Here's my newest 6 button stick...it's so pretty :D Case by NiteWalker, art by Michael Turner, photo shopped by me.
Haven't checked this thread in a while, but after coming back I notice a trend where classy, attractive and manly men have that cluster of three buttons off to the side. ^_^
Seriously, though, nice stick. The wide case looks great for playing, though it might be tough to bring over to a tournament.

i've never used it to play, haven't finished wiring it up yet..lol. one day..
Got myself one of these during my Japan vacation when the guests at my hotel decided to hold a little private tournament (found a really good deal at Akihabara at Y4500, which is like half the price at Yodobashi):
Of course, after I got home I couldn't let those ugly multi-color buttons remain...
I felt that the black balltop and buttons really made the stick "POP", but what about the wire? I didn't want it to be flopping around without a compartment. The solution I came up with was a little elastic material and velcro:
I think it looks good:

This is super cute. Thanks for sharing. How do you like it? Mind posting inside pics?

I actually like it a lot. It's lighter than most sticks, but that also makes it more portable and easy to lug around. Parts are all Sanwa, and considering how cheap it is I was surprised that the buttons were attached with quick-disconnects instead of soldered. Overall I think this is by far the best "budget" stick in the market. Definitely worth picking one up if you have the chance.
My order from blklightning finally came through, and I gotta say after putting everything together I am very happy with the result. It's got that nice tri-button layout to the side that I love (8 buttons is dick, but I don't wanna plug up the holes cos you never know when you'll need the buttons for menu navigation or whatever) and I feel that the layout I made works a lot better with the Q4 form factor than my V3 SA (which I already thought was nice). Oh yea, pics:
I talk a bit more about the details of the project on my blog.

I thought I should join the club.
My Six button NES Stick. :D
(It wasn't working no more, therefore I wanted to tribute it <3 rather than sending it to storage)
Don't rage on me D:
there is not enough 6 button sticks around these days...I have a collection of fightsticks and only one of them is a 6 button layout..vewlix are unecessary and it may be wierd coming from myself to make such a statement as I am a real big advocate of the qanba range.
I post this as often as possible. My original custom from Nitewalker i got back in 2006. still works perfectly i just switched the buttons for red sanwa RG's

That's neat. It would be cool to use the cartridge bay for cord storage .
Do the power and reset buttons do anything?
Now I'm must think what can I do with this thing, it only has 6 buttons, maybe a 2player panel for Sega Dreamcast since it's the only "playable" console that I know with only 6 buttons..or maybe I can build a Megadrive/SNES controller.
