Removing the washer on the Se madcatz stick

well i finally finished this mod to save the pcb from the washer of death in the Jlf knock off in the Se stick from Madcatz or should i say “Madcrapz”. and lets just say this, getting the restriction plate off of the was bad enough but trying to get the Eclip was fucking impossible! i had to just end up cutting the washer out. thank god i had some shears. but at the end of this…50 minuet mod my thumbs are sorer then the knees of a flint town whore. was it worth it? idk if my pcb won’t get scratched after a month then i say sweet. but have you guys had as much of a problem as i had?

I just simply replace the madcatz stick when I got it.

Anyone have a picture of this washer? I just got my girlfriend this stick and am interested in removing the washer as well

That e-clip can easily be removed by pushing down (away from the clip) on the JLF’s actuator, which eases the tension abit, so that you can take a small flathead screwdriver or needlenose pliers and pry/pull it off.

Just removed the washer. couldn’t get past the eclip at all. After a few cuts I raged and just cut the washer off. Stick works fine. Feels slightly different than before. But not in a bad way.
