- FIIIGHT! In this DIY video I will show you how to make a CUSTOM ARCADE STICK (fightstick). The goal is to make an affordable high quality arcade stick in the easiest way possible.
Build Details: terntek.com/blo...
There are lots of resources on DIY fightsticks and most of them involve lots of wood working skills, equipment and time. Instead of building a case from scratch, we use a wooden storage box to save lots of time.
This arcade stick will work with PS3, PC, MAC or Retropie. In this build we use Sanwa joystick and Seimitsu buttons to achieve high level of performance.

Awesome vid. I was checking this out because I want to build a dummy fight stick for my baby girl. As she likes to hit the buttons and play like I am. She likes to go for my hori fight stick. So I figure this set up without the internal components would be perfect for her. Then add the guts later when she actually wants to play street fighter with dad.
Badass.
You're the coolest fucking dad
Definitely will do this for my nephew. :)
Dude, you are the best dad in the world
dude if my daughter ever did that I'd probably smack the shit outta her and start beating her up w a belt.
This was so helpful. The USB encoder was immediately recognized by my PC as a USB controller. Now I'm playing type Lumina (released today!) with a high quality stick for 1/6 of the usual price, even while using original imported Sanwa stick and buttons, everything feels smooth and responsive. Subscribed and liked, thanks master.
Thank you very much sir. I followed your guidelines and built my own arcade stick using sanwa parts and a banglebox.
It's working smoothly . Once again thank you for this detailed tutorial. I enjoyed making my first arcade stick.
PS:- Guys if you are making this for TEKKEN 7 PC , good news for you. It works 100%. Flawlessly. You can play any fighting games on PC with this.
really ? i m searching for arcade stick cant find here in india they all are double price so m thinking of making one
Green Beret I just ordered some similar parts, lets just hope they arrive in one piece, I'll let you know when I finish making mine.
sure man
if you want i can show you my arcade stick that i made. I ordered parts from aliexpress and it cost me only 2200rs for an entire kit.
SON of EARTH my parts just arrived I'm gonna connect it to my pc for playing Tekken 7, how did you connect it to steam for tekken 7,was it plug and play?
This is actually genius! I guess you could add wooden blocks on the inside if you wanted it to be heavier so it doesn't move around too much.
Wow this is probably the easiest build I have seen - thanks for sharing!
You did a great job with this. (I know it's an old video)... Your tip on preventing blowout, and the jig for making your pilot holes perpendicular (while not totally necessary on thin material) was a great addition to the tutorial !
I decided to manage my cables with electric tape to prevent any mixups if i needed to fix something on the inside. The zero delay encoder also works on Playstation 3!
Some people also use cable management sleeves to make their stick internals look just as good as the outside.
There is a powerful joke here, you just need to put or together
You're not funny. @@everyone5200
For traction, you could pick up a cheap mousepad from a dollar store, cut it in half, and glue it to the bottom of your case. That should help stop it from sliding around on your lap or table.
Core-A-Gaming?
@@shardofkingdoms9816 Not sure. Maybe that's where I heard it, or maybe I was just poking at my mousepad and compared it to the bottom of my fight stick.
I love ergo proxy
I wouldn't glue a mousepad to it, specially a cheap one. The sticky bottom of mousepads start to deteriorate over time due to heat and it literally turns into glue leaving stains wherever it touches.
@@gamblerfls What cheap and easily available material would you suggest to use instead of a mousepad?
That's a nice build, it doesn't look too difficult if you have the right tools, but I lack any of those drills and drill bits.
Super clean install! Now everyone is looking around their house for a wood box.
garage sales usually don't charge shipping and you can find any box to put it in
or old jewelry boxes/cigar boxes from thrift stores..
Do more videos on these projects, your video is better than any other Arcade stick DIY on RUclips.
I have a bunch of cigar boxes and a few humidors. Think im going to try this.
Man using the box was an awesome idea
What an excellent idea to use a pre-made wooden case! I think it would even allow fitting a Raspberry Pi or similar and adding the necessary passthroughs. Use a case with a handle and you've got yourself a portable arcade. :)
i had a mame cabinet i built a while ago and unfortunately i had to scrap it.
i ended up salvaging the control panel and made two fight sticks, one for me and one for my nephew and ended up working really well and feels awesome.
i made my fight stick out of wood and aluminum, if you have the skill set and patience -- go for it
Probably looks more beautiful than most "gaming sticks"
Thanks for you amazing step-by-step guide on how to make the joystick. I finished my pair of joysticks yesterday and have been playing non-stop
The links in the build details are pretty helpful. I was having a hard time finding a suitable box... didn't think to search for "wine box" or "tea box". I've built a stick in an old xbox 360 and I recently had a an idea for a very unique arcade stick layout for non-fighting games and I think one of these will do just fine.
