Recent Purchases and Good Finds

Looks similar to the cord I used to repair a Neo Geo AES stick.

I wanted to ask if the buttons in this stick were Seimitsu PS-14-GX’s

@Feargus001100 Sadly no, they’re just normal ps-14s

Fucking GX buttons are extinct.

Got two suzo joysticks for 35 bucks, good find for me, I own two inductive before I even owned normal suzos haha

Sega has a sale now on Humble Bundel

Tempted to get Alien: Isolation, but I’ve already got a backlog from steam sales.

The Struggle is real

paid $65 for a Madcatz Soul Calibur V TE-S
it came with optical joystick and Silent buttons. And just arrived after I sold off my VS SH stick

Which optical?

Joystick
Buttons
The buttons felt stiffer than the Madcatz VS SH

That looks switch activated not optical.

Aye, they be Omrons, sir.

Thought so, even so still not a bad deal and if the buttons feel too off for you @oldskoolgaming you can get a set of replacements off a trading thread pretty cheaply.
I wish my grey’s survived their removal from my TE2, so i’d have extras but those claps seem to be made of paper.

I believe those are silent JLF switches though. If opening it up for those pictures was the first time he’s popped it open ever, it’d probably be easy to mistake it for an optical since the switches don’t make sound.

EDIT: Just checked; the ones in the new silent JLF (blue restrictor) are D2RV-G**-SD2**s. Still, I recall reading somewhere that the sound is still greatly dampened on the non-SD2s.

Yeah its silent joystick. Soft thud as opposed to clicking sound. Im loving it and may just swap out the buttons with Sanwa and FA silencer foam pads i got

Also i just picked up a madcatz x360 se full boxed for $10. And a blaze twin joystick the owner was selling for $5 but when i arrived he told me if i did not bother opening to check he’d give it to me for free. the bus ride was $3 so I think these were really great new year presents for myself.

A Hori VX can be had for $25 free shipping on ebay. Its categorized as “for parts or not working” because Seller reports that the LT button doesn’t work but everything else does. (buttons are terrible, needs to be modded regardless) Great case and pcb for someone who wants a fun little project.

$25 for a modifiable Xbox 360 stick is an awesome price.

lol I found a mint condition black label copy of Metal Gear Solid for 5 bucks at a retro video game store a couple of years back.
