SRK forums might just be as good as it gets.

few things that I need to know:

Is it the SE or TE stick
what are you wanting to do?

I've had more experience with working with arcade panels and sticks than I'd like to recall

@LunarAura: thanks for the info...

@TougaKiryuu: I have the Collector's Edition(as it says on the box). I want to get new stick and buttons for it, and if possible a faceplate cause I got the SFIV stick only cause they didn't have the EX Pro 3 stick

alright.

For buttons, you wanna get the Sanwa OBSF-30s, all you'll have to do is some snap out, snap in work. Pretty easy, and they come in like 800 colors. The cables themselves are quick disconnects so no solder needed!!

For the stick, I'd say get a Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK. Also make sure to get a different plate depending on how you like the feel of your stick (it comes with a square gate, circle gate will make it feel like a cab, and octagon will let you feel the quarter circles out). Also, most sticks don't ship with a ball, so you'll need one of those. This stick uses the same mounting cable so once again, no solder needed.

As far as the faceplate goes, you don't need to replace it, there's a blank template on SRK, just download it, take the art you want on it, slap it on the template, and take it to kinkos. Just make sure you take the screws off before ya stick it on ;D

Ok, so I got the sanwa parts minus the faceplate(For now). I felt accomplished that day.

but now my question is, what buttons does the Tekken 6 Wireless stick have? I like how they feel and stuff. If anyone that knows what buttons they use please let me know...I want them! but if they don't sell them then too bad

(for whatever reason, why I didn't just get the Tekken 6 bundle: Cause I already had the SFIV stick and didn't see the point in getting a 3rd stick. Now I regret it...end of story)

Don't bother, that stick is a piece of garbage. Like the Soul Calibur 4 stick, the buttons are soldered into the boards inside the stick, so it's not worth it.

I use an FSTE with the Sanwa stick replaced with a Seimitsu LS-32-02. I don't play fighters; I'm a shmupfag, so the tighter movement works for me.

Here's a great site for arcade controller (and machine) parts.

damn, that sucks...maybe that explains why the buttons fell the way they do!

Just make sure you get all of your parts well before the release of Super Street Fighter IV this April. Last February they weren't able to ship anything for months.

Is it possible to get a replacement square gate for the LS-32? I decided to grind it out to a circle hoping that it would give me access to the octagon in the sub-guide, but it turned out to not be worth the effort.

wow...are you some sort of rage button smasher that needs button replacement? or is that for when the moment arrives?

I'm pretty happy with the buttons i got from when i started this thread...but i still like the feel of the buttons on the tek6 stick!


EDIT: I'm now working on a template...I was looking at some of the custom sticks on SRK and I was wowed by some of the designs! I'l post a link to my first [crappy] template design!
