So, top to bottom, that’s back/home/start, then the L3/R3, then the 4 shoulder buttons, then the 4 face buttons, then the 2 analogues?
Would a 3rd stick be worthwhile for dpad controls too? Or a hitbox layout?
Some tech talkers are working on a single analogue stick atm to work with smash bros, which might be a good resource for whoever gives it a shot.
BIIIIIIIIIIG EDIT: I’ve gotten really into this idea since reading it and had a good snoop around.
Found a company called Quasimoto do/did a range of analogue arcade sticks:
They appear on sites like AbleGamers (great charity for finding solutions to disability-specific gaming difficulties) as a solution for people with cerebral palsy etc
Finding one to buy seems pretty tough, the Quasicon website and every link I can find that leads to a shop for them has dried up, but it’s clear that they’re out there and there are a few of them. Again, maybe asking on AbleGamers would be a good shout, to see if anyone has one for sale. The last one on ebay went for $41 and a custom job won’t come near that price.
Would love to see someone on TT give it a shot though.
The thum style analogs work OK for me, they would need to be of a grippy material so my finger doesn’t slip on them.
I have a PS3 on which I play only fighting games with the Hori Fighting Stick 3 I manage to use relatively well even though I don’t like the buttons position:
As for the Quasicon, I had one years ago but the thing was massive (10lbs on my thighs, ouch I think the max I could take would be 4 to 5 lbs), the sticks were somehow strangely responsive (delay?), and the buttons were curved inside which was not very convenient for me (I’d prefer flat or rounded for a better feel of it).
I got a response from Jason at GIANTSWORD, any of you guys could do such a stick?
Basically, yes. Shipping the stick back and forth if something goes wrong is going to be expensive and slow. There’s also potential time difference and currency issues.
Thanks Darksakul, looks fine but the analogs may just not be placed ideally for me. Actually Jason from Giantsword has agreed on building me a custom stick, I’ll post photos when I’ll get it!
where at in colorado are you located? I have a namco stick that I tried modding and I can’t even get it back to stock, so frustrated considering I went and bought supplies to mod the stick.
I suppose I can be added. Albuquerque, New Mexico. Don’t have any pictures at the moment but I have worked with Jasens’s Customs, can do nice clean wiring (netted and heat shrinked). I have done LED mods with the Kaimana controller board.
