Hey, i’m new to the whole building your own stick but i modded my snes pad so it had the Street Fighter 6 button layout when SF2 Turbo came out on Snes.
Anyways, to start off, i’ll show you some concept renderings of the stick. It’s a Naki Ultimate Fighting Stick that i’m adding plexiglass/Perspex and artwork to as well as Sanwa parts.
I’m also writing a tutorial for it as i go along, you can follow that here
I’m trying to decide on colours for my buttons, hence why i made these concepts. I think i’m going to go with the Ken one, since he’s my main character.
Looks like a quick way to get carpel tunnel syndrome with that stick. And, really… the same Artgerm Chun-Li again? Going with stock Ken is better I guess.
Eh, Artgerm is alright but probably one of the most overrated deviants out there… and it’s not nice any more when one out of every 3 sticks has that same exact art.
I highly suggest not using this stick… seriously, that has got to be very uncomfortable to play on from my view… maybe you have E.T. fingers or something, though.
I’m talking about the button layout. It just goes against the natural curvature of your hand… isn’t it forcing you to stick your elbow out to one side and bending your wrist when playing on it? If not and you’re not experiencing issues, more power to ya…
Personally I’d put that extra white button (which I assume is start) as the 4th button on the first row. I think I would hit that on accident more often if it was by my jab. But it may not be a problem for you.
Hey Derkoi, I’m modding the same stick at the moment.
Let me know how you get on with the perspex as I’m considering going the same route only retaining the salect and start buttons and allocating a guide button somewhere else.
I’ve got a few good (different) designs mocked up as well if you are interested.
Cool, yeah i’ll let you know how it goes. I’m covering over the select button as i never use it, and as you can see i’m gonna add the guide button over where that naff clear plastic light thingy is. lol
Yeah i’d like to see your designs.
I think i’m gonna go with the ken design with the white and red buttons. I’ve ordered my parts but there’s a bit of a wait involved so i recon i’ll prepare everything else until the parts arrive.
i have one of these modded with a ls32 and 6 sanwa obsf snap ins connected to an xbox360 wired pad and its great.
i use it rested on my lap and left the coloured tile in there for the weight and it seems just about right, i’ve only had an ex2 to compare against and it feels much better than that, in relation to how uncomfortable it is to use, it doesn’t feel any more awkward to use than the ex2 did (i only used the last 6 button holes), i have found that both joysticks are uncomfortable to use for a short while but isn’t too bad, i am also new to using sticks so i don’t know if it is normal for your arm to ache when 1st using a stick.
oh & i left the original start & select buttons in place and used them, i have had 700 + fights on this stick & never once pressed any of these 2 buttons by mistake.
Not to derail this thread or anything, but I’m trying to mod this stick as well at the moment, and I’m having serious problems getting the Seimitsu LS-32-01 I want to put in to work. If it’s not too much to ask, do you think you could give me a couple of tips? Sorry to bother you, but I’d really like to get this thing to work…
