Some blue LED's on the bottom pointing down & out would really look cool.

Hey, does your hacked gamepad have force-feedback?  Wire up some superbrights to strobe whenever the FF gets triggered.

I wish, I am planning on teaching myself with some online tutorials but the last couple of days I've been in the shop building panels for folks.  That avatar was made by someone over at the Shoryuken forums.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Here are some updated designs.  I found a way to slim down the size of the stick quite a bit.

Also, I added the Coin/Select button with the start button on the back for Kentoad  :D

Thanks again.  I used more dowels on these.  Here is a diagram showing where they are.

You sure are whipping these things out.  They are so cool!  You make me want to give one a try - too bad I've got a wet cabinet in the shop/garage so I can't use the table saw right now or else it would be on.

I love them, amazingly clean design.

I'll take 5% commission for the use of my suggestion.   :D

BLAM!

Hmmm...
That's a interesting technique YOU found there!

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62819.0

Along with the "Designed to fit in a flat rate box concept! ::)


At any rate... Nice looking sticks, Wish I still had time to build more myself.

Wow guy, if the search function worked, or better yet if I actually used the search function I might have seen your old boxes.  Good job.  Your sticks look nice.

Yeah I know lol.  I might end up selling it since I'm doing the bartops now.  I'm going to order one that I'm going to put together for myself this week with an ultrastick.  The one for my dad I'll still need help on because I wanna do the two magstick plus joysticks on.

I'd recommend going with socket head screws instead of Philips on the Plexiglas.  They come in flat head like your current screw, or you can go with a button head.  IMHO, they look more professional than Philips heads.

Congrats on your first sale.  You should sell a bunch.  Hopefully you can get the process down so that you don't make $0.24 per hour for your labor.  Looks great!

Awesome.  Actually, we offer a range of decorative screws.  This guy wanted those screws.  I gotta look into the alan style or button heads

thanks, we've really found our niche with these little sticks.  I've already built 3 more but I cant post pics until they are complete.  We're just waiting on parts.  They are getting crazy now.  I cant wait to share.   :hissy:

that looks like a vinyl decal but it could been stencil painted on the plexi,
