The how to mod your SFIV SE Fightstick FAQ

people have said to try needle nose pliers, they should do the trick, just make sure to pull from the metal part, not the actual wire…

Is there something I can put over the the LB and LT buttons at the most outer part of the fight stick? So that I only have a total of 6 buttons. I see some modded sticks have something black over the two buttons so it wouldn’t be an empty hole. Was wondering what that was and how to do it.

lizardlick sells buttonhole caps, they are pretty cheap, and if you replace the artwork on your stick you can cover them up so it will look seemless.

kinda off topic but is it true that the next batch of sticks comes around june?

I heard mid-late April, but that is probably wishful thinking

Thanks Hoodboy, so if I plugged the two holes in the SE stick. Do I just leave the wire inside the stick for those two buttons in the stick, maybe tie them up or just remove the wires completely?

Tape the QD’s for the buttons you removed to the side of the box with electrical tape. That way they have no chance of accidentally making contact and registering as a button press, but you still have them hooked up in case you decide to go back to an 8 button setup again.

Hello Sileighty I have a question:

Oki, I understand that…

…but the store dosen’t have them any more so can I use this model?

JLF-TP-8Y-SK (info. link)

I’m new in this hobby and on this forum…and I don’t want to start bad and get a ban…:confused:

Thank you.

Later Edit*

Ups! Nevermind :slight_smile:

I just saw hoodboyz2008’s reply on the 32 PAGE :slight_smile:

how good is that standars joystick the SEstick got? the buttons are crap, but how about the joystick, replace it right away?

The stick has crap micro switches and loose washers that quickly destroy the stick!

my washer is stuck, got mine today, how about the micro switches? tell me what’s wrong with them?

They’re spongy, each one has a different feel to it (some firmer than others, some click more) and wear out FAST!

so a JLF would be in place huh?

Today at work I read all 33 pages hahahah,…

I still have a few questions.

First, I saw a pic posted of an Xbox 360 stick with a blue light coming from the Guide Button instead of a green light. Is that an easy trick?

Secondly, I’d like a little more information on the Cthulhu PC/PS3 Board.

Could someone describe the installation? Zombie stated he just “glued it in”. So you attach it, and then do you put in new wires?
What wires go where?
Is this a replacement for anything already stock in the stick (PCB?)?

When all is finished and successfully installed,… does the Xbox Start and “back” function as Start and “select” for the PS3? Does the Xbox guide button act as the PS guide button? I’m assuming an Xbox headset isn’t going to work for the PS3,…

thanks for the time and patience. :wonder:

For anyone interested in where to solder on the PS3 SE PCB for the Home button/ to Guide button. Here’s where

Got my SE stick a month ago, used it for some online match and did not like it so I decided to order some parts from Akihabarashop.jp and it finally arrived today. Modded the stick, went online and all I gotta say is that I’m in love with my SE stick now. :lovin:

I opened up, remove the original parts and put in Seimetsu LS-32-01 joystick and Seimetsu PS-14-K buttons.

The only hard part for me was putting in the PS-14-K buttons(the snap in ones)…because it was just alittle bigger then the holes for some odd reason… but just alittle hard push and the button went in fine.

I’ll post some pics soon! thank you Sileighty and everyone for this great thread!

i got my jlf 8Y today! since it did not come with a mounting plate, i had to strip the screws off the stock one, which was such a bitch to do…I went to a local hardware store and asked for 4x M3 10mm long screws for the plate, which i read from a few pages back. But when I got home, the screws easily slipped through the mounting plate and the jlf >.< Does anyone know the right size screw i should be looking for? thanks!

se stick

Saw a couple SE’s at my local frys (san marcos, ca). they seem to have raised the price by 10 bucks, not sure tho.
