I'm just going to ask this here. I hope this is the right place. Where is the "best" place to purchase buttons from? I need to replace mine and I am looking for a good shop to purchase these through.

Be sure to add me, just make sure you let me know where you found me.
Sounds like the joystick it self (or one of the microswitches in the joystick) are sticking.
It does sound like that, yes. But, I assure you, that is not the problem. So what dictates how the stick behaves? What piece of plastic in there makes the directions happen on screen?

I need help. This concerns dual modding a xbox 360 madcatz round 2 TE stick with the ChImp. After installing the ChImp, all functions of the ps3/pc worked great! When plugged into an Xbox it also worked, but there were a few issues. First issue: I cannot navigate the Xbox guide with the joystick. All of the buttons work fine and the Xbox guide button works fine, but I can't seem to move around the home and store. It is stuck highlighting just the game. Second concern: When the stick is set to DP, and I hold down on the stick, if I press or hold roundhouse, it disables my down input on the joystick. Instead of crouching roundhouse I get standing roundhouse. My last concern: some of the joystick directions have a delay as if I am holding them longer than I need to. This especially happens with left and down. If I hold left for 2 seconds, then go back to neutral, my character will continue to walk left for another second. Please help me. Any advice would be helpful. I would like to try to save this stick without having to replace that board with a Xbox fight pad pcb. I honestly don't know what to do at this point. I disconnected everything, and then organized the cords inside, and then reconnected a different chImp, and the issues still occur. Worse part about it is that this isn't my stick... It's one of my friends... So I really need some help.
Hello.
I'm about to use bakelite to make a new stick, and i'm not sure what to use to cut it.
It is a panel of 350mm x 460mm x5mm, and I want to cut in in 2 pieces (350mm x 230mm x5mm)

I don't have too many cutting tools.
Just a hand sewer, dremel, small grinder and jig saw.
Does anyone know what is best way to cut it?
Thanks.
Yeah I am familiar with bakelite, it is a awesome old-school plastic and when I say old school I mean early 20th century plastic. Its used in old fashioned radios, its still used as material for break pads.
For Power tools, you want diamond tip blades and tips, if you can't get diamond tip carbide blades will work too.
And work slowly with using power tools. For your dremel invest in some diamond tip bits/cutters.

The modding 101 guide says to connect the ChImp SMD to the Xbox 360 PCB. How exactly do I do that? Do I need some sort of wire splitter or something?
Why was the guide/home soldering difficult?
edit: Also, after I get the ChImp SMD, is there anything else I might need? I just bought a bunch of soldering tools from Amazon so I think that should be covered.
Most hardware stores and glass suppliers can cut acrylic to size (or close to size), but they will not drill holes. Many will cut your acrylic for free, take advantage of that to get the general size.
Use a scoring device, a square and a yard stick. The Square is to maintain your cuts remain straight at at 90 degrees. The yard stick and scoring device it to scratch grooves that you later cut along or if you groove deep enough snap at that point. use files and sand paper too smooth edges
For holes, clap your acrylic on top of some wood (to drill into) make sure your acrylic is completely flat yet supported. Then use a step bit to drill your holes.
Ok, so I've been playing fighting games for a while now, but I've never been great. I'm a southpaw, and I usually play cross-handed out of necesity. It's not comfortable, and I am pretty certain it affects my gameplay. Now, I have acquired a TvC stick, and a Soul Calibur V fight stick. I'd like to try modding at least one (if not both) so that the stick is on the right. Pretty much, when I have brought this up people are like "oh, get used to it.", or "just flip it around." Turning the stick around means I'm pulling down to jump. That just makes things harder. And, since I've been playing cross-handed for almost 15 years, and it's still not working, "getting used to it" isn't exactly an option. With all that being said, I'm wondering how easy it would be for either of these sticks to be swapped over. I'd like to know before I start opening cases and seeing wires are too short and such. I hope this is the place to find out. Google has almost nothing in the way of southpaw mods.
Yes the ball top screws on. And yes both joystick brands uses the same size and thread for their ball tops. Sanwa and Seintsu tops are interchangeable. Only the Sanwa bat tops and 45mm (Freaking huge) ball tops need a bat top adapter to fit. Only the Sanwa JLW-UM-8 Joystick can't accept normal ball tops, it can take the bat tops and 45 mm ball tops without the adapter.
So i need help finding a pink translucent shaft cover and dust washer for a JLF. anyone know where i can find one (us based preferred) thanks :D
Art Hobbies at http://www.tek-innovations.com can make custom dust washers. Transparent Pink isn't an option (yet). Mad Catz at their online store http://store.gameshark.com sells various color dust washer and shaft sets but their pink is not transparent Focus Attack sells Sanwa brand Transparent dust washers and shafts but they do not carry pink.

