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.

Got a VSHG that I'm restoring and currently use a V3-SA with plugged L1/L2. I can't stand 8 buttons.

V3-SA has OBSF-30RG and a LS-58-01. IMP v2 and 360 fightpad PCB for dual mod.

This will probably stay as my primary 6-button stick.



I didn't forgo the functionality of the other two buttons of course.

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.

As for inside pics, I didn't take any but there are some in this thread:

This is a repost of my 6-button ghetto stick. Dewalt box, parts are from x X-Arcade, and a $5.00 pcb from deal xtreme. Works on PC & PS3.

I just bought a Hori SCV stick, you mind sharing on how I can do that too, w/ "simple" house tools? PM if you don't mind NotANoob

But anyway glad I found this thread, here's mine that I'm actually gonna sell soon.

Since my eBay snipe attempt has failed, I guess I don't mind putting this up here and back into SRK's consciousness.

Came last week....

The stick, not the cat.

Converted a EightArc Fusion to the six button way. Chuu thanks again for art work

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.

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:

Yours is my sticks less colorful cousin.

My two babies. The top one is only six and obviously the Eightarc was eight but i'm not a dick so I made it a six.

P.S. added this thread to the directory.

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.

That's neat. It would be cool to use the cartridge bay for cord storage .
Do the power and reset buttons do anything?

Don't mind the button cap, it would be insulted if you called it 7 buttons~

yesterday a friend of mine gave me this:



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.
