Turning MadCatz SFIV Fightpad into Custom Stick?

[perplex_shyt]

I’ve tried to find a thread on this, but to no avail. I guess I dont know the right keywords to search. But is there any tutorial on how to do this on these forums? Or is it a pro-modders secret?

I have plenty of fightpads with broken d-pads, and with my recent thirst for custom sticks, I would like to turn them into something special.

Thanks for any help bro-dogs

Go to the Sticky FAQ and Tutorial Thread in Tech Talk.
