The Official Custom Arcade Sticks Thread

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone was selling Black Competition Buttons. If anyone is selling a set, I would appreciate it if you would PM with the cost of the buttons.

If not, then does anybody know where I could get Black Competition Buttons?

Thanks.

I honestly hope you saw the links in the first page.

theres already voltage coming to the pcb dude, its the blue wire, wire the 5v wire to that!

My apologies…

Thanks.

gamecube controller and japanese ballsticks

hi, i’m wondering if anyone knows a faq on how to make a gamecube arcade stick or where to order japanese style sticks (with balls instead of bats)?

i’m asking specifically about the gamecube controller because of the digital click. i want to have gamecube specific sticks for CvSNK2 and SC2, but i don’t see anything online about gamecube sticks at all.

btw, are the hori SC2 sticks a decent replacement for custom arcade sticks? because i found them for $40 on play-asia, and that’s about the cost of putting together a single custom stick (if i were to buy everything including tools). if i could get that, then i’d be pretty happy too…

Go to the arcadecontrols.com and there is a new project where someone made a GC arcade stick using the Wavebird pcb (wireless arcade stick) .

** To all T.O stick builders**

Alright I got a pretty good deal for all you T.O peeps. I tried building my own stick (well no building of any kind occured :smiley: ) but got too lazy and i dont want to invest the time to start it. I am looking to sell the following items as a WHOLE PACKAGE so if anyone in T.O (or close to Guelph) is interested pm me.

  • 22-16 .187 female quick disconnects 100pcs
    -Marksman solder iron, lighted, 25 W, 120V
  • solder viles (i think each vile has 5 or 10 ft of solder) x2
    -hook up wire 22 gauge/25 ft. x 2 (silver and yellow)
    -vellman digital multimeter
  • 2 pcs of black velcro
    -1 pkg of 1’ brads (30 i think)
  • 6x3/4 wood screws (13)
  • broad hinges x2
    -p360 joystick
    -6 competition buttons
    -1 horizontal button (the start button)
    and i’ll throw in the wood and a ps1 dual shock(white) controller for free

Now all this shit cost me about roughly $220 cdn all together and that includes the tax and shippin and iam looking to get rid of it at $150 Cdn. So if anyone interested pm me and we’ll work somthin out. if i get no offers it’ll most likely be available to the rest of you guys so i’ll post again if it is.

thanx
oh and to everyone that bought a stick from snaaake; are the sticks worth the money?

To all T.O stick builders

you could talk to the dudes bought from me ! :smiley: :cool: :smiley:

i have 2 questions

. i bought a p360 but i lost the shaft to the stick. can i stick a broom handle in there and will everything work okay? i wanted to clean while i played on my dc…please help, i’m stumped…

one mroe thing, i cant find a powersource for the p360 either…and i broke 3 multimeters trying to find it… can i strap a car battery inside my joystick? will everything still work? i need serious help.

btw, i read every single page twice and still couldnt find an answer…pm my ass and tell me how stupid i am…

lesson of this post: some people just shouldn’t build sticks.
:wtf:

anybody having any shipping problems with Happcontrols lately? because i ordered 6 comp buttons, 1 player button, and a competition joystick in 5/27/03. I still haven’t recieved my order. And when i check my cart, it says my cart is empty because i assume it’s already paid for and ready to go. But when i check the order status, it says my stuff hasn’t been sent and no invoice or anything. I paid with an American EXpress credit card. This is my first time ordering from Happcontrols so i don’t know what’s going. Please email e at Shironeko327@aol.com or PM me or AIM me at ShiningWizard327. thanx

sanwa sticks?

anyone know where to order sanwa or other ball/knob type sticks? the sanwa site is in japanese, so um… that sucks… but i really want one.

J-ride: i wanna thank u for answer my soldering question a while back.

Today i finished my arcade stick i have compeition stick and Convex bottuns on it and i used an original DC controller. Let me tell you. O_O u have to have a very steady hand to solder that shit!!! the L and R sensors ar so fucking small!!!. But alas after 2 days it is complete :smiley: now i must add artwork to my stick :smiley: ill try to get some pics up :slight_smile:

Oh and KOF freak i orderd from happs and i live in Puerto Rico it only took 4 days for my parts to get here and that was like a week ago.

then WTF did i do wrong? i gave them my credit card number and everything. Maybe i got confused because it’s very different ordering from Happcontrols than any other website I’ve ordered from. But i thought i did everthing right. I e-mailed to see what’s up so hopefully they can explain.

You are welcome, and good job, I never even bothered because I opened one up and said “Fuck this” and got something easier, I guess you just have big hairy balls.

KOF Man: I just got my order from happ and it took ALOT longer than usual, I ordered about 2 weeks ago and didnt get my order till friday. So I dont know what the problem is, email thier customer service and see if they have your order yet.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

you can get the j-stik, its like a sanwa stick… at www.ultimarc.com
shipping is alot though.

as far as happs is concern, you should have an account there right? well log in, and check up on your order status. If it says they are allocating the items, they are “making” it i think.

I ordered from Happ controls but I did it over the phone.

I keep things as simple as possible and the way they have their shopping carts set up is so fucking gay.

Just call them and ask.

I e-mailed Happcontrols asking what was going on and they e-mailed me back. The problem was my credit card was declined (the credit card is actually my mom’s so i didn’t know) but I don’t understand why they never told me this earlier. If i didn’t email them first, i probably would have never known my card was declined. Oh well…i’ll just make a custom stick when my other Agetec stick brakes.

j-sticks from ultimarc

does anyone know how these compare to everything else? i heard the sanwa sticks were really expensive, so seeing similar sticks for $15 kind of makes me wary.

if anyone can suggest getting the j-sticks, i’d probably buy it. for a pair of arcade pads w/ that, it would costs something like $110 for all the parts (gutting redoctanes for their casings).

Hey what are the best box dimensions I can use if I’m trying to make it stable, sturdy, and small as possible. Im probably going to be using 8 buttons, either a J-stick or a Comp stick. Please help.
