This is by far the cleanest install of any stick I've ever seen. But 300 ish dollars is a lot to eat up but you're really paying for a top notch case, clean wiring, and the name.
I thought the same thing. I just replaced my Hori Rap USB Cable last night, and the wires are everywhere. So when I saw this, I was pretty shocked at how clean it looks. I didn't even know that a stick can be this clean. I want to try out a Hitbox stick and, but I just ordered parts to make a PS2 Arcade stick. So The Hitbox is going to have to wait, but Ill try out their product next, cause this video has really impressed me.
looks great. I wonder though, i never used a hitbox but do your fingers get fatigued easily? i feel as if my left fingers will get tired out really easily at first, but maybe any of you long time hitbox players can answer this, did your fingers get stronger over time and you can play for hours?
Hello Jasen. Quick question: What do you recommend to clean the hitbox I bought (last end of january)? I was wondering what product should be used between the buttons (Sanwa Denshi) and the rest of the hitbox (the glass part and the metal part) ? Thanks!
Hey man I have a question im thinking of buying a Hitbox but it’s really expensive, but now that I see that u can build one how much did I pay for everything?
How much room do I need vertically for let's say seimitsu/sanwa 24 and 30mm buttons? Slagcoin has the box rated for 3 inches height but that's with a JLF joystick.
Does the kit come with all this stuff shown in the video. I understand u show the items use to build the hitbox but I wish u had links for where u can those items because I’m having a hard time with trying to pick out the necessary items for the hitbox.
Hello, QQ: I just acquired one of your hitbox with universal fighting board/USB-B port. I got a Nintendo Switch and might get the remastered street fighter 2, and I was wondering how/what kind of adapter do you recommend to be able to both charge the Switch and plug the hitbox -> USB-C into the switch (not the TV dock, I want to play from my bed haha). What are the connectors things? I cannot find the right keywords on Google about what thing I would need to both be able to charge the switch and plug my hitbox. (I was first thinking of a USB-B to USB C to plug into but then I guess I can't charge the Switch)

