My Gamestop has them for $19.99 new. http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessories/ps3-wwe-all-stars-brawl-stick/89348 Might be worth it to call around before buying from Amazon.
God dammit! Just ordered this stick from Amazon a few days ago at the original $70 price. And it just shipped yesterday so I can't cancel it. What should I do? Does Amazon do full refunds on accessories like this?
Email them first,
But order the new one at the low price for the time being. If they don't credit then you can always get a return on the old one for the next thirty days...you will just have to pay the return postage fee. Up to you if it is worth the $30.
Called Amazon. Turns out their policy is they will match the best price if the difference is over $20 and within seven days, which is the case. So my stick I already ordered will be the new $30 price! Thanks Amazon for being awesome and thanks stickGAF for the heads-up and good advice!

Modding can be that expensive? I payed $40 in total cause I'm importing it to Canada. Was thinking of just changing the artwork as I don't want the Rock to stare at me all the time while I play. :S
Which stick should I buy if I want to dual mod it? WWE Brawl Stick - Amazon $29.99 And what is the easiest way to dual mod the stick anyway? This will probably be my first stick to mod since for that price, why the hell not?
Just bought the brawl stick for the PS3. I'll pick up the 360 stick later in the week if its still available for that price.

O man I forgot how Kayane looked back then (not even like 2 years ago) with that chunli pic. Also Faye is always a hottie.
Thinking of picking up a P4A stick if one ever gets release stateside

Posted this yesterday in the old thread...
The HORI RAP V3-SA Kai and VX-SA Kai. US versions (yes it's coming out here). Early.
What's the difference with the Kai sticks from the previous SA's?

Yay! Arcade stick thread round 2!
No joke, this crazy thread has totally changed the type of gamer that I am. I used to like some console FPS games, a touch of action and an RPG or two. Then looking at this thread I got the crazy itch for a DIY project, so I built a stick in my spare time, I didn't even play fighters or anything. Now I pretty much just play fighters and SHUMPs (VF5!), I streamed much of EVO, my kids showed up on Kotaku's front page dressed as Ryu and Chun-li, and I'm currently making a little list of the best arcade stick friendly PC games to share in the Steam sale thread. So yeah, arcade sticks are pretty nifty eh?
My next project I actually found a guy at work giving away an old 2P X-Arcade for free. I wanted to put some nice japanese sticks and buttons in it and pad hack some 360 pads into it. But honestly, it just feels so delightfully trashy as is I almost don't want to change it at all. Might eventually put some eurosticks and buttons in instead.

I will hit Hori up ASAP. Yeah NeoPenny told me about the EXChanger. Some other folks who got it had more positive opinions on it but I wanna try it.

Came here to say that the deal is over. Now, it's back to $70. Glad I grabbed one while it lasted. DasRaven, *bows*.

I only have a Tatsu vs Capcom Wii stick and a MvC2 stick but now that I will be employed again in a couple weeks I will be building a stick soon. And I will be able to pick up a Chun and Femme Fatale stick.
Can't wait to build my stick. More than likely it will be Darkstalkers-themed.

Anyone know the size of the hex screws on the madcats VS stick? This hex key set I have laying around is not fitting.. Going to the hardware store tomorrow and I don't want to but the wrong size/metric or whatever..

Dammit, it's back up to $70.
I just bought the Hori SoulCalibur V stick for the 360 recently. I'm looking into dual modding it since most of my fighting game friends play on PS3. Is there an easy, solderless dual mod solution that's compatible with the Hori SCV stick?
I've heard something about a "ChImp SMD" being something I'm looking for, but I can't really seem to find any solderless tutorials or anything like that.
Or is it just more worth it to send my stick off to someone else to mod it for me?

How easy is it to mod a V3? Mine's coming next week
Regular V3??
I hope you are good with soldering.
Oh, um, it's the Hori Fighting Stick V3 for PS3, if that's what you mean.
The Chimp is the only way I've seen the Hori SCV stick dual modded, but that is NOT a solderless solution and I know of none in the pipeline.
That stick looks like this inside:
There is nothing easy about modding this stick and you'd be better off with almost anything else if modding is your desire.

Yikes, thanks. If only I had jumped on the BrawlStick deal earlier....

That is a very nice stick! That is the one you built yourself? I like it quite a bit, and I hear ya on what this thread does to people. Wait until you see what EVO did to my pickups this month in the thread. Should be posting there tomorrow... Nice stick!

I took advantage of the Evo deal and picked up a SC V Mad Catz stick. Goofy aesthetics aside, it plays solid. One weird quirk though.
Almost every time I go to power on the 360, the stick isn't noticed by the 360 at all. Can't power on with the guide button, and I have to power the 360 on and then unplug the stick and plug it back in to get it working.
My Hori's never do this. Is this common?

Now this is good stick design. Art that works with, and not against, the stick's inherent form factor.

A chimpSMD is solderless s long as the main board is common ground, it just takes a tiny bit of work and creativity wiring it up.
So here's my contribution - my modded MLG TE:
Mid-mod. I will never open the case again. Ever.
Completed.
It works! I didn't break it!

nice led mod man. I'll probably just mail my stick off to someone else to do that.

My (first) mod was pretty rudimentary and amateur compared to the awesome sticks a lot of you guys have put together, but I'm still pretty proud of it. I've never done any sort of joystick modding before, so I was pretty darn nervous when I opened it up and started disassembling things. I got even more nervous when I had trouble getting buttons to come out or go in. I'd swear that some of the holes were slightly smaller than others.
I'm thinking about changing out a few more buttons, possibly getting a new balltop, re-painting the bezel, and replacing the artwork. I also want to install a TE Kitty from GodLikeControls.
At any rate, this is my mod so far:

There's the Akishop PS360+, but I don't know if it's solderless for Hori.
However, I just use this, it works flawlessly so far and I can use it for multiple controllers.
Thanks!
An LED mod isn't too hard, Nerrage's videos are super easy to follow. My only problems were closing the scotch locks (use pliers for this, it's too easy to leave one partially open & break the circuit), and the fact that the grounding strip on the MLG TE is reversed from the standard TE, which had me tearing my hair out until I tried flipping the wires.
Heads Up: PS3/PC gamers DO NOT BUY MADCATZ FIGHTSTICKS.
I Bought SSIV AE2012 on steam last week and to my dismay my PS3 TE stick doesn't work on my PC. Googled it, and found a srk link where others ps3 stick owners are having the same problems.
http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.ph...c-xp-vista-win7-32-64bit-read-1st-post.56258/
The thread is over three years old and still active, looks like madcatz doesn't have any interest in trying to find a solution. It's very disappointing, the only workaround found was using a pci usb card. Using a matx board with a 670, and sound card, I don't have the room for an additional pci card.
Skip madcatz and go with the Hori RAP.
