My DIY Fighting Board Journey

- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- I made my own fightstick.. (without a stick) so.. stickless fightstick? or hitbox; hitbox-style; All-Button-Controller?? The naming conventions are all over the place for this one. But since it's custom anyway, lets just call it a fighting board.
This was a fun project! And the journey is certainly not over, I'm sure i will mod it to my needs and make Iterations along the way!

I want to adress some of the comments that were pointing out to me that this is not a "Fightstick". I was already trying to mention the issues of naming for this type of controller in the description, but anyway. I decided to change the title of the video, even if that means that less people find this video now. Just to be clear, I am just a guy who was having fun building this thing. I am not gonna engange into any discussions, wether a leverless controller is distrespectfull towards stick players. Anyway. These were a only few people. The overwhelming Majority of comments were very positive and i'm happy i've got to reach so many people with this project (I've never expected any of this!). So thank you, and stay tuned! I'm planning to upload a new video very soon:))
hey bud as someone who actively builds wooden fightstick i just want to tell ya well done and the hardest part is knowing what you want, so keep pushing forward and u will make something amazing
Thanks mate! It definitely makes it easier when you have a really clear plan of how you want things to look like, and possibly even have a material list ready. At that point it's just about slowly realising your vision
@@SquidsTv 100% u will even get to a point where your halfway through a build and your brain does a massive left turn on ya and end up veering off your original design but dont fret i still run into this to this day even with a template or plan haha
As someone in the process of upgrading my own home made hitbox, it was very interesting to see the similarities and differences between our approaches. I used arcade buttons that I bought online, as well as a spare pro micro and breadboard that I had lying around. I also used 22AWG solid core wire, which is much less fiddly for small soldering. Using the insides of an ethernet cable sounds very painful. The code I wrote for my arduino just used some black magic written by someone else to turn it into an XInput device as far as the computer was concerned
Here's a nugget for folks looking to skip a few steps: You can apparently hook up Brook boards directly to key switches. I'm probably gonna give that a shot myself sometime soon. There's also something called a "breakout board" for key switches that you can get, it's a single switch-sized PCB that lets you solder everything to that instead of directly to the switch, That's useful if you want to make it so you can replace the switches later by soldering hotswap sockets to the PCBs. The switch slots into the socket and works the same as if you soldered it directly, then you can experiment with different switch types as you feel like it. The breakout boards can also be fastened to whatever box you end up going with, too.
Really happy RUclips recommended this video to me because I got most of the way finished with a board before, but the custom PCB I commissioned didn't end up being comfortable for my hands, so I'm coming at it again with a more modular and low-effort approach because it's really easy for me to get carried away trying to do extra things. There's so many cool ways to customize DIY things like this anyway. 😂
yeah! there are so many ways indeed. I'm also interested in custom PCB's in the future, as they don't seem to be too expensive. Also I was thinking about a hot swap-socket, but I think for my build here I was trying to go as cheap as possible and I was sure I'd stay with the switches. But it definitely an option! I think they aren't tooo expensive either
Could you provide a link to that breakout board for individual key switches? I am trying to make something like this also.
Thanks in advance!
@@garlanramadhan4291 www.amazon.de/Hot-Swappable-Socket-CPG151101S11-mechanische-Tastatur/dp/B07K8CCMQZ I'm guessing he's talking about this (Kailh Hot-swappable PCB). But correct me if I'm wrong @vileosufora
@@SquidsTv that's only a hotswap socket. I do some searching, he's talking about mini pcb that you can slot the switch into, you then solder the pcb instead.
I haven't found one that is really suitable for hitbox build though.
I think for simplicity, it's better to just slot the switch into the hotswap socket, then solder the socket instead.
@@garlanramadhan4291 The hotswap sockets typically go on the board itself, especially if you plan on swapping them, then you can mount the board itself so swapping keys isn't placing any strain on solder joints.
