Looking for Rubber Contact Pad for Madcatz Fightpad

Hello all. I’m looking for a replacement for my dpad’s contact pad or whatever it is on the inside. A piece broke off of it and I don’t feel like buying an entirely new fightpad to have it break in 6 months. I can’t seem to piece it back together either. Any tips, links, or sellers are more then welcome. Yes, my pic is my controller. Again, I am not looking for the black part on the outside, but the clear/black thing on the inside. Pics if needed. Thanks.

I have many of them.
Because being a Modder, it happens.

I just sold two entire controller shells with the insides and screws to another person that was in your situation. It looks like these controllers are faulty. It is the white/clear rubber part just below the d pad inside the controller. The rubber peice will tear and they don’t seem to make contact with the pcb after a while. This reminds me of the faulty washers on the SE joysticks lol.

I have a few as well. If you want to stock pile more let me know.

i beleive this is what you are looking for right? My last customer wanted the d pad rubbers only, but i gave him the entire thing (shell and all) for both controllers.

i have 4 sets of those as well haha

YES that is exactly what I’m looking for, but I only need the D-Pad one, my 6 button one looks like it’s brand new. One of the rubber buttons tore and I need a new one because I can’t seem to piece it back together and have it work. If you don’t want them I could remove them off your hands, or you can pm me a price. That seems like the only problem with the controller.

If anyone wants to pm me a price, just do so because I might stock up on these this will never happen again. Depending on the price I just might get more, ya know?

I don’t have any more left. All i had left were two of them and i sold those last week. Whenever you need a part of any kind, make sure you check with the moders here in SRK before you buy another brand new of whatever “broke”. There’s no need to buy another controller if its an easy fix by replacing the broken part. As a moder we almost always have spare parts lying around the house. I don’t like to throw away anything because i know someone might need a spare part some day and i can help out a fellow SRK member save money.

call madcatz customer support… they will give it to you for free

I’ve had 3 madcatz pads break on me this week, that makes a total of five. In all of them the rubber d-pad piece has spilit or broken. :frowning: I think that since I’ve started using Hugo the circle mashing destroys the rubber pretty quickly. This coupled with the lousy shoulder buttons makes me think that Fight Pads really aren’t fit for purpose.

I emailed madcatz in the UK twice and didn’t get a reply. Has anyone got a reply from them? Are there 3rd any third parties that sell pieces to fit these pads?

lol, i got a bunch of these too from pcb extractions :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone?

I have a bag of 10 sets or more. If you’re in the US, $5 will work. Let me know

If your in the UK hit up b15 he might have some laying around…

jamesepoop: That would have been lovely if I had not already bought some from someone else. If I find someone who needs some i’ll keep you in mind.
BlindWithOneArm: Nope in the united states.

Moonwhistle, I have contacted them and they said that they ran out of replacement parts recently, but i’m in the U.S so I don’t know about the UK. As for third parties, ^ I’m sure someone here could help you out…

I’ve sent you a message. Thanks.

I am in the UK, are you referring to a member here?

Madcatz UK eventually emailed me back and said they don’t have any spare parts for Fightpads.

yes B15SDM he is a builder in UK that might have what you are looking for. send him a PM

Will do, thanks for the tip.
