If you have any questions, let me know!

Interesting.
I have an old PS3 TE Rnd1 that was given to me a long while back that I never use. The TE-S sides are highly tempting to pop them on.

hibachifinal · January 14

this really is a great surprise! I was hoping for Clear (non-smoke) colored sides (to match the clear bezel and clear dustcover, etc.), will that be a future product update? :3 *wishful thinking

also is it just me or those model pictures have JLF Link on them haha

Hustle Kong · January 14

Nice! Any plans for black?

I was hoping for noir metal panels, but this is great! :)

phaedrus · January 14

My wallet. It cries.

DanAdamKOF · January 14

In for a set of black and white TE-S sides as soon as you start carrying black. I'd get white right now but I want my sticks to match.

TheWooWooKid · January 14

Shipping & handling for a single dust cover set is $9.33!!!

MarkMan · January 15

The Chun-Li TE-S does have side panels, though.

Solder · January 15

Markman, Noir Panels please!

I must have missed the thread on this, but aren't those side panels super annoying to remove?

If I remember correctly, kinda.
You pretty much have to disassemble the entire case from top the bottom, and the side-panels will be the last parts you remove from the core middle sections.

PaperTigre · January 15

Not really, you just need to take the whole TE apart. It takes some time, but it's hardly annoying.

GunBuster · January 15

Will Madcatz be selling the side panels at SCR this weekend?

Yes we'll have all the styles/colors there.

Galthrojh · January 15

Pricewise... well. That's kinda expected.

..but halle-frickin-lujah :D

MarkMan · January 15

I think the pricing is sound, IMO. Especially if you look at our overall pricing strategy.

Galthrojh · January 15

Yeah. You know what, compared to some other things, it's really not too bad.

what about us across the pond in the UK?

we never get opportunity to buy.....

slaycruz · January 15

As a few have mentioned...is there a chance of replacement panels in the future ? The sides being available is too awesome....great stuff markman

gahrling · January 15

When will these be available in the UK?

x24 · January 15

The smoke ones look awesome. Any chance for smoke bezels?

HanSoo417 · January 15

I was thinking about painting parts, but this makes customizing so much easier

Afro Messiah · January 15

This is great news. Saves me some work I was going to do on my TE round 1.

Exand · January 15

Judging by the comments above, the TE-S panels fit in the older TE Rnd 1 cases correct?

Also, +1 vote for black TE-S sides!

xpulse · January 15

There's probably one thing people want more than the panels and bezels, and that's replacement cord compartments :). *I* personally have all mine intact, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who could use that option. $10 maybe?

That's correct.

I would like the peace of mind of there being cord compartment replacements in white, in case I screw up my Femme Fatale stick while modding it.

Freesway · January 15

I'm assuming we can use the TE-S panels on regular TE sticks, correct?

Yes, sir. And vice-versa.

mendopnhc · January 15

Be even cooler if they shipped over here to New Zealand..

Markman any idea why they don't?

Dihnmohr · January 15

Are any european retailer gonna get these products?

Nucking Futs! · January 16

Those smoke side panels should've been stock on the WiiU TTT2 stick to match the grey bezel!

MarkMan · January 16

Everyone asking about outside of NA sales, please hang on. We're working to get them in other places, but as for now you have to order within North America or have someone courier them for you. Sorry.

Mno · January 16

Black Black Black

Hustle Kong · January 17

I bought a red and a blue set, for my undoubtedly lame Star Wars theme stick idea.

MarkMan · January 18

These come packaged/boxed. Check out this pic:

kikimaru024 · January 18

Finally, our late-adopting brethren can make the TE look its most beautiful :)

scaleworm · January 21

So I'm poking about the mad catz site sticks area and y'all have EVO sticks again?
I though they were a limited run?
What's up with that? Just what is a limited run then? Was I duped?

MarkMan · January 22

It was a limited run. We never restocked them, that was stock from the initial batch.

scaleworm · January 24

Thanks!

MonoTekETeA · January 24

Hey Mark, I am sure this is in your plans, just reinforcing the community need for it.

At APEX, I was at the modding table with Gummo on and off for all of Saturday. We had about 3-4 individuals come by asking for replacement cable compartment covers. That should be the next thing you look into stocking.

Thanks man, keep living the work life dream!

DanAdamKOF · January 24

I've had MadCatz send me cable compartment covers when mine broke.

That said, these were all black covers for R1 TE sticks. I actually wrote in and asked if they have any white covers (I have a Femme Fatale stick too) in case something happens, and they said no.

Hustle Kong · January 24

Just got my side panels today. Good work on the color!

I'll update with pics tonight.

I really appreciate this kind of product support, even if I'm not getting my noir panel wish. ;p

Here's the two sticks I added these to:

Yeah, Gummo told them to contact Mad Catz, but people just aren't used to Godlike customer service.

Hey are you guys gonna get the clear blue TE side panels to retrofit the Chun TE? That stick would be absolutely perfect with the matching original spec side panels.

MarkMan · February 16

No plans for other colors yet, but keep the requests coming. I do case studies/keep track for future parts/accessories.

Any further news on this - particularly regarding the sides?

slaycruz · February 17

I would like to see clear red, blue, green.....then yellow, black, and purple on the solid for sides.....

kombatmedik · February 17

Hey Markman, how long are the arcade stick sales going to last on your site? I was thinking about grabbing the PS3 MLG TE stick, was just curious about how long it was going to be on sale for 99 bucks.