Really cool vid and insight into your whole experience! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful:)
Good video man, the thing has wholesome and cozy diy vibes to it!
dope project. trying to make everything out of things you already own is cool and it allows you to adapt and it helps with creating solutions for other projects. good work!
Thank you! I was honestly a bit bummed when i hit a roadblock with the arduino, would have loved to just make it with stuff i had laying around
you literally changed my life, this is amazing, stay awesome!!!
:PP
glad you enjoyed this! it's funny seeing what's practically the layout I used when building my own fightstick with the shift and spacebar buttons (though I used arcade buttons for shift, spacebar, and the right side buttons)
I love this layout. Don’t understand why other Hitbox-style Controllers don’t utilise the left pinky more
Took me awhile to find this video again to leave my comment. I was looking to buy a stickless till I saw this video, you convinced my to make my own and so I did. I love the outcome and Thank you very much!
Niceee man! Thanks for coming back to write the comment. Happy to hear that. I was hoping to inspire people and let them know that there is a cheaper, more fun and personalized option!
Currently in the process of making my own arcade stick and just wanted to thank you for bringing attention to that RPi Pico thing. I was planning on using a XinMo board that's been laying around in my drawer for a decade now, but this looks like a better solution.
Thanks.
Great Video and thanks for featuring my board :D
I just actually completed my own custom hitbox build but I purchased a pico fighting board and a 20 pin wiring kit ended up being about 35$ I HIGHLY recommend anyone take this route since you can very easily cut new tops and try different layouts, spacings and the inclusion of extra buttons like adding two jumps.
Is that solder free?
@@hopsys it is, if you buy one from a seller. chances are it will already have everything soldered in
@hopsys it was! my board even came with wires to go into screw in posts if you wanted to do it that way but a 20 pin brooks cable is pretty cheap and compatible
@@BlankaScrub would you mind sending the links? I am super new to anything hardware and even the simplest things like buying the correct stuff is daunting to me
Fantastic Video! That feeling you get when you win a match online with a controller you built yourself is irreplaceable.
Thank you! It absolutely is great. It feels absolutely magical after throwing some wires and switches together
What a great journey! You are really encouraging me to do the same. I'm about to make one but still struggling with what case I should use.
Cara, você é uma inspiração, mesmo com pouca grana e pouco conhecimento, mas com muita determinação conseguiu fazer algo incrível, precisamos de mais pessoas como você neste mundo.
my boy, i’m just getting into fgc, but i’m hyped to make a hitbox myself.
this video makes me 10x happier, thank you!!!
same! I also got into fighting games very recently. Good luck making one yourself!:))
I hate my mixbox. The wasd keys with pinky and thumb buttons YES! That's what I want! Teach me master. AND you rock the Hakumen skin lfg.
Hahah yess. glad you liked it!
I really really liked this. I approve!
great video! I made an all-button controller myself not too long ago. I used a pro micro with QMK firmware, which definitely made the process easier
I might do a custom controller/keyboard build that is run by the QMK/Via firmware at some point in the future, just to get fimiliar with that software. Looks very interesting!
Thank you so much for actually showing the building process and the individual parts for this with the case! I'm trying to do the same thing on my own and am having great trouble finding something that answers my questions on how to connect things. I plan to use a Brook Zero Pi
Hey! I'm glad the video helped out a bit. Unfortunately I'm not fimilar with the Zero Pi, but there seems to be some information on their website www.brookaccessory.com/detail/53169470/ . Regarding your other question, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "place the mechanical switches"? can you elaborate?
I mean what did you do to get the keyboard keys onto the board? Did you make holes and put them in? @@SquidsTv
@@TeethSkylark 4:47 I made holes for the cherry switches and then put them in there. They have a little plastic edge that keep them from falling through. No added glue or anything. They just fit very tight and don't move. If your's move around, i'm sure it's ok if you add hotglue or anything to stabilize the switches. Hope that helps
Cool video! DIY Electronics is such an underrated hobby. Way to go persisting.