After looking at the parts suggested, you could buy a nice starter qanba stick that has sanwa parts for cheaper, but if you're wanting to do a custom build, this is a cheap solution. However if you just wanna be a hobbyist and not sure if you wanna drop top dollar first, there's cheaper pre-built sticks out there to get the feel for a fight stick first. They're not high quality and their weight is low, but they'll last casual play and let you get a solid feel for if you wish to get into the 200 dollar tier or custom building.
I'm in that position right now bought cheaper stick for tekken 7 and i need something better 200+hours later. Any suggestions?
/watch?v=6Oexnpq3HKI Woolie there has a good breakdown on qualities and price ranges. I haven't touched Tekken 7 myself, nor any Tekken in a long time, so I don't know what'd be comfortable for you. I do know you're gonna want some weight, problem with cheap sticks is they feel like nothin in your lap.
I go deal hunting and have a place where I pay $2 per item as-is. Found a full kit using this exact Encoder and Sanwa buttons and stick, and have been meaning to put together an enclosure to get back to my days of Tekken competitive play. Thanks for the awesome idea, didn't even think of it!
Your opening, isnt that just it for most of us, we find this, and the kid in us just goes nuts in the arcade of our minds eye, with Unlimited quarters...I love this. I'm about to start into all this too, my first with me a gift for my sister and her family, I cant wait to order the pieces and put it together. What did YOU find to be the hardest part, or the most confusing? Thank you for the clip, its all so helpful when starting out. Thanks.
Would be nice to see a configuration video as you set up and mapped out the buttons in the Raspberry pi.
Why are you so underrated? You make such good vids.
That joystick was straight business!!! Comes to do work!!!
This was exactly the kind of video I was looking for - Thanks! Very well made (both the video and stick).
Going to use your guide to convert my existing joystick to PC
ooooh thats a good idea i have a genesis one i should convert it to pc
Just getting into fight sticks, really enjoyed this, I might build one for fun to go with my others. Unfortunately it looks like the boxes you put in your blog links are all quite a bit more expensive now in the $25-35 range, but I know what to look for so maybe I can find something at a thrift shop or garage sale.
Oh my... Its so beautiful. You, my sir, have gained a new subscriber.
Also here are some ideas.
Try putting a Phreakmods Link on the lever and a handle on the box so you can carry it like a suitcase, then you can put the lever inside the case for easy storing.
with the help of your video it filled in the missing info from another one and i can start building mine now, thanks :)
hy friend, following his instructions, step by step, made some mistakes, corrected, and then finally, my arcade stick was very similar to yours, thank ´s my friend, hugs from paulão.
Thanks for posting this. I had been considering making a fight stick to mess around with for a long time and this guide definitely made it more accessible. Thank you! I was able to make a fight stick with the joystick on the right with this guide and a bit of guessing. I did run into the same issue regarding the side buttons since the screws weren't visible. Instead of drilling the side to make it closer found that it was pretty secure if I just wrapped the buttons in electrical tape. The buttons don't come out unless forced out from inside which is sufficient. Anyway just wanted to say great guide!
very high-quality and in-depth. Thank you.
Great video, I'll probably buy 4 more buttons and turn this stick into a hitbox
Amazing work dude. Attention to detail is on point.
Great, I did it identical with the wooden case and the bits for the holes. It's great and easy to make. greetings from Argentina.
also, if the box is too light and slides around in your lap, you can super glue some heavy metal square washers from home depot to the bottom (away from the USB input circuit board).
Bought a RAPV stick a year ago and this video popped up alittle while after, fast forward 8 months later and I unknowingly bought the same wooden box lol.
Very inspiring video! I was only starting to consider the purchase of a stick when I was recommended your video. Now I want to make one instead! Looks much more fun!
thanks man. I was wondering how arcade sticks work because we have some ideas for setting up an arcade machine in the basement and idk how diffecult it would be. thank you for showing me that even I can go get the parts and put it together ^^
Thanks soooo much for such a helpful video. the best i've seen. I'm currently building one like your.
Both my store bought arcade controllers are 11x8 just about so just a little smaller than you are recommending. The depth on the one using arcade buttons is 3 inch ruffly.
Awesome stick 💖
That's cool and all but why didn't you put it on the top of the case so you could just open it in case you need to change anything?
Very helpful especially if you want to build 1. Thanks good sir
Such a simple and inspiring project. Thanks for sharing with us!
Gamerbees dad is looking well. Great video too! 👍🏼👌🏼
Mannh all these DIY videos to build arcade stick for myself but none of the parts are available in my country nor is shipped.
