Funny story about the placement of the buttons: I received one of these as a gift as my first fight stick a little over 2 years ago and I still use it. (like you said very durable, served me well.) The thing is: since it was my first stick I didn't know any better and now a couple years down the line I'm fully used to my reversed layout, and at times I rebind a couple buttons in games to accommodate it lol. Not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things - I only really play from home and if it works it works - but I thought it was funny meeting up with some of my friends and realizing my buttons had been reverse of the norm for all this time haha.
I do not think this is a good arcade stick at all. There are so many options that are way better than this. I still have this stick but it's collecting dust for sure.
I just ordered one of these. I got a brand new one for $40. Couldn't pass it up. They go on Amazon for $86. I can get over the placement of the buttons for that price. They look rock solid and if you understand controller wiring you can open one up and do lots of cool stuff, like replace a button or the joystick with a spinner knob. You can even replace the circuit board with a 1-up. The circuit boards for arcade controllers are cheap, it's the cabinets that are expensive. A solid metal arcade cabinet by itself cost more than this controller. Definitely worth it, even at $86.
Yeah I changed the buttons and put it in the right places. Nice and heavy too. Not my first choice but you are right for the price if you are on a budget it will def work.
I'm about to build a new fightick but the cases that I find are really expensive and made with plexi. This one seems pretty good and the buttons are accessible but how easy would be to set up a neutrik pass through on this? I would basically buy it for the case and replace the buttons, joystick and PCB.
There isn’t a harness or anything like that in there but there is a lot of space in it if you have the time and tools to play around in there. So this isn’t a fix it in five minutes type of job. You are right on the PCB that pcb is trash I would def replace it. The case is def solid man.
hey dude do you know how to get this thing working on switch? tried everything, it lights up but cant be detected as a controller at all when plugged in using the docks usb ports
Are you plugging it up to the docking station or directly to the switch? Second question have you done mapping for the controller in settings sometimes you have to do it that way.

You can change absolutely EVERYTHING inside that case, and I'm really wanting one for that express purpose.
just make sure when you rewire the buttons the buttons are in the right place. Its really not that bad if you have the ability to mod it.

Would this be possible if I switch the buttons and stick to Sanwa?
Yeah I changed the buttons around too easy