Thank you! It definitely is. For a long time I simply didn't even know that handwiring my own keyboard is a thing and that it's actually not even so hard to do
the board looks great but this video was great !! great vibes
Thank you!
U da best man, you can do everything.
I am legit only waiting on my buttons and nuetrik to arrive and have not found many videos on the topic
great vid man
Thanks mate. Glad the video was informative for you! Enjoy building:))
Thanks, I'd never thought about using the shift key on the left hand for something. It had always just been basic movement for all these years. Going to try putting drive impact there for Street fighter 6
I played fighting games for quite a long time with just a keyboard. I'm thinking about buying an arcade stick. But this DIY is very good, I remember my old keyboard and I will try to change it to be like yours
subscribed, I really enjoyed the video and I'm motivated to build my own hitbox with a raspberry pi pico.
That's awesome! hope you enjoy the process :))
good stuff!
good video and work❤
Thank you! :D
In my opinion upgrading to minimum plywood is worth it, in just a couple of years mdf starts warping and can even grow mould if it's humid enough
yo man, got yourself there a subscriber :) really good content there. I hope in the future you would do an arcade stick version of it. right now my qanba q1 board just went haywire on me and I don't know what to do other than replacing the board. problem is I don't have enough knowledge on how to do so. hopefully you would make a video similar like this but an arcade stick version. Again, great video mate!
Thank you! I can see myself making a real arcade stick at some point. It got a different feel to it:) You would need a deeper case to accomodate the Stick for sure. That would probably be the main difference
Hey mate you have the perfect layout there. I've been thinking about getting a mixbox style controller since I am not sattisfied with my gameplay on pad and coming from PC it feels natural for me to have the shift and space bar on my left hand. Problem is no one is making a layout like this and I'd guess I'll have to build it myself. For not I am going with a 8bitdo arcade stick and modding it with WASD keys and thinking aboout drilling holes to shift the two extra buttons on the thumb and pinky position, just gotta wait for all the parts to come. Probably in the future I'd like something similiar but in a "flatbox" or Razer Kiitsune style controller which would be more ergonomic and portable. Wish some of the guys making these things in etsy could offer some kind of custom layout since I'm pretty bad at builduing it myself.
Great video. I went through somewhat of realization that I’m so comfortable on a keyboard. I recently bought a keyboard … it broke- so I bought a mayflash fight stick f500- it felt like I never played fighting games before. The learning curve was huge on it. So I went back to keyboard and instantly fell comfortable again.. now I want my very own key box aracde board just like yours!! But the premade ones are $80++ so I’m very excited to attempt to make my own keyboard fightbox - but like you, I have 0 experience in this. I think the hardest part is going to be soldering wires to PCB board.
Me too, I'm really a keyboard kind of person. Don't really like controllers that much. I like the clicky, immidiate feedback.. I'm happy i have inspired you to make your own! Soldering is really not as hard as it seems. The good thing about this project is, that the pins on the switches are relatively far apart. Just have everything prepared correctly and it should go smooth. Good Luck:))
I know nothing about hardware and electronics but I want to make my own fight controller. This video was extremely helpful, especially with the wiring of key switches as I am thinking of running with those as arcade buttons are huge and space out too much for my liking. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks mate! I'm glad i could help out. I'm also an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff, and i was learning while doing. I think something like this is a great project for beginners
@@TJisJustFine for me they fit in really tight. If it's your first time using a chisel or working with this type of wood, I recommend practising/trying out before making the thing. Just watch a simple "chisel-beginner" type video. It's crucial to remove most of the inner part of the square before precisely chiselling the edges (hope that makes sense). Also It's good to have a cutter handy, incase you have to make some small adjustments. If the switches are not tight enough, I can imagine hot glue working just fine
Ahh yes, I once inspired to build my own one after watching this cool DIY project videos. I hope your works continues to inspire more people to DIY their own fightstick, I believe keyboard players doesn't get much love on the FGC.
