Saturn Fighter Stick mod-ability?

I found a site selling the old SS Fighter Sticks, and am wondering both what the quality of the stock stick/buttons is and how feasible it would be to swap out at least the buttons, possibly the stick.

I’m new to stick modding (but I put convex buttons on my NES controller earlier today :tup:) and I was planning on attempting to mod out my Green Goblin with Sanwa, but I like the look of this one and the position of the Start button a lot better than my Agetec. The extra couple of buttons/speed settings would be a nice bonus, too.

Additionally, with the Saturn --> DC conversion (Total Control Plus), should I expect input lag? I’ve heard good things, but that would be a major factor in my decision if its a factor.

Thanks.

The stock parts suck but from what I understand, you can mod it fairly easily. I am not sure if the PCB is any good but you can always put in a PS1 Dualshock PCB and use a lag free converter to play it on your Dreamcast. Urth sold me an almost total conversion of one a few months ago.

Do you mind sharing which site you found these on? That would be great :slight_smile:

Could somebody compare the stock parts of the SS Fighter Stick to the Green Goblin’s. If they’re equal to that I wouldn’t even be in a rush to swap them out. I learned Marvel on the Goblin and I’ve been beasting with it until my stick decided it doesn’t want to go back to neutral. Too many years w/o a tune-up.

I will leave it at this: the green goblin’s buttons at least use microswitches, unlike the saturn fighting stick

Personally I think the Japanese Virtua Stick is better than the Hori. It uses microswitches as well.
