Best Arcade Stick For Xbox/PC?

[Static X]

What kind of PCB does it have, or have you not got the controller to gut? With a sony dual shock pcb, all the cheap 10 dollar Nyko PS>gc & xbox connectors work flawless with no button lag. I would tell you to use a ps1 dual shock controller regardless because of the ease to work with. They have huge solder points and can be done with ribbon hack without having to bother with the minor soldering at all. You can pick em up at gamestop for under 10 bucks and get a ps>xbox conver for just a few dollars more. If you don't want to solder, you can use this: http://home.comcast.net/~spiffyshoes/DualShockHack/

thanks static! ooooh im lucky too i got a model A ps2 control

[legztec]

Just build one yourself!

 

 

Get some wood, bottons, screws, paint and a joypad.

Frag the pad and solder.

 

et voila!

An usb stick.

 

 

Or an XBOX stick

it looks like a nice solid design....easy to open for button changing and stick changing?

 

nice that it has the "bat" style sticks rather than ball tops

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yes its easy to open, just remove the rubbers on the bottom to see the screws.

 

i just got my price on parts which came to a total of 26.50 which isn't bad (8 competition buttons 1 competition joystick and a nut wrench)

Hey legztec, is that a seimetsu joystick in your first pic? If so, where did you get it? Thanks.

I seriously want to know what's everyone got against the "ball" style. I find it more comfortable then the bat.

i want to replace it with the original neogeo stuff that is in there but it doesnt say "HAPPS" anywhere on the joystick base,,,,i think it was made by neogeo

 

If i cant replace with original parts i need to know whats the best "springyest" sticks to get ? an i like the kind that limit your rotation to a 8 pointed star...so you get your corner moves good!

 

any help is appreciated

Go to happcontrols.com > PC arcade > Joysticks. You would be talking about the competition joystick. They are 8 way sticks and ultra quiet. Probably the best sticks on the US market.

You and me both. JAP style sticks are blazing fast. It's a noticeable difference between them and US joysticks in my opinion. The top ball grip is a minor thing to get over if you aren't used to it.

i got \ a cheap $14.99 pelican xbox controller and i want to mod it, have anyone mod this controller before? ive heard some people said they have problem modding cheap xbox controllers, as they not working properly..and they got more than one ground connection on the pcb board...

I don't even know what a "seimetsu joystick" is.

But I got this one at ultimarc.

[Static X]

Gotcha. Ultimarc has some nice hybrid sanwa stuff. Seimetsu joysticks are pretty much the same as sanwa, but some have a longer shaft so they can be top mounted. In the pic, yours was bottom mounted so I didn't know if you had routed out the wood or had a seimetsu with longer shaft for bottom mounting.

thought i'd update the topic by showing off my updated arcade stick

 

all competition parts and cherry switches except the mode, start, and back/select buttons which i left alone.

[sammaz]

NICE I see you got the same sticks as me...you can whale on them hard and they will be fine.

I've always liked the X-arcade version. I use the Solo one.