I also made a wooden fightstick with mecha switches, but on a prebuilt board (not pi). Do you know if raspberry board can be detected on ps4/ps5 as controllers?
Im looking to updgrade my board so I can join locals, but ones that are sold are way over my budget.
Great job, also old gamepad can be used as base.
Hey great vid! I actually had a similar idea from the same creator when I got into fighting games a couple months ago. I even tried an ardiuno from u had laying around but also ran into the same problem lol.
Thank man! it's definitely a fun little project to do:))
yup, thats a nice diy hitbox with keycaps
Love the dash button for macro. I tried having a macro on my fighting stick with one of the right buttons and just couldn't get used to it. Def gonna make my own leverless. More used to actual keyboard keys instead of fight stick buttons as well.
yea man! it's very intuitive for me and i barely see controllers with this feature
it is a fun challenge to try and keep the costs low. I somehow managed to make a great stick for under $100 a few years ago. The worst part about it is that the board only works on PC and switch, which means I can't really take it to tournaments
Doing that right now actually. Thankfully the GP2040-CE is compatible with Brook Adapters, so if you can snag a Brook FGC Wingman, you can use it on a PS4/PS5
I also made one as well in hitbox as well as sleeved my wiring :))) you dont need the pcb outbreak board or whatever that is just the pcb
Now I'm REALLY struggling to decide buttons or keys for my hitbox style controller haha
To me arcade buttons feel better especially with Silver switches
It’s all preference though! Practice on a typical keyboard first and try going to an arcade if there’s one near by and find Tekken- they use Sanwa buttons.
It's probably easier to do things like double tapping with buttons, if that matters to you. I prefer keys myself, but it also depends on if you're more comfortable with your fingers spread out over buttons or closer together over keys.
buttons are so nice, you can really go crazy with the mashing and the size means you don't accidentally hit other keys
why not do both? get a fightstick and get an odin or other drop-in stick with socd cleaning.
yes hit box style controller (mixbox) not a stick.
Thats great
cool build and video. I might do something similar. Is there any way to connect key switches to the GP2040 CE board without soldering? also how do the switches stay in place inside the case? I saw you chiseled the holes for them but they don't have screws or snap tabs like arcade buttons right?
Glad you enjoyed! I think there is a non-solder way to do this aswell. But you'd need to buy like a cable kit bit "clip" on cables, and I don't know if there work with the cherry switches. Maybe someone else can help out.. To your other question; I was quite precise with the holes, so they just kinda stuck in really tight. If you're unsure if it's gonna be tight enough, you can use hot glue/glue them on from underneath. Should work just fine
One of the improvements could be introducing low profile key switches.
true! if you're trying to make your box super flat, it's definitely an interesting route to go.
Oh wow, I was going to make something just like this; wasd for movement and yghj for 1,2,3,4 (in Tekken).
