i think you better get yours out before they get theres out…
I prefer the box, but my order would be international mail so more protection is needed.
I’d rather just pay for the box and the peace of mind.
Thanks for the input guys, here is the template i still may have to make little adjustments here and there but this will get you started with creating your art.
TE Replacement Panel Template.psd
sorry for the delay, my daughter has not been letting me get much work done today.
For those of you with the 6 button customs or no turbo panel customs just turn of those layers or crop the last two buttons off. All others with different customs you have been emailed your specific templates. any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks dude, super excited.
Ok guys sorry it has been a little quiet but teething babies take up alot of your time. I know the mk buttons are not in the photoshop template but they will be soon, that is just the hardest layout to get to work in the TE so i am doing a little extra adjustment for it. Also I will be coming at you guys tomorrow for deposits if you have placed a custom order. Everything is almost good to go and hopefully if all goes well I will actually have the panels by the end of the week and you guys will have them shortly after :tup:

*when i have some extra cash to buy a new TE
why thank you kind sir.
Aight guys here is the Paypal Email address you can use LLC@TheGameSurgeons.com
You can send your deposits here either for the TE custom panels or to start your DIY panel. Once my site is finished then i will start a sale thread in the Trading outlet as well, I may be extending the custom orders one day because i am working with some folks to get their orders exactly right, so that gives some people a chance to also get a custom order going if they wish.
Shipping for these will be around $10 but i am going to try different places today so i can get the cheapest shipping prices possible.

Is it possible to buy an “official” TE replacement panel anywhere?
Nope you gotta buy the whole stick thats why this exists.
That’s a bummer. I’m suprised they don’t have that option, considering the popularity.
well you’re in the right place, the game surgeon will take care of you 
Ok guys here is a large DIY panel for theBAYsics its a vewlix 7 button plus a start button.
The stick and buttons are mine he just wanted a panel with holes countersunk. This panel is actually going out to butteroj so it can be placed in one of his great customs so i am looking forward to seeing how everything turns out.
A little update, order is going out tomorrow so i will have panels soon, sorry for the delay but was just taking care of a few last minute custom orders. Will be posting up a modified photoshop template which has the mk layout and a couple of other things modified, one being the hitbox layout is more centered now because i did not like it being way to the right.
I will also be getting some test hrap panels so i will be able to include those on the next run as long as everthing goes well.
Excited to get these out soon and get some feedback(hopefully positive) and see these on some sticks.
EDIT:
also wanted to take this time and show you guys an underside pic of the mounting
the pic may be a little hard to see but together the spacers are 6mm and the shaft was 32mm last time i checked and the panel is about 2.2mm
So this joystick is sitting at 23.8. A lock washer and nut secure it tightly
awesome work my friend! i can’t wait
Ok guys photoshop template finished. Added the mk button layout, as you will see there are two different mk layouts. One is the original mk layout, and the second one is a more condensed mk layout which i think works much better for the Te.
Also guys the panels are being cut and i will have them on tuesday, would be tomorrow but he has valentines day plans tomorrow, and my fiancee and I are going to vegas to make some wedding plans this weekend, so i will start shipping them on wednesday or thursday
i have also gotten a few requests for extended TE metal panels, these would allow you te get rid of the bezel not have to have a plexi top to fill the gap, instead the entire metal piece would fill the gap. Let me know if you are interested in that.
If you missed getting a customized panel this round, you could always send me a message and i will put you on the list for the next round. Depending on how well these do, you guys can expect replacement panels for hraps and also the hori vx and v3s if there are any other sticks that you guys have that you would like replacements for just le me know, for example i have two sega saturn virtua stick panel replacements that someone ordered this time around. I had to draw them from scratch and they were a pain in the ass but i think they came out great.
Site will also be updated soon.
Thanks guys
OOPS almost forgot unless preordered or already paid in full the panels will be up by $2 for a total of $27, I was hoping that I would be able to keep the price at $25 but cannot however i really dont believe $2 will break the bank 
Nice work man!
My T.E. Replacement case ie the “VAS-T.E. or V-ST” (Still haven’t decided on a name yet but I got it down to just 2 now lol) anyway it’s almost complete, just a few more adjustments and it’s off to the laser cutter and beyond. Remember these steel plates blklightning21 is making will work with both the T.E, and my new all steel design so you’re getting a 2 in one deal here
Hoping youre going to make HRAP replacement panels also =). YESSS.
Looking forward to V3/VX replacement panels here as well.
Well if my CAD drawing skills are on point like they should be after drawing all of the cps from scratch, then i may actually have 3 or 4 hrap panels for sale this go around with more set for the future.
If you could point me at a template or tell me the length and width of it, then i can actually get started on it because it does not look hard at all to draw up, (especially after the virtua stick panel), its just like a rectangle with a 4 or 5mm radius on the corners. Once i draw that up, i can have metal cps and lexan tops as well.
Also added the DIY panel template so you can use that template to figure out where you would like your buttons placed and also to draw your art.
