Hi everyone!
We wanted to share four custom FightBox controllers we finished this week. 🎨
Every week we get to build some really unique customer designs, and it's always fun seeing everyone's creativity.
Which one would you pick? 👀

Thanks for checking them out. ❤️
Hey everyone — I’m part of the FightBox team, and we’re currently testing a new arcade controller concept.
This is still in the prototype/testing stage and is not for sale yet, so we’d really like to get some honest feedback before finalizing anything.
The idea is to build one relatively compact controller that can handle several different types of classic arcade games.
Current setup:
The rotary joystick is mainly intended for games like Ikari Warriors, Heavy Barrel, Midnight Resistance, and other rotary-stick arcade games.
The trackball would cover games like Golden Tee, Centipede, Missile Command, etc., while the four side buttons are intended for virtual pinball.
We’re currently calling the concept the FightBox R10 Rotary.
One of the challenges is fitting all of these controls into a reasonably compact enclosure without sacrificing hand placement, trackball clearance, or overall comfort.
Because of the cost of the components involved, one of the price points we’re currently evaluating is around US$199.99. Nothing is finalized yet.
I’d really appreciate some feedback on two things:
1. What do you think of the design/layout itself? Like it, dislike it, or anything you’d change?
2. Considering the hardware included, does around US$199.99 seem like a reasonable target price for something like this?
Not asking whether you’d personally buy one — I’m mainly interested in whether the price feels reasonable for the components and functionality.
Any criticism is welcome. We’d much rather find the problems now while it’s still a prototype than after the design is finalized. 😊
Hey everyone — I’m part of the FightBox team, and we’re looking for some honest feedback on a controller concept we’re considering.
It uses a GRS IKARI Rotary Joystick, a trackball, regular arcade buttons, plus 4 side buttons for pinball.
One of the cool things about the GRS rotary stick is that the rotating joystick top can be set to 8-position, 12-position, or 16-position rotation — or you can make it completely free-spinning, which gives it a spinner-like feel.
We’re thinking about making this as the "FightBox R10 Rotary", mainly for people who want one controller for games like Ikari Warriors / rotary arcade games, trackball games, virtual pinball, and even some spinner-style games.
Because of the hardware involved, the target price would be around $199.99.
Two questions:
1. At $199.99, would this be something you’d actually consider buying?
2. What do you think of the design/layout itself? Like it, dislike it, or anything you’d change?
Would really appreciate honest feedback — especially from people who already use Legends Ultimate setups.
Hey everyone! We’re FightBox 👋
Just wanted to share 4 custom controllers we’ve made recently.
Each one has a very different style, so we’re curious which one you guys like the most: A/B/C/D
Which one is your favorite? 👀
