Are you going to be selling things like the 4PDT switches as a possible bundle deal?

I still think you should make a Strawberry Shortcake stick though
:slight_smile:

Per won’t tell me what the other mystery pcbs are though.
:frowning:

In Per’s second link shows whats being included in the kit. We will be selling the 4pdt and lith ion cell separately.

Damn… I was going to get few things to mod my wireless t6 from your store, and was going to pm Gummowned about the availability of leomod… Now I can buy them all in one shop. Perfect timing to impulsive buying…

I hope the tutorial pics work for you people, I made them pretty high res.

Yes, Gummo let me work with him a little, he is a super guy if I say so myself.

Like Gummowned said we will both be selling 4PDT switches and batteries. More info on this on Monday next week :).

If you can do it yourself by all means please buy them at akishop. It will be in the store on Monday together with 4PDT switches and batteries.

Oh my lord if the price is right I may purchase one and give it to gahrling to solder for me.

The components will already be soldered on the boards. You’ll be able to make just a wireless ps3 stick without any soldering at all. Any of the other setups will require soldering.

I added rotation picture also so people know, depending on their setup, how to connect the joystick.
