I was asked if I could make a version of this that would accomodate a panel that isn't epoxied together, so I followed the Chameleon's lead and altered the middle pieces to have two heatsets instead of one so that a split panel could be printed on a smaller printer.
Cheers you magnificent people you.
Hey all!
This is my first time modding a fight stick outside of switching out my buttons. I'm partly intimidated, but want to try.
I have this Mad Catz Fightstick Pro from PS3. It works great and I use it on PC to play with friends with no issues. It of course doesn't work on PS5 though and so if I go to my weeklies, I have to play on controller. I originally bought one of the Brook conveters to use since it's cheaper and easier to convince my wife on the money. I thought it worked when I looked it up. Realized I confused my stick with a different one, so it didn't work with my stick and none of them work from what I can see.
So I bought this Brook Universal Fighting Board Fusion to put into it. I looked up videos on how to do it but I also noticed some nice enhancements others have done. I've been sitting on this board for over a year (so can't return it anymore) because I just keep feeling like I hit roadblocks. So I finally decided to come here with what I want to do and seek out advice or direction on how to accomplish it.
I would like to replace the cable with a detachable one. I saw it in a video that was modifying the MadCarz TE. In that they removed the cable storage compartment and added a piece from buttercade which allowed them to get additional button slots to put the new cable connector. I saw Buttercade didn't have one that works with my stick and don't see an option like that anywhere else. So 1) is this doable or do I need to just pivot away from this?
I also wanted to switch out the artwork which I see Focus Attack can do. However in their listing, it looks like it has 6 screws (3 across top and bottom) that you switch. Mine doesn't have these slots and so I'm just confused on how I would even do it. So 2) is this possible on the ps3 version?
Ultimately, what recommendations would you share for upgrading the stick? I figured since I'm already switching the board, I could attempt something else to make it more modern/my own, but feel like I'm limited from more straightforward options.
Any advice/thoughts is really appreciated
TL/DR: Upgrading a MadCatz Fight Stick Pro for PS3 for the first time with a Brook Universal Fighting Board Fusion. Seeking advice on what to do.
The PC version of the Hit Box Ultra is on sale for $180 right now, so I’m seriously considering picking one up. Before I do, I wanted to hear from people who’ve actually used it.
My only experience with arcade buttons has been the Mayflash F500 Flat Elite with Sanwas. I actually liked them on the attack buttons where I was really slapping them, but on the movement side they felt a bit too mushy for my taste. It ended up being the main reason I returned it.
What I’m looking for is a firmer, more satisfying bottom-out, especially on the movement buttons. If you’ve used the Hit Box Combo Buttons or the Ultra, how do they compare to standard Sanwas? Do they feel noticeably firmer, or is it mostly the same?
Thanks!
Buenas
Que recomendaciones de arcade stick con buenos botones recomienda, ya que con el que cuento tengo que presionar mucho para que se active el botoncito (mas bien me gustaría que el switch fuera mas sensible) por favor
El que tengo es el mini de hori
Hi everyone!
We wanted to share four custom FightBox controller 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. ❤️
Does anybody else just take out there fight stick wither it be leverless or lever just to mess with it to hear the buttons and not have it plugged up?
Here ya go. I haven't been able to test this print myself, but it should work. It will fit (even on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini.
So what enclosure of all arcade sticks would you say is the best?
Since my handicap controller doesnt work on my ps5 (even when using the Brooks Wingman i bought), decided to get a fight stick. Was going to get one of those Sony made ones coming out, but decided against it after seeing some early tests opinions.
Any ideas? Not even sure what to look for, since Ive never had a fightstick.
Anyone tried the brook balltop? Is it the same size as the sanwa jlf balltop? How's the grip?
Looking forward to your responses!
I want to try learning to play on a leverless controller, so I designed this MPress. Went with a Dirty Pair theme after a binge re-watch of the whole series. Can't believe Dirty Pair is over 40 years old. I was drawn to the clean, multi-layered look of the MPress V2 and tried to incorporate that into the design. This thing has a cool three dimensional feel that other leverless controllers don't. Paradise Arcade did a great job with the print.
Please enjoy and can someone please bring back the Dirty Pair!
I’m looking to get into leverless style Fightbox device but I want to play on my PS5. I found a B1-PS5 Fightbox on Amazon and it claims it plays natively on the PS5 as it includes a board that allows this. I’m just double checking with the community and seeing if this is true. For the price ($200) I’m hoping this is true because I really love the style of Fightbox and want this particular model but I don’t want to get burned on not having a native connection for my console.
The exact model and design I’m wanting:

New to the fight stick community I'm looking for a leverless controller.
But I also want easy interchangeable art if possible.
Not really into making my own or swapping parts every now and then just want a plug In play that's good to play at events
No budget
hello there! ive recently been getting back into fighting games more and ive been looking to finally upgrade/replace my fightstick.
ive been using a hand-me-down SFV mad catz TE2+ that i got about 7-8 years ago. while it's still generally functional, and ive customized it a little, it is kind of showing its age and i wasnt given it in the absolute best condition, so i think something new might be in order
ive been mainly playing skullgirls and learning street fighter 6 on PC for context. im looking for something with a lever that isnt going to break the bank, but is still a notable improvement from what i have now, and has customization/modding potential. any suggestions would be much appreciated thank you for any pointers!
SELLING MY QANBA OBSIDIAN 2 ARCADE JOYSTICK
Brandnew/sealed
Hiya! I had my 8bitdo fightsstick for a year or so and have been looking into reviews and such recently. Came across this subreddit and saw a few people suggesting to "upgrade" the joystick to a sanwa jlx, jlf or a dozen others. What constitutes an "upgrade" in this case? Is it the material, something with the gate?
On a possibly related note the only complaint i had with the stick i had is that it feels too "lenient" for the lack of a better word, it feels like its very easy for it to "slip" between some inputs (probably cause my fine motor skills are not great to say the least) what would you reccomend on that front?
Thanks
Hey guys, I already know I really like leverlasting but im trying to decide which to order.. is there anyone that has had all 3 ? If so whats your opinion on them ? Ive used the the mayflash f700 elite flat and I really liked it but it sits a bit to high in my opinion
Graphite chassis, blue aluminum bezel and USB pro mount, Sanwa JLX, metallic Balltop, metallic snap-ins with a Brook UFB driving the rig. Reverse printed plexi since my design skills suck.
As I'll likely just be using this with my PC and Mister FPGA, I probably won't upgrade the encoder
I know I'm a day late for Fight Stick Friday, but figured wth.
I see alot of custom services in the megathread but i already have my own hardware and don't need someone to make me artwork, i'm looking to buy the box only.
I have seen some clear acrylic boxes on Aliexpress but does anyone have additional box/case suppliers and what are the search terms i'm looking for?
Nevermind it's a fightstick enclosure or fightstick chassis.
I'll just google some.
