Dev- mod is the same as custom IMO. People modify their joysticks. I customize peoples joysticks.

Nope, we (Tech Talk) established long ago that there was a difference between a custom (a.k.a. a custom built stick) and something that was modded.
Here, the term comes from the fact that these things are ācustomā built for people from scratch.
the same logic that most places that sell aftermarket Honda Civic parts do. As you modify it you ācustomizeā the stick closer to your wants hence the customs part.

I think what d3v doesnāt get what is custom, ie: the panels (this panel seems pretty custom to me). I am also glad to see there is someone out there offering custom panels.
As much as I love to debate stuff. Iām going to agree on ācustomā being something made from scratch. And now im just backing away.
Thanks Slaycruz but just x-snay on the custom cases-nay brah. Lol
Semantics. Forums. Never the twain should meet.

If you wanted to make one, you could melt a sheet of pearloid into a mould, trim the flash, tap hole and insert brass threads, then sand+polish to finish. You could also make a rod of pearloid and turn it on a lathe.

didnt even know this type of plastic existedā¦definitely something to look intoā¦i wonder if melting it will ruin its structure thoughā¦or if its even a plastic that can be meltedā¦from what i remember some plastics can only be molded once where as others can be reheated and molded several timesā¦
i dont really trust painting something which will get used a lotā¦ive seen people paint stuff years ago and it wares off over time, i even painted an old airsoft gun and it wore off after a few monthsā¦maybe i will give it a go if i cant mold/buy a pearl ball thoughā¦appreciate the replies guys
How did you like working with the case and going from there?
I am thinking of doing the same thing, with a new Blazblue port coming to PC sometime next month.
Thanks Yenjoi.
The Ball top one is rock solid there is another one I linked a long time ago. Buy a blank and give it a shot if you have apprehensions about doing it. It works though. I did one a year ago and everything has been good no wear off for paint or anything.

Epi, you must have the creepyest games room going, with all these sticks haha
Also, what holds theā¦ermā¦stick(?)ā¦in place?

Basic screws and nuts. Though there is a curve, I can still anchor it down at the tangent points.
Also - my games room is pretty ordinary, if a bit messy. Unfortunately, I donāt have that much money to keep buying new parts (buttons, wires, pcbs) so I have to cannibalize them from my previous sticks.
I still need to find a proper mount for Skelebox though - the masking tape to the ceiling aināt cutting it.

Why is the layout reversed?
Also, are you the same guy who did the Dakimakura stick?
