Tested it out with a few different controllers as well as some different games.
Controllers tested:
1. Mad Catz TE Round 2 Stick
2. Mad Catz SE Stick with Sanwa JLF/OBSFs
3. Hori EX-2
4. Mad Catz SFIV Controller (Flowchart Ken version )
I tested them using SFII HD Remix and Scott Pilgrim...
IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!
Now I'm by no means a pro fighting game player, so take this with a grain of salt for tournament use but I could feel absolutely difference in navigating the XMB or with inputs in the games. Couldn't really feel any lag during inputs in HDR either. It registered all the stick and button inputs right away. 360 Guide became the PS Button and so on. I'm thinking of picking up a wired 360 controller now and giving Uncharted a replay.
Looks like a very solid investment for those who didn't want to mod their sticks to play on PS3 with their 360 sticks.
For those that are tournament players or pro theory fighters on the SRK forums, I'd probably look for a test done by Markman or someone in the know on how to calculate lag.
Time to double dip and pick up Super and Continuum Shift for PS3.

Fuck me! I guess I could have just modded my own stick. Oh well, good to know for the future I guess.Threi said:bump for this:

McNum said:So I've started looking into upgrading my SFIV SE stick. It's not bad, but the buttons have become a little too, I suppose "mushy" would be a good description, and I've had them activate even when I've just resting a finger on them without pressing intentionally. I'd like to see if I can do something about that. So, I've been looking and I think I found the parts I want, except I'm not 100% sure that they'd fit. Could you guys tell me if I'm about to do something stupid?
As mentioned I'm looking at my MadCatz Street Fighter IV Arcade Stick SE for PS3. The parts I'm looking at for replacements are:
6 Siemitsu PS-14-DN-CP buttons in white
2 Siemitsu PS-14-DN-CP buttons in black
1 Siemitsu LS-32 stick
1 Seimitsu Ball LB-39 in clear-white (for decoration)
Will this fit? Are these good parts?
I've tried doing some measurements on the stick, but I'm not sure if the button sizes are internal or external measurements, so I thought I'd ask before buying anything. Why Siemitsu? I like the clear/white look of the buttons, and from what I can tell, the stick has a slightly stronger spring than stock. Might as well get one of those while I'm ordering. I'm thinking of getting them from ArcadeShop.de, since I live in Europe, anyone got any experience with them? SRK doesn't seem to hate them, which is surprising.
That is... amazing...Threi said:bump for this:

McNum said:Thanks a lot, I just knew something was wrong... So better ask than do something stupid.
The buttons I'm looking at, then are:
6 Seimitsu PS-14-GN-CP, white
2 Seimitsu PS-14-GN-CP, black
These are the 30mm version of the ones before.
And for stick, I'll want this:
Siemitsu LS-32-01
I seem to remember something about needing to flip a part upside down to fit this, but it should work, right?
Well, I pretty much got it as wrong as I could, but hey, at least I got the ball right. :lol
That should get me buttons that fit, even if I'll have to screw them in (I think that should go easily enough), a stick where I don't have to solder, and a pretty ball for said stick. At least I think it should.

Awesome, thanks! Not the most unique choice of colors for me, mind you, but I kind of like it the way it is, except I want it clear.hikarutilmitt said:That will definitely work.
McNum said:Awesome, thanks! Not the most unique choice of colors for me, mind you, but I kind of like it the way it is, except I want it clear.
Now the stick God's Beard just posted, that is unique. Cool idea. Slightly ugly, but intentionally so, which makes it awesome. Is that wear painted on, or actually worn through?

Wow. I may have to get one of these and make my SFAC stick PS360 for MvC3.Threi said:bump for this:

Mad Catz promo ends end of day tomorrow.
Just in case you need some goods!

Hmmm...no amazon.MarkMan said:Maybe, but not as of now.
Sounds like I should. I've got that white 360 Hori V thingie arriving in a week or two. What would I need to get that one set up for both 360 and PS3?_dementia said:Have you thought about dual-modding? It's a space saver, that's for sure.
:lol Man, you just said what one of the biggest issues is.Glix said:Guys, the art is starting to peel on my Tekken 6 wireless xbox360 stick.
I wanna take it apart and put new art on. I can do this kind of stuff, as I have already taken apart my HRAP EX and put new buttons in.
I know the Tekken stick is kind of a cheapie, does it have any insane bullshit that I shoudl know before I open it? You know, crazy shit like the buttons being soldered directly to the PCB or something...

SlaughterX said:How long does it take for MadCatz to process an order? The stick I ordered on the 30th still hasn't shipped!
Yeah, but you'll have to remove the original Madcatz PCB and replace it with the Akishop one. That PCB is more aimed at custom stick builds, because it's an all-inclusive solution, but you can use it with your TE and you'll just have a spare madcatz PS3 controller PCB to use for whatever.blizzardjesus said:Does this mean i can duel mod my ps3 tournament stick to work on 360?
robotzombie said:Well I officially got my first arcade stick ever, thanks to the Mad Catz sale.
So far, its a bit tough to figure out. I kind of feel like I'm not in full control of my character, but I think it is more of me thinking about every action before I do it, which will go away the more I use it.
The positive, however, is that I can throw out specials, supers, and ultras like its nobody's business. The stick just flat out obliterates a pad in that department.
Now for the other issue I have...how in the world do you guys hold your hand for button use? Do you hover over the buttons? Use all five fingers? I feel like right now I'm choosing to either focus on punches or kicks at the expense of the other instead of being able to take advantage of any button simultaneously.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I'm sure they got to your order today.
