hey all, getting ready to customize my first TE sticks, I’ve got two to work on.
One is a Madcatz TE (round one, I believe)

The other is a Madcatze TES+ from Tekken Tag 2

Both are xbox 360 sticks, I would like to replace the PCBs so that they would at minimum work on PS3/PS4, though if it would also work on xbox one that would be great. I’m aware of the Brook universal board, the Brook PS3/PS4 board, and the PS360; are there any other options that I should know about.
Aside from that I know what sticks/buttons I like, so I’m not worried there.
Honestly, my biggest question is what’s the best place to get two sheets of plexi for these sticks? Ideally, I’d like one to be blue and a full panel replacement, but I’m well aware that might not happen. I’ve seen several places that sell plexi for the standard TE, but the TT2 stick uses the Noir layout and I’m unaware of anyone making replacements for that stick, aside from Tek-innovations (is that place reliable?).
Finally, is there anywhere that still sells replacement bezels? the one on the round one TE is pretty goobered up.
There’s always padhacking (the hori fighting commander pad is the easiest padhack option available for PS3/4) , but that requires significantly more soldering than any of the options you’ve listed.
Yes tek-innovations is a great business, I and many others here can attest to the quality of Art’s work.
You can check the trading outlet for bezels.

Appreciate it.
I’ve bought from Tek before, but a while back (idk even how long) i was getting a malicious site warning, so I steered clear for a while.
Still think my tek case stick is my favorite one.
are there any marked benefits of the Brooks boards over the PS360 or vice versa aside from the system compatibility?
Yes, system operability on PS4 is one. PS360 has an 8min timeout for PS4 and is not actively supported by its devs anymore.

well that makes my decision easy.
Convertor is the other route you can take if you dont feel like replacing the original pcbs