So you want to do a southpaw mod, it is completely possible. What you need is ether a custom replacement top panel or a custom stick case with the top panel that allows for the joystick to be on the right. The wiring for a southpaw mods are identical to the more traditional layouts. Depending on the stick you might have to extend or replace wiring to be longer, which should not he too hard, just cut and splice your wiring, you can use but crimp connectors or cut and solder and cover the expose wiring with electric tape or better yet shrink wrap. If you got crimpers, redoing the wires for buttons are not hard at all, and some part stores offer pre-done wiring with disconnects on one end of the wire.

Yes this mod is completely possible. Other than the legnth, the wiring is the same for a south paw as it would be for the regular style layout. What you will need is a replacement top panel. The TvC stick would be out for this kind of mod since no one does Mad Catz SE/Brawl/TvC panels. So you have to go with your Soul Calibur stick. You can order a custom acrylic panel from Art's Hobbies http://www.tek-innovations.com

I looked and looked, and even those who do customs do not make a transparent Pink Dust Washer and Shaft Cover, at least no one I know in the US. Mad Catz on their online store http://store.gameshark.com sells a opaque pink dust washer and shaft set.
Yes all ball tops that Sanwa and Seimtsu make are screw on. Sanwa and Seimtsu use the same size and thread for their 30mm ball tops. Both brands can use tops from each other, so your Sanwa JLF can use a Seimtsu pink Bubble top. The exceptions are Sanwa Bat Tops and Sanwa 45mm ball tops that need a bat top adapter and the Sanwa JLW-UM-8 joystick, which because of it's thicker shaft only accepts the larger sized bat tops and 45 mm ball tops.

South Paw mods are completely possible. For a Southpaw mod you basically need a custom made top panel. You be hard pressed to find a custom top panel for the TVC stick, unless you know someone who can do sheet metal work and do it well. The Soul Calibur V stick would be your best bet. If its the Mad Catz Soul Calibur stick you have to cut out a middle layer so the joystick can fit on the right side, You not have the same issue with the Hori version of the stick.
Art Hobbies at http://www.tek-innovations.com does acrylic replacement panels for the Mad Catz TE and the older Hori Hrap sticks (Hrap 1,2,3 and EX). Blk Lighting does customs for various stick with metal panels. But he does his orders in batches. So you have to wait till he ready to take orders again and there is a wait for panels.

Yes all 30mm ball tops that both Sanwa and Seimtsu makes are screw on. Sanwa JLF series and the Sanwa JWL-TM-8 joysticks as well as almost all the Seimtsu joysticks accept the same ball tops. Some of the eceptions exceptions are Sanwa's bat tops and Sanwa larger 45mm Ball tops as they require the bat top adapter to fit and Sanwa's JLW-UM-8 which only accepts bat tops and the 45 mm ball tops.
Unusual joysticks such as the Sanwa JLJ (flight stick), the Seimtsu LSX-57/ LSX-57-01 (flight sticks) and Seimtsu's LSX-31 (top button) to not take ball tops at all.

Quick question........ What size are the Wire with Quick Disconnects that is found in almost all of those Mad Catz and Hori sticks nowadays? Or the ones that pretty much everyone uses and is the most common. The size that fits the typical Sanwa OBSC/etc.. buttons. Is it .110 or .187?

I've been trying to get my Xbox fightstick (Madcatz TE S) to work on my laptop, but the thing refuses to work.
I've downloaded the drivers needed to use it, but for some reason it still doesn't connect. My guide button lights up for half a second before turning off again.
Hey guys i was wondering if you could help me, I've been trying to find a template for the Street fighter x Tekken V.S. edition stick but i cant really find one in the stickies thread since it came out last year and the stickers are from 2 years ago. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! thanks!

So, I wanted to thank everyone for the replies to my question. The last question I have is, and this is more for clarification than anything else, can I not just unscrew the plexi off my SCIV stick, and flip both the plexi AND the metal plate? I know I wouldn't have any artwork on it, but I just want to know before I start looking online for parts. Thanks again.
I'm sure this has been asked before, and I would not be asking if it weren't for the "new and unimproved" SRK's vastly unimproved search functionality, but...

I'm pretty sure there's a mounting bracket welded to the metal plate that would be on the wrong side.

Wait, shenanigans here.
The answer you are looking for is 0.110" for Japanese buttons. (Sticks that require QDs and Happ buttons are, to the best of my knowledge, 0.187".)
However note that 0.110" * (25.4 mm/inch) = 2.79 mm; 0.187" * (25.4 mm/inch) = 4.75 mm

As for where to get your artwork printed, there's a variety of routes you can take. Get it done through Art Hobbies (see link above), or get it printed at a Kinko's on special stock like Lamilabel.
Does anybody know the average and/or "extreme" life times of the JLF springs? I've had mine about two months with about 6 hours a day on it with the exception of like, two days, and it's starting to feel really loose.
Anybody know who is selling the LED stuff in the UK? I am after a PCB driver such as the Sparky/FGWidget or whatever and also the leds to go with it. Thanks in advance.

