XBOX 360 Street Fighter Stick #2
Namco:
I think most of us started with one of these kind of projects. The thing I hated with mine (besides the crappy woodworking) was how high it sat up in my lap and just how big the whole assembly was.
I love your first stick and now I'm thinking of building one, but with a focus on the ergonomics of it all. However with yours, I bet the size and the angle of it makes it mighty confortable. Let me know how it feels on your lap during a long play session.

Were you using Japanese parts or American?
My first Xbox stick I built (well, and all of them afterwards) were using japanese parts, and the box isnt tall or bulky at all imo.
Here are three that I have made (first two had the same build design):

what kind of stick is that in the 2nd one? It doesn't look like a JLF.
massive88:
The Texas and Yankee sticks are using JLFs
The Black/White/Red stick is using a Seimitsu LS-32. Its original purpose was to be a 4-way controller for a game competition/legacy trophy, and the Seimitsu rocks the 4-way much better than the JLF. In fact I now want to replace the Happ 4-way in my stand-up machine with Seimitsu's because I like the feel so much better.
Namco:
Yeah, your sticks are great. My first box had a Happ Ultimate (ugh), which has a very tall base and Happ Ultimate buttons which gave the cherry microswitch terminals pointing straight down. Needed 3 inches of clearance at least. Plus I built it out of 3/4" particle board so the thickness of the wood added a lot to the size.
When I have more time, I'll search for your project thread to see the images of the underside/insides. If you don't have one, please post one up. Thanks a bunch!!
