Fightstick Mod
I decided it was time to mod my Hori Fightstick 3 with some better buttons & a new balltop to match
Buttons used: Sanwa OBSF-30′s
Balltop used: Seimitsu LB-35
The most fiddly bit was grinding out the tabs on the button holes.
The Fightstick 3 has a common ground board so that made it a bit easier and meant a lot less soldering.
Desoldering took forever because of the amount of solder used to hold the buttons in place (as in the above pictures). Looks like it was soldered by hand and is a bit messy.
The original buttons seem really flimsy and take little pressure for the switch to move. The main stability seemed to come from the solder points.
I am thinking of maybe doing a dualmod (already have a 360 donor) and also maybe adding some custom artwork, altho am holding back on the artwork as I’ve not decided on a main character on SSFIV yet.
