Lol. Thanks. I got the plexi off and I just realized I might be able to make my own at work. I’d just have to do it after hours over the course of a couple days and I’d have to break these magnets out of the original plexi but I think I might be able to do it. I’m just not sure how smooth it’d be after I buff it.
Yeah and it worked perfectly fine on my Mac and my brothers PC. I’m assuming PS3 works fine but I didn’t get to try it because I don’t own a PS3. I paid $140 to send it to Gummo for the PS4 padhack. You can check out his thread here. If I had the ability, I could’ve saved myself some money and done it myself but I really don’t know how to do any of that kind of stuff.
You can get neodymium disc magnets on ebay for rather cheap, just take some calipers and size them; I believe they’re 5x1mm or 5x2mm. Machine the slots out on a a drill press, and press them to fit.
Yeah, lol. I went the expensive route. I hate the way all the PS4 sticks look and I got a fat return this tax season so…I splurged on myself.
And I got lucky because I bought the stick when it was $60 and a 25% discount ($45) off Amazon and my cousin is selling me some of his spare Sanwa buttons for cheap.
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend doing it my way if you need it MOSTLY for PS4 compatibility. Unless you have Sanwa parts already and are doing the padhack yourself THEN it ends up costing about the same as a new PS4/PS3 stick. I still play Ultra on 360 and a bit of Skullgirls on PC so it’s not like I’m strictly using it on PS4. Damn, I just realized it’s only a bit longer until I’m pretty much strictly using it for PS4.
That all makes sense Yeah I know how that goes I bought an SE SFIV stick for $30 (mostly wanted an inexpensive case, and I like these little cases) then ordered a Commander 4 pad from PlayAsia for $53 and then $34 for a stick and buttons (sanwa). That’s $117 for a stick I’m not even really using right now. I mostly play Ultra on PC and KI on the Xbone. But come 2016, I will most likely be playing exclusively on the PS4, unless I decide to get SFV for PC. I really enjoy playing at my desk on my 27" monitor and also having the option to play on my laptop if I need to move elsewhere. It’s going to be a though decision, I might just get the PS4 version first and the the PC version when it drastically drops in price.
In short, I really didn’t need the PS4 stick, I just wanted it
I e-mailed John Choi regarding using my stick at NCR and sent him a picture of my stick after I opened it up, took out the buttons and filled the holes with some acrylic. He said it would be allowed as long as I can prove I can’t activate the macro setting if my opponent were to want the on-site judge to check my stick.
I’m waiting for a response from whoever handles the Evo messages and as soon as I figure out who to contact regarding SCR I’m going to ask them, too.
This isn’t the exact photo I sent but it’s one I just took after I touched-up the acrylic this morning
Why don’t you just get the Mayflash stick they are taking about on this thread? Its $80 (20 more than a ps360) and already has a case, buttons, stick, wires, etc, etc.
This stick is awesome, seriously. I was floored at how well designed it is, and for $80? No question about it, this is the best budget stick ever made. It could sell for almost twice as much and still be worth it for being PS3 + 360 compatible.
For those of you wondering, you can use the Link with the stock stick, though the C-clip is a bitch to remove. I may end up replacing the switches in the stick since they take a bit of force to activate, but past that I don’t have any issues with this thing.
JLF-TP-8YT is what you want, flat mounting plate
Along with a wiring harness like this
And any 30mm snap-in/screw-in buttons from Sanwa/Seimitsu will work
