I microwave steaks.
Can you link the art you used?
also thinking about buying some buttons from arcadeshock from this sale. Dunno how well clear blue will go with my stick though, might have to swap out the bezel as well.
Shorter is better in my opinion.

Do they make a square gate for it?

they last about a week
I have a square get in mine actually. I ripped it from a long dead LS-56 and it fit fine. I think the switches are the same across both sticks actually.
The thing feels super great for playing shmups.
Ended up with the Te2, arrives tomorrow. I'm hyped
Some thoughts about the Mayflash V2, now that I've added my own custom parts.
- The stick was $64.99, the parts plus shipping were $46.36. That's a total of $111.35 spent on the stick. Whoops.
- Modding the V2 is super easy. Buttons pop in and out, and the LS-40 mounts directly to the V2's case.
- It turns out there is a difference between Seimitsu White and Sanwa White. The Seimitsu balltop is slighty bluer and slightly less vibrant. Would've been nice to have a proper matching Sanwa balltop, but that's not a big deal.
- Sanwa OBSF-30s are not nearly as sensitive as the internet makes them out to be. I can easily rest my fingers on them. That being said, they do feel slightly less stiff than the V2 stock buttons and are a definite improvement.
- The LS-40 is incredible. The small deadzone is great, especially when compared to the stock V2 stick. Tension-wise, it's not loose but not super tight either, and it feels really smooth. Best of all, the levered switches mean that diagonals are now sensitive and awesome.
- That being said, the awesome diagonals and the short throw are gonna force me to relearn how to use a joystick. Oh well.
- The more I use the stick the happier I am with the white-on-black color scheme.
- The new parts are making me realize that the stock V2 parts are actually really good for a $65 stick. They are Sanwa clones with a little bit of Seimitsu influence, and they definitely helped me determine the characteristics that I wanted in my replacement parts.
Btw what's the point of the LS-40's restrictor plate? All it does is make the diagonals feel bumpy, and I simply removed it.
Edit: It's to make the LS-40 an octagon, nvm.
Edit 2: Revised notes after using the stick for a bit longer.
Oh, THAT'S what it's meant to do?!? Like you, I removed the gate almost immediately anyway because to me it didn't feel like an octogon, just a square gate that felt off. It now feels amazing and I'm so glad I bought it.
I have it with the Venom, so now we basically have the same stick! I got Seimitsu buttons though.

Can you link the art you used?
I don't have a link to the art. I basically pulled the Chun images from google searches and used Photoshop to change the color of Chun's main outfit, add background, create buttons, adjust brightness/contrast...etc.
There is a ton of great art out there for Chun though if you are looking to add her to your stick.
The yellow restrictor plate is designed so that you can force the stick to be largely restricted to either the four primary cardinal directions (for games like Pac-Man), or to only two directions (up-down or left-right). It's a pretty arcade-cabinet centric feature, as it allows owners to configure the stick in the fashion suitable for the game they are running in it.
Yeah it's pretty clear what the two-way and four-day holes are for. Its the eight-way hole that's weird.

Cool idea for art.

After trying the Hayabusa buttons, I am happy with them and wouldn't replace them. They are just as good as my Sanwa buttons so far.
Good stuff. Thanks for the input. I'll hang tight and see what I think of the Hayabusas.

iplaywinner reviews the hayabusa buttons. They like the buttons but don't think its better then the standard sanwa buttons.

Bought a TES+ from amazon, the R1 button doesn't work. What's weird is when you map hard punch to L1 then L1 stops working along with R1.
Also the stick can not control the Street Fighter V menu, I have to navigate with a dual shock pad and when I get into the match I can switch to the stick. When I pause the menu goes crazy like the left arrow or up arrow is bad.
I tried it with Killer Instinct PC with JOY to key and same issue.
Is there something I am doing wrong, or does it have to go back?

Hayabusa VLX came today. The new buttons are fantastic, definitely gonna have to get a set for the Kuro VLX. I also think I got pretty lucky with the manufacturing tolerances some people have been complaining about. No obvious dimples or anything in the case, uneven paint, or anything like that.
Try flipping the PS3/PS4 switch and see if that makes any difference. That's all I can think of that could be causing problems, unless there are other software updates you can apply.

How do you like this so far and do you play any fighting games with it? I'm interested in ordering one because I think I would like it, but I'm still not completely convinced
Yes I tried, no difference
Trying now. The issue happens on both PC and PS4, haven't tried it on PS3 yet.
I figured it wasn't that, but sometimes the easy answers get overlooked. e.g. someone on srk a while ago was having issues with his home button not responding but it was because he had the lock switch on.
Thanks for your suggestions, I got a bad stick. I might buy a RAP 4 or find a TES+ locally. It felt good for the brief combo's I was able to do.

Before I pull the trigger:
Does the Seimitsu LS-40-01 fit into the HRAP VX-SA?
This one for reference:
Pretty sure I need to also get an S plate with it but not sure.

that looks nice. How sturdy is it?
Thanks ordered
It seems there's a problem with my Mad Catz TE2. It seems the left analog is stuck up due to some reason, though it's usually not felt when playing on the PS4. However when I try using Xoutput to use it for KI on PC it forces the game to keep scrolling upwards. Any ways to stop that?

Hey, question, did you mount your LS-62-01 on a flat or SS plate? I ask because I am sure my HRAP VX SA will only be compatible with the flat plate my LS-40-01 comes with and thus the stick height will be short like yours. I am just wondering how short, exactly.

TEK-Case order is in... Now the waiting game.
The 10-14 day wait time at least gives me time to get the remaining parts I need to build my stick. FocusAttack ran out of a few things I needed during their Attack On Wakeup sale this past weekend. I think ArcadeShock has a few of 'em, but I prefer to patronize FA. They haven't done me wrong and have amazing customer service.

here are examples and descriptions of different japanese joystick holds... in japanese.

pretty sturdy, not too heavy, it's a bit lighter than say a HRAP4kai. no hollow feel because of the layered mdf, it's solid overall. Only thing you have to deal with is you painting and fine sanding skills. lol

Not got one but I assume it's just use an allen key to undo the bolts on the front cover, lift it off and the stick/gate should be right there to change restrictor.
I hold it that way for fighters (sorta) but differently for shmups.
The only difference in my fighting game grip is that the ball goes between my ring finger and middle finger, not my middle finger and index (ew). And I never let go of my grip while playing like the dude in that gif does.

That is highly uncomfortable for most players. I have always held it between my pinky and ring finger it always felt the most natural to me. I guess it is now synonymous with Daigo these days. You just have to find what is comfortable for you as everyone is different.
you had to sand yours down yourself? I know the paint is on the user, but I thought the rough edges would be sanded down already?
Hey guys, maybe you can help me. It's not quite the massive tabletop controller, but I've recently acquired two Competition Pro joysticks. They are working fine but the stick is super stiff. It seems I need to change the spring at its base, but for what? it's roughly 2.5cm wide and 3cm when installed (so probably more without tension). I have no idea about its strength.