Ohh Nice. You can also select Keyboard inputs in the GP2040 Software
God bless GP2040 and the open stick community. I was in a similar position, most arcade sticks were too expensive, and didn't match the look I was looking for. So I started with a box I commisioned to a local carpenter. Probably the only arcade game he has ever played was space invaders as he wasn't familiar with arcade sticks, like, at all. (He drilled the button holes just as they were on the template, which he printed scaling it, so holes that were supposed to be 30 mm wide were like 35 or 38 lmao) No problem. he apologized and did it again. I merrily used this stick for a couple of months, but something was off. It was pretty crude, too tall, and the button spacing too wide. And it couldn't accomodate custom artwork. He lived like a 40 minute drive away so I wasn't to keen on asking him another case, so I started looking into building my own. MDF was cheap and plentiful, like 23 dollars at the time for a 1.5m x 2.44m plate, 12mm thick. The parents of a friend of mine had a laser cutter, so off to the races. My second stickbox was crude as well, the finish was pretty terrible, the screws protruded out of the corners, you could clearly see the divisions between each sidewall and some newspaper got stuck to the box in the finishing process and as such, some parts of the bottom were darker than their surroundings. I wasn't a fan of how I mounted the stick either, thinning the joystick area with a forstner drill tip. It was pretty uneven. Still, that was my main stick for a couple of months, too, but even then I was researching in how to make it better. Improve the layout, the finishing, the build. Get rid of those pesky imperfections. And, not to be cocky, but it had premium arcade parts: original sanwa lever and buttons, and the money I've spent until now was still like half of what a qanba obsidian cost. The pcb was bad though, one of those cheap zero delay boards, but it had ps2 compatibility so I was happy with it. Until I discovered feralai's pico fighting board and GP2040: the input delay was amazing, and it suited my use case quite nicely, me being exclusively a PC gamer. No ps2 compatibility sadly, still, I bought some PCBs from China, the components, and soldered everything together, and set up on making a new case. This one was bad too, but while it became my mainly driver, I found out that my mom had a paint gun so I began researching on how to make good finishes. I lost count on how much money I've spent, but this quickly turned from "I want a cheap but solid arcade stick" to "I want a premium fightstick, and the case should reflect that". I'm currently using the latest case I built, I think it's pretty good, the finishing isn't perfect however, but it's a far cry from where I started. I'm currently building another pair of cases, well, two cases and a set of sidewalls. I'll move my current asembly to the sidewalls, with better finishing, rounded edges and corners, and in general, I'm striving for a professional build. Another case will be a hitbox, which a friend's brother commisioned it to me (hell, I think it'll be viable for me to make and sell these, but I think I should buy the tools I usually ask other people to lend me, like the laser cutter and the power saw) and the third case will be a korean-lever build, so I'll have two fightsticks, a sanwa fightstick and a crown fightstick. I also discovered in the meantime the open stick community fork of GP2040, and in general, TheTrain's several contributions. My korean build will have his excellent 3D printed mechanical buttons, while my sanwa lever has gamer fingers (although if I had discovered the train's open source buttons earlier, I think I wouldn't have bought the gamer fingers). I also bought a crimping tool to make my own cables. For now, I've lost count on how much I've spent on this (less than the price of a victrix for sure) between buying MDF, laser and MDF cutting services, hardware, paint, etc. but I don't regret a single second of it. It can seem daunting, and even expensive (I live in latin america so things are relatively cheap, a 100 dollar order on send cut send would cost me like 50 or 40 for example). Also, I commit at least a fuckup in every build :( I hope this new case I'm working on turns perfect. But if you have a friend, or check documentation online, I think it's pretty possible to nail the build for the first time. And if it doesn't come out like you wanted to, chances are you'll have leftover materials to try again.
That was a joy to read! DIY-Projects always lead you to unexpected places I feel like
@@SquidsTv they really do, I feel proud of what I've accomplished, and I still have some ideas in mind
I built one like this (with 3d printer buttons on top of the key switches) but the contacts are very fragile and a couple have broken. Going to switch to buttons, as much as it pains me to pay that much for little switches
I am working on something similar right now, but with 3d printed parts, but I can't decide what board to use. The pico board seems like the best option but the brook pi zero is compatible with the Nintendo switch as well 😅
Definitely a little late, but gp2040 software mentions compatibility for the switch too
@@meep7929yep, i saw that and ended up going for that in stead. Now I have to figure out how to configure it. Hate anything related to programming and coding 😂
V cool nice
Just commenting here because u deserve it
The Zero-Pi is literally 25-29 eur though, unless you play on PS5 or Xbox
Brook UFB Zero-Pi that is
True, That's my bad research then. I think I found a video that used like a 100€ Brook board and it immediately turned me away from making my own fightstick. This board might be an alternative for someone who has issues with the GP2040 software!
@@SquidsTv I'm in the same situation you were, just looking at every option to cut down costs as much as possible to make a hitbox.. no way I can justify spending over 100 euro one, that is, if I even find one in stock lmao.
