SF IV wirless arcade sticks for xbox 360/PC - Moved to BST

(1/6) > >>

cappadonna:
Hello all,

Just wanted to post some pics of my xbox 360 wireless arcade joysticks.  The first one consists of a sanwa joystick and happ pushbuttons.  It plays very nice with Street Fighter IV ;D.  The second one is incomplete but will consist of the same sanwa stick and happ buttons.  Button colors will be green and black.  I will upload more pics when finished.  I hope you enjoy and please ask questions and leave comments.  Thanks

javeryh:
Do you have any pics from underneath?  What type of wood did you use?  How did you achieve a flat top with no screws showing (for both the joystick and to hold down the plexi)? 

They are nice!   :cheers:

severdhed:
looking good...more pics please!!!


javeryh..i dont know how he did it, but you can mount the joysticks from the bottom, either using screws, countersunk bolts (underneath the plexi) or use threaded inserts so that there are no screws showing for the joysticks.  the buttons act as large plastic bolts, so they hold the plexi in place.

MrMojoZ:
Mounting JLFs with no bolts showing is easy, Franco just did a thread on it in the woodworking section. In fact if you can see the bolts on a wood case they probly mounted the JLF wrong. Also this is my first time to see Happ concaves and JLFs on the same stick.  ;D

    Hey guys.  Thanks for the questions and input.  I prefer to use poplar for the wood box.  It is very lightweight and has unpredictable staining patterns.  Some people like this, some don't.  I will post some more pics later.  I mount the sticks using threaded sleeves.  You can put them between the graphic and sheeting, then attach screw through the bottom.  I got the buttons in today for the ryu stick.  I also have a third stick in the works.  Well it was actually my first one.

    As far as using sanwa with happ..........Sanwa stuff is really hard to get right now and shipping is expensive :'(  I do have one stick on the backburner now that is all sanwa).  I have also switched to happ comp. buttons.  They are slightly convex and operate a litter smoother.  Everyone seems to think that sanwa is the  :timebomb: but let me put it to you this way.  If you play arcades in Japan on a regular basis you will be comfortable with sanwa.  If you primarily game in the US, then you are use to happ.  Don't get me wrong.  I do like sanwa stuff.  It does however take some getting use to and deep pockets.