So we have quick-disconnects, pre-made PCB's for 25 bucks shipped, easy access to quality Japanese parts, and we still don't have a way to make a case without routing tools, metal working tools, and lots of labour?
I think it's hilarious I can't find a case for under 80 bucks, meanwhile I could just buy some cheap stick off ebay for 25 bucks and get a case with parts and PCB already in it.
There HAS to be a better way right? Any easy tricks for mounting these parts? Alternative CP options? Can't I just make an MDF bottom and plexi top? I just want to make a 3 button Virtua Fighter stick.

"I'm pretty sure there's a mounting bracket welded to the metal plate that would be on the wrong side." - Rufus
Alright. Thank you for the reply. I really have never done anything like this before. since you are saying there is something welded in place, does that mean I would have to get someone to fabricate something? Or, could I swap the mounting bracket as well? I also apreciate all the help, and patience everyone has had with me.
Can anyone recommend some type of mounting solution for a ps360+ pcb? I was thinking of maybe ordering some adhesive pcb standoffs or spacers, but I'm curious to find out what other people are using or have had success with. I'm using a case that does not have holes already in it, and I cannot drill (metal case) so I'm trying to find something low profile that won't permanently alter or damage the case. Thanks!

I was recommended zip tie mounts with adhesive bases and I used it for my install of the PS360+. (I know, ugly crooked install lol)
Just mount a couple and use zip ties to secure the pcb.

With power tools its better to take a number of short shallow passes than to try to cut the material in one go.
http://www.ehow.com/how_7672575_cut-bakelite.html
Bakelite can be worked with hand tools too, when using hand tools treat it as you would hard woods like oak.
Don't score the material because scratches do not come out.
To cut use a hand held rip saw made for wood.

Focus Attack sells Sanwa brand Transparent dust washers and shafts but they do not carry pink.
So you want to do a southpaw mod, it is completely possible. What you need is ether a custom replacement top panel or a custom stick case with the top panel that allows for the joystick to be on the right.
The wiring for a southpaw mods are identical to the more traditional layouts. Depending on the stick you might have to extend or replace wiring to be longer, which should not he too hard, just cut and splice your wiring, you can use but crimp connectors or cut and solder and cover the expose wiring with electric tape or better yet shrink wrap. If you got crimpers, redoing the wires for buttons are not hard at all, and some part stores offer pre-done wiring with disconnects on one end of the wire.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI looked and looked, and even those who do customs do not make a transparent Pink Dust Washer and Shaft Cover, at least no one I know in the US.
Mad Catz on their online store http://store.gameshark.com sells a opaque pink dust washer and shaft set.
Yes all ball tops that Sanwa and Seimtsu make are screw on.
Sanwa and Seimtsu use the same size and thread for their 30mm ball tops. Both brands can use tops from each other, so your Sanwa JLF can use a Seimtsu pink Bubble top.
The exceptions are Sanwa Bat Tops and Sanwa 45mm ball tops that need a bat top adapter and the Sanwa JLW-UM-8 joystick, which because of it's thicker shaft only accepts the larger sized bat tops and 45 mm ball tops.

Art Hobbies at http://www.tek-innovations.com does acrylic replacement panels for the Mad Catz TE and the older Hori Hrap sticks (Hrap 1,2,3 and EX).
Blk Lighting does customs for various stick with metal panels. But he does his orders in batches. So you have to wait till he ready to take orders again and there is a wait for panels.

Yes all 30mm ball tops that both Sanwa and Seimtsu makes are screw on.
Sanwa JLF series and the Sanwa JWL-TM-8 joysticks as well as almost all the Seimtsu joysticks accept the same ball tops.
Some of the eceptions exceptions are Sanwa's bat tops and Sanwa larger 45mm Ball tops as they require the bat top adapter to fit and Sanwa's JLW-UM-8 which only accepts bat tops and the 45 mm ball tops.
Unusual joysticks such as the Sanwa JLJ (flight stick), the Seimtsu LSX-57/ LSX-57-01 (flight sticks) and Seimtsu's LSX-31 (top button) to not take ball tops at all.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeWhat size are the Wire with Quick Disconnects that is found in almost all of those Mad Catz and Hori sticks nowadays?
Or the ones that pretty much everyone uses and is the most common. The size that fits the typical Sanwa OBSC/etc.. buttons.
Is it .110 or .187?

-1 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeSo, I wanted to thank everyone for the replies to my question. The last question I have is, and this is more for clarification than anything else, can I not just unscrew the plexi off my SCIV stick, and flip both the plexi AND the metal plate? I know I wouldn't have any artwork on it, but I just want to know before I start looking online for parts. Thanks again.

(I hope this looks ok, WYSIWYG editor is not making multi-quote easy.)

Alright. Thank you for the reply. I really have never done anything like this before. since you are saying there is something welded in place, does that mean I would have to get someone to fabricate something? Or, could I swap the mounting bracket as well? I also apreciate all the help, and patience everyone has had with me.
