Thread O' Custom Sticks

[Ryan]

I have two custom sticks from finkle (just the case, I am adding buttons/art myself).

He will do anything you ask really.

Resurrection!

I finally got my custom stick from GoPodular!


It's a hybrid joystick: Sanwa joystick with octagon restrictor plate and Happ competition buttons. The Start and Select buttons are 24mm Sanwa buttons.


The design is a homage to Sega's Astro City control panel overlay. Designed with Adobe Illustrator, it took me a while to find the fonts to replicate the Astro City logo.


A shot of the joystick without the cartridge encoder. I purchased two cartridge encoders, one for the Playstation with a Dual Shock 1 PCB for lag-free compatibility with the Radio Shack (PC) and Magic Box (Xbox) converters. The other...


...is for the Xbox 360. The cartridge connects to the bottom of the joystick and attaches to the back of the stick with velcro. Finally, a good joystick to play DOA4, Third Strike, and the upcoming Virtua Fighter 5 and SSF2T: HD Remix.

I, uh, couldn't have the source file, could I? That's an awesome design.