Quick question: I had an original Hitbox controller before and it had great shortcuts for example a DP can be executed by holding down and simply tapping right twice + any punch. I was wondering if the Panzer Hitbox 3 has the same shortcuts/alternate methods of execution or if it works different because its on a different PCB. Thanks in advance!
Navid Nilchian - I saw your question on the help desk; I’ll answer it over there. The Brook UFB has a built in SOCD, just want to get the exact behavior from Brook and I’ll post it up.
Isn’t that just a shortcut Capcom put in to SF4 + SF5? Doubt that would work in ST, although if it does then that surely shouldn’t be tournament legal.
Do you also make top plates and plexis with the Noir Layout? I've been using it lately and it's a lot more confortable than the Vewlix when it comes to hitting P and D in Guilty Gear.
The Hitbox layout is setup using a Vewlix layout to start. This was tested extensively against a Noir layout as a start and everyone agreed that the Vewlix layout was the best for most people. I do have a Panzer Fight Stick 3i with a Noir layout; in fact its my only layout for the PFS3i.
Lock turns the front buttons off so you dont accidently trigger one during play. The LS/DP/RS switch toggles directional inputs such that they are either the D-Pad, Left Analog Stick, or Right analog stick
Dumb question: is the pro cable included? (It says "External USB Cable" into the included list but if I select "Pro Cable Connection Black Plate (Select Your Own Pro Cable Separate) " what does "Select Your Own Pro Cable Separate" means? That I have to buy it separately? I am asking because I don't have any cable and I am interested into this product. But I want to be sure about what extra things I have to buy (I understood the buttons, but what else? BTW which buttons do you recommend? Are the ones in the video "Sanwa Denshi"?
Polopollo75 - with the pro cable connector you will want to grab one of my colored pro cables. Many wanted something other than plain black and asked to substitute in a different one which was challenging from an inventory perspective; so now you can simply grab one from the shop in the color I have available and then not have to pay for two.
Ok so the pro-cable is just a choice between black and white, but everything is included to plug it to my PC in USB, I got that right? Is there an advantage to the pro-cable over the "Black usb" ? Which one do you prefer? Thanks for the fast response!
Polopollo75 - you still need to purchase the pro cable that connects the Panzer to the PC. The part included is simply the case side only. The pro cable vs. standard usb: locking, less wear on connectors, different aesthetic.
Ok got it, so if I pick "Black usb" for instance, it is compatible with a printer cable. QQ: "Nickel USB" is just the color? I can't find any picture of what it is.
Hey Jason, stupid question; but the "Panzer Fight Stick 3 [HITBOX] - Assembly Service" is where I can get a Hitbox assembled for me if I'm understanding that correctly? Would that also mean that I'm paying for the parts that are being assembled?
Looks sick. May have to pick one up Quick Q. I'm on the site and it looks like you only have Blue and Purple for your hitbox kits. Will you be having this black on in stock anytime soon?
Panzer Fight Sticks are off the site right now since we are "closed" until the 21st or so. They will be back soon and ready to order as soon as my warehouse is moved down to ArcadeShock's location.
Right from the listing for the Assembly Service: Panzer Fight Stick 3 HITBOX Build Out Service This add-on service ensures you get a fully built Panzer Fight Stick 3 HITBOX when your new kit arrives. Pick your Panzer Fight Stick 3 HITBOX, set the details for the case, then add this and set the details for the buttons! Once done, sit back and relax... we will handle the rest. Your new fight stick will be built with the exact parts you choose, the Fighting Board will be updated to the most recent version, and tested out.
Sorry, I was left with doubts because google translate does not translate perfectly, and I'm lousy in English. I was confused because of the video, I understood that in the case I buy the pieces for myself to mount in my house ...
The assembly service coupled with the case kit is what you want. I don't have "stock" stuff ready to ship since I focus on trying to make everything custom and tailored to your needs.
I think its a pretty fair price given the complete package received and the fact they work on everything you throw at it. But then again, not everyone goes out and buys BMWs opting for Hyundai instead. They both generally get the same job done.
I might be late to the conversation but just want to add that imo Jasen Customs hitbox is the way to go. It is a quality product. My first hitbox was from the hitboxarcade and sadly the usb cable was not secured properly among other things and had to have it replaced...checked around in forums and it seems my experience was not uncommon. Once I got my Jasen Customs hitbox I never looked back. Btw, I am not a spokesperson for them just a man who loves his hitbox. I just came here to watch video to upgrade my hitbox with the pro usb cable. As always, the videos are straight forward just like when I was setting up the DIY hitbox. Good Stuff
Thanks! I appreciate the comments and well explained reason you chose to go with a Jasen's Customs hitbox! On the surface it seems expensive but the quality and customer service that goes with each case I ship out can't be topped. In my opinion :)
dude www.hitboxarcade.com/ sells a finished product for 200 www.jasenscustoms.com sells the enclosure alone for 190 let alone if we gonna buy everything thats like 350 plus i feel bad for people that uses Jasens
I appreciate the comment, however, I would argue my customers prefer the quality and service of the PFS3 Hitbox and the fact that its supported by Brook and works on 6 consoles/systems.
Just ordered one of these, great assembly video! Super excited to put it together.
Excellent video. Very helpful to be able to see all the required parts one needs to put it all together
My buddy brought his to MAGfest and that thing is a tank. Got mine shipping in soon and I'mma use this to get her up and running.

Is it still a fightstick if it doesn't actually have a stick?

Super easy. Tek-Innovations.com offers print/cut services for the Panzer series; I also do printed plexi runs frequently (one is open now).
Nice build but I would NOT use clip in buttons, screw in ONLY. Would not buy for that very reason
Good thing all my cases are BYOB so you can use whatever suits your needs and desires ;)
