Joely finally stayed still long enough while I'm approaching with a camera so I could take a picture of him chilling on the arcade area rug the way he likes to.. 😺💜🕹️🌸
After several delays, my first fightstick mod is done! I painted it and replaced the lever and buttons with Sanwa parts. The pink buttons are the King of Fighters normal attack buttons, while the white rims are the Street Fighter normals. Here's what it looked like when I got it compared to what it looks like now:
Got a 3D printer recently, and among a couple other things I've been developing a clicky miniaturized arcade stick to use in a project or two I have in mind. After a good number of iterations, while not PERFECT I think I reached a "good enough" stage.
How many iterations, exactly? Well...
First versions used mechanical keyboard switches (Kailh Box Jades to be specific), while anything after that uses the same type of switches you'd find on mice, allowing for a MUCH more compact form factor and shorter stick travel.
