Sanwa Silent mod with TE sides Cushions

Ok guys I know that everyone it’s getting hype with the new Sanwa Silent buttons just like I was before.But Sanwa wants to charge 4.50 for each buttons because they add a little cushion on it,that’s a no no for me. So I try to use a Qanba Q2 side cushion ( The same material as the TE side cushions but instead of black it’s white ) I did a couple of tests and it works beautifully. I’m now rocking on a toodles sparks and my custom silent sanwa buttons :slight_smile: So go ahead and try and see for yourselfs.All you need it’s a Hobby Knife,scissors and The TE/SE side cushions or something similar. Make sure it’s a thin layer tho,it takes a few practice to get to a perfect size.Let me know later your Feedback. :slight_smile:

Dem toddle sparks.

Is this the same as what is going to be sold at focusattack? You posted this after another silent mod thread I wanted to know if this was good as or better. Is it the same material?

I don’t think it’s the same material tho.But sure works. I’m not selling then. I’m just letting people know a easy and cheap way of making then. :slight_smile:

The problem with that foam is that it will break down… Dont know how long those will last but i am willing to bet not too long.

The ones that mabans is heading up wont break down…

Let’s say it would break down after a while. Only 1 side of the TE cushions can produce a lots of those silent cushions. Take a look of the picture of his and my cushion. It might be the same material but a little thicker,but the thickness depends on How you cut it. It work just fine for me and I decide that it would be cool to share with the FGC. I don’t know How much Malbans will charge but it shouldn’t be that much.So it’s worth buying from him. In another hand this mod it’s perfect for those that live in other countries and those people that have more then one Arcade Stick and don’t want to spend the money buying for all of then tho.

I can tell you that they are not the same material. I have a set of his… They are not made of foam and wont break down.

I get that you are trying to help, but if someone tries this, and they stop working after a couple days they might think the same would happen to mabans stuff…

I ain’t not encouraged people no to buy from Malbans. I’m going to buy later on myself from him or If Focusattack end up carring his stuff (As long it’s not price). Thanks for the info about it not been the same material. This’s also a alternative that people can try it out now while waiting for the Sanwa Silent to be release or Malbans starting mass produce then as well for those that will not be able to get their hand on it because their circumstances.

This is not the same Material. I’ve been doing a lot of research, almost 12 months, on how to make these work properly in a cost effective manner that trickles down that gives a excellent alternative to Sanwa’s new silent button.

Why is this guy even gettin flack. Back up off of him. He said it was not the same material. All he is trying to do is share a cheap, pretty much free option that he came across for people to try out. He didnt say dont go buy from the other person selling.
Sometimes I dont understand SRK.
Thank you for sharing BBB :tup:

I just did this and it does dampen a lot of the sound! I didnt get it cut perfectly but the sound difference is there

Thanks for the inexpensive tip

No problem.I’m glad that I can help :slight_smile:

Thanks for the Feedback. I’m glad that this tip it’s helping others. Some people my think that it’s silly at first but it realy does and it’s a material easy to find.

Cool man. So It’s lasting long after all. Thanks for letting as know that it’s lasting that long and you haven’t had a problem with it. :slight_smile: :tup:

No problem. Let me know if it works for you if you ever try it. Thanks. :slight_smile:

WOW where is all this bullshit negative crap coming from?!?
no one was craping on BBB for doing this… where is the flak? this was being compared to what someone else is trying to give to the community and comments on this thread wasnt trying to bash BBB for what he has done to resolve a problem many many people have asked in the past…

you need to back off… no one was saying that he was trying to sell on this thread either… ED was pointing out that the foam was tried and wasnt happy with the results… there was a way to make it better and it was in the course of diffrent material. read the whole thread brother… there was no flak there…

theres nothing with people trying to be helpful… what is your excuse for not saying anything about how to deaden the noise if you had done this ten months prior… could of saved a lot of time and effort by some to improve on the issue…

LOL WOW… really??? what did you get out of that statement that needed that?

theres few of us that try to help the masses here in TT and crap like this shows a pretty ungrateful attitude from you lurkers… this shit makes me wonder why I havent stopped trying to help out on this forum…

read the whole thread and try not to see everything as negative…

Preach on brotha.

haha so it took someone to call you out for a better explination than “lol wow” good for you… commenting that you have also done this ten months ago dont take a lot of free time with photos and documenting… so good timing on that one… glad you came out of silence to give that helpful comment…

second- you read the whole thread… where was anyone getting annoyed with the tips BBB presented… other than the fact that it was tried and there are results that BBB also was curious of since he was happy with your comment on being done 10 months ago… where was someone annoyed with his tips on this thread… you must of read somewhere that this was a concern to another project… I havent seen it… maybe you took this a little too seriously…

Third- yea REALLY… there are very few that have tried to help here… BBB is one of them… what was not good enough?

sounds like he was taking the info on the foam he used for this mod… what was this to you?

more info on the foam… what was diffrent? because one person said it broke down and you didnt… other than that… still more info for the mod… but obviously it was trying to say that BBB mod wasnt good enough… not that “this was tried and it didnt work too well for me”… but thats just me reading into things…

Cleared by ME?? haha get off my dick man… cause I help out with projects dont mean I take much of this stuff serious… theres drama that shoudnt be there I’ll call it out… but I could care less about anything being cleared by me… nice ending to a post tho… I think I’ll turn it into a sig…

haha yea… I dont have kids… good thing you caught that… you figured me out… good to have you around…

Why are you guys fighting on BBB’s thread? If you guys wanna argue take it to a PM or just drop it, its not right to thread bomb like this. this is a help thread and you guys invade and argue over something so petty. The FGC makes me sick sometimes. Its embarrassing.

Thanks BadBoyBrazil for the tip. I think I cut my foam too thin but it works better than stock.

Yesmaster taking this out of proportion but the read is good! I agree that your comment was trollish. Joe has a family too btw.

Joe you need to drink more beer. It did get negative as you say but their opinion on a subject is still their opinion.

Has anyone tried expanding foam? You might need to dremel but that could work. no?

I add a video. I hope you guys like it :slight_smile:
