Another New Darkside Stik!!!

[Tha-Darkside]

I've got another stik available for offers, "Champloo OJ". This one is all orange as you'll notice and is indeed all sanwa. The joystick is a rare optical sanwa flash. The stik is very compact, in fact its actually smaller than the yellow namco stick. Email or pm me with any serious offerz because it is for sell.

I like how you make sure to state that the Flash is rare, and then you use it in every damn stick you make.

Eh, I'm just bitin'. I got one of Rod's last, and I'm just waiting for a worthy project for it.

[!(•_•)!]

Um, you do know that Sanwa cancelled production of the flash sticks, right? There is almost no stock left over, especially in America. Himura has completely run out of them.

[ArcadeStickMonk]

I do know that, which is why I made sure to get one before they were all gone.

I'm simply commenting on on how Byrdo stresses the rarity amongst his own frequent uses. It amuses me.

[454Casull]

Damn... I wonder if you use the snap-ins or the screw-ins.

:clap: Indeed, I would be amused too if tables were turned. Anyway, I took advantage of the opportunity to pik up some flash sticks when I had the chance, but they are pretty rare in fact I only have a few left through a very recent acquisition. So basically I like to stress that because I get alot of emails from people inquiring about them, not realizing that they have been out of production for quite awhile, so once I run out this time then that's it, I seriously doubt I'll be able to get anymore. It's good that you were able to get one of the last for your own projects because it really is one of the best joysticks ever made.

As far as whether I use the snap-in or screw-in buttons, I use both, it doesn't matter to me. This one has the snap-in type though.

Nice stick man. Wish there were custom builders in the UK so I could snap one of these up without paying ridiculous shipping and tax on top.

[Shodokan123]

darkside... can u explain the exact function the flash has over the JLF... considering a Flash for the stick i msged u about.

[Kayin]

Very nice, loks alot different from you usual sticks. :tup:

[454Casull]

If you use snap-ins, do the buttons snap into the plastic only?

[saroorhai]

those sticks u have pics of on ur site, they are beautiful.

[Gaijinblaze]

Haha, I'd like to know this too. People seem to be putting Sanwa buttons into wood so easily these days that I'm wondering if I missed some huge secret about mounting them. From what I know, it seemed like hell to get any kind of Sanwas in there.

Great-looking stick. After all the works you've made, I expect no less.

Yea, I'd also greatly appreciate if you could mention your method for mounting snap-ins and screw-in sanwas, I've also had trouble.

[Tha-Darkside]

I don't mount the buttons in wood, I use the lexan for mounting and use wood as "bracers". Just use the wood as a frame for the buttons, if done right it works perfectly.

[454Casull]

Ah. Do you cut out tabs in the button holes in the wood so that the clips attach to the Lexan only?

Yes...for snap-ins I do cut those tabs so the wood won't unclip them. I also added pikz of another new stik to my first post.

God damn, man. Your sticks are fucking beautiful. You ever thought of doing some sort of exhibition on your shit? I mean, think about it: art and technology are so integrated these days that your kind of shit is an excellent demonstration of it. I bet you could make a shit load if young celebrities saw your sticks.

[saroorhai]

they should a special on u for G4 tv or something. Hell, you could at least send them pics. They might show them on air for fan mail or fan art or something and give you some nice free advertisement. Magazines are the same way.