Getting the wire kit from Brook for their Zero-Pi bumps the price by another €20 though, but that's also what it'd cost me to get a soldering gun if I were to try and DIY it even further... Anyway, great work on your video, very well done :)
Looking forward to hearing that first song when it drops on Spotify, what's the name? Thanks for a good video
I appreciate you asking mate! I'm planning to publish a few of the tracks in this video some time this summer (including the one you mentioned) :)) don't have a name for it yet tho. Follow "mas bokus" to be notified when it drops!
awesome work, man! how add RGB led to this controller ?🤔
Thanks mate! I'm pretty sure there is a way to add RGB to this setup. i think The Software and the Pico support RGB lighting
hi .. I enjoyed the video.. so what platforms can you use this controller on?
GP2040-CE is compatible with PC, PS3 and PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, MiSTer and Android.
is the ground and signal of the switches is same in any kind of switches? thanks for the great video mate
Glad you liked the video mate! To my knowledge, it doesnt matter which one is your ground pin. Just use either the upper or lower pin *consistently* as your "ground pin"
8:40 this was me man
haha glad im not the only one!
I can help you on DIY builds since ive been making mine for the past years using PICO boards. hehe
Hi! thanks for making this guide.. I just wanna ask if the controller you made works on PC?
Glad i could help! it works perfectly on PC
Building something like this really interests me, however i would love to make it wireless, not sure how possible that is.
Is it necessary to solder the pins as you indicate or can the order be changed? I will use redragon switches
Hey!
You mentioned you didn't need to do any soldering to connect the keys to the pico board. However when I looked them up most places where they mention it they say you need to solder to connect it to basically anything. I'm not sure how this all works, as I'm a complete layman when it comes to stuff like this. Could you help me out and give specifics please? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hey! So, I bought something called a "Breakout-board". The Rasberry Pi Pico is just stuck onto this Breakout-board, and the ethernet cables are simply plugged into the Breakout-board and then screwed tight. The cherry switches however, i soldered them to the ethernet cable. I'm sure there is a way to connect the cables without soldering them to the Switches (If you wanna go completely solder-free). Hope this helps!
What did you use to place the mechanical switches?
Hey, how do you get two inputs for up? The arrows and the hitbox up(on bottom). Did you connect two cables to up?
Hey! You can configure a second jump input under the GP2040-CE Web Configurator. I believe it's under Plug-Ins (?).. Basicly you connect your second jump to a pin on the Pico, that you don't use for other inputs (GP22 for example), and then map that pin to jump in the configurator.
I couldn't mke out what you said did you buy a raspberry pie board? Or a pico board please explain id like to get one
Hey, I ended up using a Rasberry Pi Pico! you can find a list of things i used in the description too. Good luck building!!!
Arent ether net cables fiberglas?
So it ACTUALLY its just: buy pico, solder, done. Thank you!
if you have the case and the switches ready, pretty much! Ethernet cables are made out of cooper
did you solder the cables to the switches' pins or you uses something to connect them?
7:24 i soldered the cables to the switch pins
can i use arduino uno for rasperry pi
Would this work with Nodemcu, it feels like it's going to work but i have never made this kind of thing
I don't know honestly.. I don't think the GP2040-Software supports this controller. But you can ask on their Discord just to be sure. I would say avoid the hassle and just get a Rasberry Pi Pico, if you can. They are very cheap.
hey what does 1p, 2p, 3p, 4p mean on the PCB?
What's the latency like on a board like this? How does it compare to something like a brook?
Never played with a brook board myself. All i can say it's extremly fast. Can't feel any delay. I've seen comparisons that say it's the same speed as brook boards. On the gp2040 Website they talk about a 1ms Poll Rate!
How do I make it compatible for games on PC Gamepass? It works on Steam but not on the xbox app...
im gonna try make a pi pico joystick.....i aint got a clue lol
Good Luck! You can doo itt
might aswell just use keyboard as is and assign 3p and 3k to the numpad and use wasd spacebar, shift and ctrl, why chop it up like this? just curious
There are multiple reasons!
