AJ - You might notice something on the stick that may be familiar to you. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice, you cleaned up your work alot compared to your first one. good job man. I see that beautiful white/black seimitsu button on there. lol
those loose red wires on the left of the last pic. i assume those are the 2 unused buttons that you wired anyway?
Was this for personal use, or a friend?

Thanks a lot. I really tried to keep it clean. One of those red wires curls back around to the select / back button (you can see it going to the button in the upper right hand corner where I drilled) and the other is just an extra ground wire from the T5 pcb. This is for a friend of mine that liked my T5 mod so much, he paid me to do one for him. :slight_smile:

Hey, why are you cutting into my business? im gonna have to break your knees now. lol

LOL, the guy doesn’t even come to SRK lol. It’s from one of my friends in the Tekken community… 4 more weeks!!!

realyst- its all good son. spread the knowledge of how to mod.

So heres the top plate for my next stick. I used JB weld to fill the holes in. Then i let it sit for awhile. After that i sanded down the jb until the whole surface was smooth/flat. cleaned it up, let it dry then i hit it with a few coats of clear coat. Not bad for my first time to try this.

Ill probably do this to all my sticks once they need the artwork changed(which will be for awhile lol).

anyone out there got the shaft from the stock T5 joytick in good condition?

Hey guys, finally got the parts in and finished my t5 stick. If you guys remember i made a deal with my wife. She gets to pick the artwork for my next stick or i dont get one. lol

Looks good. Take that thing to tourneys and kick ass with it, your opponents will have to live with being whupped by a “girly stick”.
And pick up a T5 plexi from Art, you can swap the art once you leave the house, take it off when you get home. :slight_smile:

thanks for the artwork btw. I still like it even though it girly. Plus i cant stand the height the plexi adds to the stick. Uncomfortable on my wrists.

Looks nice man. The last girl I went out with was so into TokiDoki like crazyyyyy.
Hit up the metal edges with a black sharpie, it actually almost blends completely with a black background.

nice, hot girls love tokidoki, so thats a good thing. thanks

Does anybody know what program I can use to open the t5 template? I don’t know what to open it with. Thanks

photo shop if its a psd file

anybody know where to get some T5 plexi that doesnt need to have a metal panel? also could I get a custom button layout there? im tryna get a umk3 stick layout for my t5 since I sold the metal panel to the realyst lol.

No way a plexi is going to hold up to the beating it’ll get through use. Sorry, but a plate under it is needed, but you could always try getting a wood or mdf backing under it to cut down on weight, but you’d have to cut it yourself, most likely.

if you really wanted a custom layout you can get a plexi made and then cut holes in the top plate where you need them. as long as the metal plate i there for support youll be ok. But you NEED that top plate.

finally finshed my second t5, here they are as a pair

I think I want to do this. I want to cover that cord hole and make it smooth and use a USB pass through in a dual modded Cthulhu / hacked 360 pad. The guy said he used clay to cover it up? Any more info or other methods to get this done? Thanks.

hey guys how do i add photos to my post? :confused: the only option i see is insert image
