Man, I’ve been waiting. One bug I had was clicking “24mm 24mm” for right side of front panel, nothing appeared. I clicked it again and it was okay, the holes showed up. Don’t strain yourself, art, it worked fine when I tried again. And I’m guessing the weight panels still have to be added. Or maybe I just can’t find them :sad: Also, I don’t know if it’s a bug, or an improvement that needs to be made, or something that you haven’t finished yet, but the “Your Text Here” nameplate isn’t changing text. It’d seem like it should. But, again, I don’t know if that’s just because it’s beta. I would like to see this, though. I wanna know if all caps or only one capital letter looks better.
Nice, looking forward to ordering this as soon as I can can. Quick question, any word on the side panel templates? Or am I just to slow and missed them on the template page?
You’ve done a ton of work on that template site :tup:
I put together a mock-up of my stick my wallet doesn’t want to be your friend hehe, and I didn’t have any browser issues or glitches (using IE in Win7).
Out of curiousity, how are you planning on doing the add-ons like he additional brackets for adding weight, the corner pieces, artwork, etc? You planning on putting that on the same page, a secondary page, etc?
On another note, when you do the site update - are you goinng to add pictures of all the new plexi? I’m curious with comparing ‘mirror purple’ to purple, as well as other color match-ups with having different ‘types’ and hues.
- :bluu:
well, you just killed my productivity for a little while. :lol: Just one question. I don’t suppose you have any way of doing color comparisons, do you? I’m trying to figure out how the purple plexi (all of them) compare to the purple PS-14-KN and PS-14-K buttons, which are different colors themselves. sigh
Well I can tell you because I just recieved my purple PS-14-KNs and bubbletop last night…the picture Art showsof the purple with the purple balltop is the exact same purple as the see-thru purple button. I do not tink it will really work with the snap-in style purple ones. TBH…
- :bluu:
I actually sent arthong my Purple PS-14-K.
Got my grubby hands on the template. Beginning work on my masterpiece.
That said, do these still have the option for using BBs as weights?
I’ll be playing around with this when I get home this evening.
Thanks for the feedback so far guys!
Etching is possible, but it requires a lot more time. I may offer this later, but it will actually come at a slight cost due to the extra setup time required. When doing the name cuts, I can cut the piece and the letters at the same time. But with etching, I need to make the cut first, then peel the cover sheet off, then align it to a cutout template then do the etching, and etchings take more time than cuts. So while it can be done, it’ll have to be something on the side as an extra later.
- It’ll still be 10-14 days (likely to 14 being busy). But I really can’t give the final word on this until I see the incoming orders. In either case, I will bust ass!
- Shouldn’t be. I’m pushing my supplier to get me the purple mirror by next week. I will still have it offered at launch.
And I’d like to see how your cassette turns out. Sounds like a great idea!
That can be done, but considering I’ve never used one of those connectors before I need to make sure there’s only one size for it, and I’d have to procure it first before I can make the cut. In any case, that will have to come later with all the things I have to do in the next couple months.
Thanks for your insights. I did notice the dropdown may not populate the image right away, but like you said it just takes trying again so I’m not too worried about that at the moment. And knowing that my hosting company isn’t the best, there’s possibilities it’s being slow some time so it may take another try to get things showing anyway.
Weight slots aren’t in the builder. I’m going to add that as separate item to add to the cart. The slots won’t have any options for button holes and they are sold in sets so for now they will be additional items. I had thought about adding them to the builder, but I didn’t want someone to select one side and forget the other. I could add some restrictions and such, but that would take more production time. So for now, expect them to be separate items.
As for name plate text changing, I had considered it, but due to the production time to make that happen I scratched that for now. The font to properly portray the text changing needs to be a stencil font that I’m using. I would have to create a gif of every single letter/character in order to make the change work. I know I could use CSS3 to make it work… BUT, that would require no one to use IE… yeah, not gonna happen, lol. I will try to post at least the font list for the Stencil font to show you what’s available.
Side panel templates will be coming. It will actually be a set of all the side panels (Front, Back, both sides). I just need to arrange it on the template so it will align with the printer cuts, hence it’s not done yet.
The additional items will be listed in the category page. What you’re looking at right now is the page you will see After you click on the TEK-Case product. So it’s just like if you went into the TE Products page, you’ll see a list of the available products. In that section is where you’ll see the additional items related to the case. Then you click on the item and you can add it to cart. Similarly when you click on the TekCases, you will come to a page with descriptions and a link to go into the case builder.
And yes, pics of all the plexi will be available =)
Yeah interestingly enough, I just got JDM’s PS-14-K, and he happened to send me Purple! I think he’s psychic… But yeah I’ll try to get a pic up on it when I can.
Yep, they’ll just be on a separate page =)
How much extra will they cost. I’m trying to figure out my budget for these things (especially since it’ll involve international shipping, as well as an MC Cthulhu and ArcEyes).
Looks like my case would be about 90 bucks. I would be more than happy to grab one of those except for that (as you have mentioned earlier) there is no option to cut an area for the turbo/guide part that is on the TE/SE sticks. The main reason I want it is so that I can still toggle between PS3 and 360 using the MC Cthulhu. I know your cases aren’t made to replace the TE sticks or anything. I just think it could be a great option to add later down the road. Cases are looking great Art! Can’t wait to see how they grow in the future!
I’m guess you doing the Console Switch doing the LS-DP-RS Switch.
Since arthong not making room for that Turbo, you can just do the switching with Start, Back/Select, Guide/Home, whatever.
Do you know if it is possible to use the guide/turbo/stick selection via 24mm buttons? And if so, are there any tutorials? I did really well on my MC+IMP mod, but I had detailed guides and patient posters (such as yourself) guiding me through the process.
Guide and Turbo can be done with Buttons.
But for LS-DP-RS, you need a Switch, and not Momentary ones either.
What do you use the LS and RS for anyways?

There are other games that I like to use my arcade sticks for such as Mega Man 9 and 10, LIMBO, etc. Some of them cannot be played with the DPad toggled. It has to be Left Stick. I really try to use an arcade stick for as many games as possible.
Oh.
Ok.
Cool.
I don’t have any of those games. :sad:
I’m very ignorant when it comes to arcade sticks and I’ve not been following updates very closely for this stick, but I’m very interested in buying this, so I’m sorry if my questions are rather stupid:
-
What exactly do the “Etching” options for the front, top, bottom and back panels mean? I thought it had something to do with the name plate, but I would think that would just apply to the front panel.
-
The wire slot for the front panel is what would be used for a USB cable coming from inside the stick, correct?
-
The “Inner Border” is the part in the red color, correct?
Thanks.
Etching for everything except the Name Plate.
Yes, cable slot.
Yes, Border.
Thanks, but what else would be etched? Images and such?