1. I like having a dedicated controller; A simple layout with just the buttons i really need
2. It's more comfortable and does not strain my hand; Every button is where i want it to be
3. I can use it on the Nintendo Switch and other supported controllers!
@SquidsTv fair enough, am thinking doing mixbox myself with the asd keys being curved like in hitbox and putting a large w key above it with its width being same size as the 3 asd buttons
Sure beats taking keys off an old keyboard to make a makeshift hitbox
How did you manage to keep the switches from falling down?
Cherry Switches have a very small edge all around that keeps them from falling through. The Opening has to be cut very precisely for it to work
@@SquidsTv Thanks for the response! Did you use the Pico-Wireless for this or just the regular one?
@@csaltlatte I personally have used a Rasberry Pi Pico (H), was the cheapest. gp2040-ce.info/#/download The supported Microcontroller Boards are listed here: Rasberry Pi Pico, SparkFun Pro Micro, The Waveshare RP2040-Zero and the Adafruit KB2040. Not sure if the Pico-Wireless is supported, might want to ask on their official Discord-Server.
Im stuck at that part where you plug it in and Install the firmware, like what do I download and how do I install it
Hey! Not sure if you already fixed your issue by now, but there is a step by step guide on the website gp2040-ce.info/#/installation . It's quite straightforward! Be sure to read everything you can on the website, it's generally quite helpfull to understand this software better. Good Luck :)
@@SquidsTv that got it fixed thanks
It's called a leverless controller
is it compatible with ps5 only games like street fighter 6?
To my knowledge the GP2040 Software it is not compatible with the PS5. A full list of supported consoles is on their official website.
Ps4 version only and you have to enable it on the add-on section
Does this work with ps4?
This should explain it well gp2040-ce.info/#/ps4 . Short Answer: Yes. Long Answer: It's Complicated.
bro make wiring this tutorial..
can you play tekken 7 on it?
haven't tried it out myself, but i don't see why you couldn't! This custom controller acts like any other gamepad you plug into your computer
Not a stick in sight...
Just remember that if a 40-year old registered nurse with ADHD like me can diy a fight stick after watching some videos on RUclips then *anyone* can.
Dumbass question but how do you make the switches to stick to the wood sheet?
I guess thight fit, i have on my hand switch (similar to what he used) and they have base 14mm on 14mm and he cut 14 by 14 if i understand correctly what he wrote in 5:01
Cool video, but I feel like it’s a misnomer calling this a fight STICK since… there is no stick. This is not Capcom SF6 competitive legal, correct?
Thank you for watching the video! As mentioned in the description, naming conventions for this controller are all over the place. Regarding your question: All I can say is that the controller supports 3 SOCD cleaning modes. Up Priority, Neutral and Last Input Priority
thing is i don't respect this type of player who uses, this type of controller in competitive play. what you do in single player you do you. but for me its either pad or stick. but i grew up in the arcades and everything was about respect or you get into a real fight.
regardless your diy button box turn out great.... nothing against the controllers per say in fact going to build my own in the new year think they be great for platform games
How is this considered a fight stick 💀
It’s literally just a keyboard
@@roastytoasty8559 wat
@@natevart4156 haha come on you know what i'm talking about
you need a stick for it to be a stick its not a stick. please stop insulting stick players with your ridiculously accurate unfair directional input accuracy. its bad enough these things exist and your calling it a fight stick wen their is no stick ?
wtf is it with younger generations using names for things that are not what they are called ffs.
he adresses the problem of finding a suitable name for this in the description
also you seem to be pretty mad about this. are you a boomer by any chance? maybe you need to try to be more open for new, younger stuff
well the video poster changed the title of the vid and updated that info in the description in the last 10 hrs of me making these comments. so there's that.
@@roastytoasty8559 cool! i'm glad you're chasing your passion and make a positive change in this world! merry christmas ❤️