If there's any Indian brother or sister out there who has experience with arcade stick either purchased or crafted , can you please let me know.
The arcade stick in india is very expensive. Would love building one or if there's anything which is cheaper.
It's for Tekken 7 .
Btw about the video, i watched it like a movie! Really nice tutorial and awesome crafting! ❤❤
This is for when I become a legend in mvc2 & 3
Congrats on 1K subs
Excellent video! Thank you!
Great video, I loved it. I am currently building my own arcade stick.
Very informative and a great video. Thank you very much.
awesome build!
just considering making one of these. thanks for the video, those buttons are cheaper and have more variety too
Thanks for this video. really enjoyed it
Thanks for the awesome guide!
Great video!
Nice build...beautiful arcade stick! :)
This is a pretty cool idea
I would drill 6 screws from the top thru the inside board cos I don't trust the glue will be able to hold the board up in the long run. And I'd prefer if the buttons and joystick are installed on the lid instead if it's sturdy enough with the inside board.
*Amazing work!*
Beautiful
IF you put a top on the box insider and a small monitor or lcd display you could have a portable case
Awesome work.
Well done 👍🏼 you did very well
I need one but no the sanwa joistick
Nice quality, clean and beautiful. I enjoyed this. Thank you.
I'm about to buy a $200 to $300 arcade stick.....now, after watching this video, I wonder if I should build my own instead........
Ιερώνυμος Κόραξ yes you should, it'll be fun and worth it.
I did it! I bought a cheap set from Amazon (17 bucks for the whole set), and I experimented with the bases. It WAS fun. I made one base from a Silverware drawer, and another one from a fiberboard shoe box I found at Hobby Lobby. It was easy, and they're super fun because of how simple they are. But I'm going to build a full cabinet from scratch, so, I'll probably dismantle it and build it into the cabinet itself.
Very well worth it.
Ιερώνυμος Κόραξ Nice!
Yeah. I was thinking of making some cash off it...building ultra custom sticks for people, for a much more economical price than a standard big company stick. What do you think?
Ιερώνυμος Κόραξ seems good.
Great job
Really awesome! Great video.
Is this compatible for ps4?
@@peterpapasouzas8317
Yes if you use his directions here...

I am going to get some really sick parts and use this video as a reference. Note I have no idea what i am doing
Seems pretty much straightforward, the problem is to have a driller like that. Since it's just some holes it definitely would be cheaper and safer to give it to a joiner.
Very well presented, nice video! subbed.
how do you know though if it is a, b or c
cause i am doing this for jojo hftf
A is light punch B is Medium Punch and C is Heavy Punch
Thanks for the great guide. I'm definitely gonna come back to this video in the future for reference ^_^
And for those who doesnt even know how to cut wood like me, just a thick styrofoam tablette, you can cut it an change it when its starting to get slack. Thats what i do and it does the job for about a week
Hello, I have a question. What size are the holes on the usb encoder? M3 seems to be too tight to fit in.
How large should you print the stencil paper so that all of the circles are the right size?
Very good thanks
Very nice.
May I know how to directly connect the same USB arcade stick to JAMMA board?
Why did you build it so the box is upside down? IMHO it would have looked better with box right side up. You could still open it and put in a Raspberry Pi if you wanted.
Very nice build, i wonder who gave him 48 thumbs down??
Very nice man!
Great video, this helped me allot
Hi, congratulations, you made a very good work. Did you make any video playing with this arcade stick?
I don't like drilling I'm too much of a brute and too impatient, but I'm sure they sell boxes that already have the proper holes (I hope)
are you going to make another one??? like ur content
Very Cool
Nice video. youre a pretty chill looking dude too, pleasant for a youtube channel.
Oh no! Woodworking blowout on that back usb hole. Wood putty for sure. Very good except no coverage of how to load a driver and test it on the pc. $70 not including the special drill bits (and wood putty) add that and it's already $100 - is it much nicer than a manufactured controller?
This video was very helpfull! Thank you so much
Where do I get buttons that make a click springy sound like mechanical keyboards with blue switches?
Awesomeness !!!
I think is amaizing but is a little bit small por te hand in the joystic
Dude I'm an idiot, and so is everyone around me who I've seen drill pilot holes. Never even considered a 90 degree scrap wood block to line the bit up better.
Need to try to create this. My obsidian feels a little too much for 4 button fighters like UNIEL.
Side note my box had thin side walls so when I drilled them in they affected my other buttons i fixed it by moving the buttons further down ... but not before blowing out the panel and replacing it with a very thin piece of ply wood 😣
very good tks from brazil
