Good stuff @Graymalkin. I swoon like a Belieber every time I see that Science Stick. That might be the cleanest upgrade to a SCV TE I’ve seen too.
@iNENDOi Thanks! Coming from you, that’s high praise!
Far too kind, sir.
Weird. I bought my SCV HRAP NX from @"Running Wild" and he sent an extra cut with similar art. I asked him if he had the .psd so that I could recreate it with the original assets because I really liked it a lot. He didnt have the .psd but had some high quality image files which was good enough. I recreated the art and that is what you see today. This design was originally done by @Titan_X. So, I’m bored at work and go back in time in the “Check out my arcade stick” thread and come across the post made by @"Running Wild" when he finished his update of the SCV NX. HA! Dude had the same buttons and balltop that I used. Aqua PS-14-G. Quite the coincidence.
@"Running Wild" 's post: Check Out My New Arcade Stick! (No Image Quoting)
Man I miss that SCV stick. Just not the art modding part lol.
I superglued all the nuts in place so they don’t fall out anymore. These cases are really better being opened from the bottom for most things. Now that there’s a Hayabusa in it there is no removing the top with out unplugging the harness so the bottom has to be opened anyway. Thanks again for hooking up the images. I didn’t want to recreate that logo.
Let’s see:
- Pelican Real Arcade (PS2/XB/GC)
- X-Arcade Dual Stick (with PS2, XB, DC, GC and PS3 adapters)
- 2X PS2 Real Arcade Pros (One Sanwa Swapped and One Seimitsu Swapped Buttons)
- PS3 Real Arcade Pro (Sanwa Swapped Buttons)
- XB360 Real Arcade Pro EX SE
- 4X SFIV Round One TEs (2 each for PS3 & 360)
- SFIV Round 2 TE (Dual Modded from 360)
- SDCC '09 XB360 TE (No. 212/250 - Signed by Daigo and Mago)
- 2X TvC Sticks (Sanwa Swapped all parts)
- Hori SCV PS3 stick
- TTT2 WiiU Stick
- XB360 Injustice Stick
- PS3 Hori VLX (Cthulhu Dual Modded)
- Hori VLX Diamond ( PS360+ installed)
About 19 sticks.
Used to own:
- 2X Hori Wii Fighting Sticks (sold them)
- 2nd PS3 Real Arcade Pro (gave to best friend)
- Qanba Q4RAF Black (stolen from car :/)
- 2X Cheaply Built Pelican Universal Wireless Sticks (just regifted them)
- XB1 Killer Instinct Stick (broke after one week returned to GameStop)
Would’ve own 26 in all.
Thanks - I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Sam is a legend!
Had a lot of requests for the art over the past couple of years. If anyone wants to download it:

Add one to the collection. My first Namco. This thing has some battle scars but I really like the stock parts on it. The knock off PS-14-G buttons feel just fine to me and the joystick might be slightly tighter than a JLF. Am I right?

I love this thread, it makes me feel better about my habit. Seeing inendo’s namco stick reminded me that I have a non-functional namco stick and a non-functional hori Saturn stick. Also, I need to pick up the Lindbergh-Noir and Astro-Astro panels from Jasen–I might pick up a wide body PFS at the same time. Potentially 25 sticks by weeks end–but I might also trade a bunch in at estarland too, will update.
1 stick and 2 keyboxes:

here is one of them… the image was CNC routed into the top… still early in the build but heard from others that he put a bartop finish on it…
i got 4 really old custom sticks. 2 are japanese and the other 2 are happ. one NHTran aluminum blue stick with seimitsu and ps360+. 1 TE Rnd2. 1 old ass hori x360. 1 modded SE. 1 Q4RAF and my pride and joy, eightarc synthesis (even though it makes squeaky sounds when you use the stick and buttons). so that’s 10? i lend out my sticks for years to friends too.
i gotta agree with Dracula_X, it’s a slippery slope indeed.
My face
