You using a table saw to cut lexan!! Hand drill?
I used to do the following: Score the plexi, then snap it. Now I use a jig saw to cut plexi using a blade to cut metal (lots of teeth). I use power drill for the holes, but in reverse, for the buttons and joystick holes, 1 1/8 spade bit regular (not reverse) with the plexi flushed with some type of board behind it/beneath it.
lexan != plexi…
–flux
Lexan, plexiglass, and acrylic are all different. They have different properties.
I actually use acrylic these days. It’s cheap and it’s easy to work with. I don’t really have too many problems with it. Scoring and inducing a forced break along a line is easy if you have a sharp edge and steel straight edge. Hand tools work fine to cut shape and drill through it.
If i use a ps1 pad for a PCB. A really old one i had since i got the ps1, are there any chances the PCB will fuck up on me because its so old?? or does that not usually happen??
Controller pad wear
The normal things to go bad on a controller are those damn rubber nipple things with the contact pad. They go bad with time after extended use. The cords also get woundup and torn over time as well.
PCB’s almost never go bad unless you have a severe short somewhere and somethings starts burning on one.
So in other words, NO… you should be good as long as you take care in mounting it well.
koo thanx alot armad1ll0
ATTN ALL!
Do not every get the quantum fighterpad for hacking purpose. At first i was like oh this’ll work, 6 face buttons! It turns out the 2 extra face buttons are jab and short when the controller is set at default. I’m wtf??? and they call this a fighter pad?
ATTN ALL!
Indeed…
Hey man,sorry to hear that.I should have posted about my experience with quantum fighter pad ! :mad: :lol: :mad:
I tried couple of days ago and nothing worked.Button were programed all by itself and stuff…
Everyone,AVOID this pad at any cost !

hey everyone! i’m new here and i’d like to get into stick making (although i’m completely new to it all…). i typically prefer japanese style ball topped sticks so i was looking on ebay and i found this:

Couple of Questions
Hey everyone. This thread is truly kick-ass! I’ve actually read all of the pages (but forgot some of the stuff in the beginning :P). I have a couple of questions: 1) This will sound stupid, but I can’t properly put my Competition stick together. First, I would stick the pivot cylinder onto the shaft. Then I would put the washer on the shaft and stick the whole shaft through the hub. At the bottm, I would put the Actuator, but the shaft is not long enough to put on the E-Ring. Am I doing something Wrong?
Second question: Is there a way to completely disconnect the Analog function in the Dual Shock Controller for the PS1? I’m only the controller because it works with the Nyko Playcube adapter for the Gamecube. The analog is a problem because it center or neutral is not really center, and I wont be able to turn the Analog off unless I make a button specifically for that, but it’s kinda useless.
Thanks a lot for all the useful information! I’ll post my stick whenever I finish it.
very well done thread sticks these days are just getting way too pricy. Im thinking about building one but have no clue how lol now i can learn some shit

Read the thread.
im trying to use a sony PS1 pad for a PCB for a stick. so i scratched off the black rubber stuff of the contacts but for some reason i cannot solder on to the contacts at all. all the solder goes onto the soldering iron even after i tip it and all i get on the PCB is this brown gooey looking stuff (im assuming thats rosin). so what can i do about this??
Try using soldering flux. Yeah, that brown shit is rosin.
If there is already brown shit on it that is the soldering flux put into the solder for you so you dont have to use flux. Make sure you tin the wire it makes a huge difference. If that doesnt work sometimes putting a little solder on the contact first can work too.
alright thanx lol i should read then post
Does anyone know anything about hooking up some sort of audio to a controller? I know I’ve seen some controllers with headphones jack to hook up your headphones to listen to the game without having the tv up, but don’t know if any exist with the modern systems.
Where I’m going with this is this… I want to hook up some speakers/sub-woofer to my 2 player setup. Like those Magikkastle 60 inch screens at some arcades.
