WTS: Custom Sanwa Arcade Stick(s)

Hi, this is my first post in this section. I’ve been using HRAPs until now and must say that I’m quite happy with them. But I’ve turned into an addict and can’t justify spending tons of money on a custom stick - its just silly.

So I have to do it :bgrin:

Judging from what you guys are saying, this guy knows his shit. Problem is - I’m in UK. Any hope for me?

im pretty sure he can ship to you as long as you cover the shipping costs.

I got my stick today and it’s amazing.:lovin: Everytime I use it I’m blown away by how good it feels. Quality all around.

Question:

I’m a newb when it comes to sticks, but I play fighters quite often. So, i’m looking for a stick that is both quality and can withstand the tides of time. I know sticks in general, but I can’t tell the difference between a sanwa stick and a hrap stick. What I want is something similar to that of arcades, I’m guessing they are P360 because they’re fuckin sweet, but I could be wrong. I live in NY, so I go to CTF a lot and those sticks are a dream come true.

Basically, what I’m asking is, whats a good stick/button combo, I do like convex (ones going out) buttons.

ok where to start!

UK question: Yes I am willing to make a stick for someone in the UK. Infact there are a couple of mine there already. if you’re willing to pay the postage then I can make one.

Xbox360 question: I can make 360 sticks, naturally they will come at a premium since the gamepads still cost an arm and a leg but there’s no technical limitations on my part for making one for the 360. The only limitation right now is the cost but once again if someone is willing to cover the cost I’d be happy to make them.

I’m not sure what sticks are used at CTF but some popular combinations are sanwa JLF joystick/OBSF-30 buttons, sanwa JLF joystick/Seimitsu Buttons, Seimitsu LS-32 joystick/sanwa OBSF buttons or seimtisu/seimitsu. other cross continent hybrids would be Sanwa JLF joystick/Happ Competiton buttons. A sureshot american combo is Happ Competiton Stick and Competiton buttons. more costly would be Happ P360 and Comp buttons. At the end of the day it’s a matter of taste and what you like best, if you have a chance try them all out and see what feels the best for you. whichever your choice is a stick could be made with any of those components in question.

Sticks going out this week if all goes according to plan:
Manny done
Hai done
Paul done
Ethan 90% done (waiting for your email)

2nd batch sticks are coming along nicely, parts should be here within the week then I work non-stop to get them finished.

everyone else, I will be working quite extensively to get things done in a timely fashion without sacrificing quality etc. everything will get done in a matter of time :slight_smile:

thanks everyone!

Hi Finkle,

How much would it be for Happ P360 and Comp Buttons?

Oh and I still haven’t received a reply for my email ( my email address is payback777@mail.com) should i send another one?

Thanks

please resend and when I get home from work tomorrow I will figure out all the specifics
thanks :slight_smile:

finks… I sent you the money via paypal 4 days ago… did you get it?

hey, sorry about that, I got a wave of payments over the weekend so I didnt know who was who or if I gave everyone a heads up about receiving their payment. Yes I got yours :slight_smile:
its down in the books with your specs. if possible let me know what color you want the actual metal shell part I got the stained part down just not the shell color.
thanks!

Feeling giddy like a schoolgirl

Oh shit, can’t wait to get my stick. Wish you ship it soon, lol. =)=)

I knew you were in great demand, but after me, it seemed that people were going in great demand for you.

Maybe you should establish a quota on the amount of sticks you’ll do. Shouldn’t overwork yourself just for joysticks.

Can’t wait for mines and keep up with the work!!=)

you ever though about making a beatmania IIDX controller? I would be intrested in seeing you do that.

email resent to noely.w@gmail.com

wow, if possible could u make a custom color’s with your product, do u make these for the xbox also?

just finished these within the past few days, I got a few more to put up, its been a very busy month!
