+Invincible 2016 I bought it off someone who made a couple. If you want a custom wooden one made just for you check out facebook.com/FoeHammerCustomJoysticks/?fref=ts Let Doug know who sent you.
it actually bothers me that the directional harness HAS to be towards the buttons, I wire up all my sticks to the the jlf harness goes away from the buttons towards the outside of the case I personally just think it looks nicer but i guess if I have to bite the bullet and do it that way I will
A little more research and I discovered that, yes, you COULD just leave it banging around in the case. However, if you want to, Focus Attack does sell little plastic feet with glue to hold the PCB.
Ah, I see. I looked up PCB kits and Focus Attack also sells ones where the PCB's have holes in the corners. I was actually thinking about getting a Mayflash F300 and putting in that whole setup in there when the original parts poop out on me, basically screwing in the new one where the old one was as long as it fits, that is.
Is there a way I can use 4 buttons for the d-pad rather than the stick? I've never used an arcade stick, and buttons seem like they'd be easier to use.
As a person whose country has a 54% import tax on videogame controllers but about 15% on electronic components, would it be cheaper to assemble my own stick and which pieces do I have to build myself?
Probably a dumb question but Can I use these fightsticks as a Dpad for FPS with a mouse too I have no finger function due to an accident and am looking for a way to move around and push buttons with my palms. Wondering if the PC will not recognize the controller for some dumb reason before I buy one
Most games will not automatically detect a dpad for movement. However, as long as you're playing on PC, you could get a keyboard pcb and solder buttons to it. I'd recommend looking for a busted mechanical keyboard, as it's much simpler to solder to than a rubber membrane. Then you'd just tuck it in a box, and you could hook it up as a regular keyboard.
Awesome tutorial. Im using this same kit for a completely gutted TE1 case. Question. Any tips on where I could possibly screw down this PCB in that type of case? I don't have the screws available for that were included with the old PCB for the TE1.
+George Mooey I have not worked in that case but If the screwholes for the original pcb line up you might be to use that. Or you could try something like this www.focusattack.com/hardware-pcb/hardware-accessories/hardware-mounting/ And if all else fails... HOT GLUE!
+Fundando (Fundando) thanks! I don't have access to any of those tools yet, so for now, I think i'll ghetto mount it with some ties :P Also, question. Where'd you buy that case?
+Fundando (Fundando) hey, im having more trouble with this board. So I wired up all the buttons, but my 3k, 4k, and 4p buttons are not acting responsively. Testing it on PC and the button diagrams on the controller settings aren't properly showing up for 3k and 4k, and 4p has a really badly unresponsive button. Can you help me out? Its not the buttons themselves, as Ive tested different buttons and it didn't seem to fix the issue at all.
could you make controller like that with 2 joysticks and a Dpad? I have one but I have to use the Titan1 adapter to use the controller on ps4 and it's a pain.
I got a problem with my arcade stick that my father bought for a cheap prize. only 2 buttons are working. Try to map it on ppspp with my android. I mapped the 2 buttons at the upper right says pad1.[A] the other is pad1.[B]. And all the rest of the buttons are the same including the 2 small buttons they all function as pad1.00?. Please help me
I have a problem with my Crown 307 joystick with this board. Every other button works except my joystick only inputs "UP" (while pulling down, it is so weird)
Vincent Brian Bernardo check the 5 pin at the joystick.. it is most likely installed backwards. at the board it is keyed to go one way only, at the joy it is not. flip it and you'll be good to go
Hey man, great video. I've never built a fightstick before or done any project like this, but your video makes me feel capable haha. I just checked out your website and saw that the kit isn't available right now. Do you plan on restocking soon? Also, I live in Canada. Do you have any issues with shipping to here? Thanks! Jake
+Jacob Shevloff Hi Jake, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I do not work for focusattack.com I can tell you that they do ship to canada. try contacting them through e-mail. They are pretty responsive to questions.
Hey! Do you build custom controllers for sale? I'd love to buy a ps4 controller but wider so my hands can be at my side but can't find anything about it on the internet. I'm not too knowledgeable on electronics
Can i use this to convert my old Madcatz Fightstick pro to a PS4 controller? I figured if i just replaced the PCB it would work, but i'm not really sure if the USB connector fits that PCB.
Is building a fight stick like shown in this video basically how all are made? I'm thinking of buying one from arcadeshock prebuilt but if building one is this easy I might do that
hey, so what can I do if my my buttons are activating without pressing them? I dont have the 3xp and 3xk buttons hooked up to any button on my stick with this PCB, but they'll activate whenever i move around sometimes. Is it possible to just cut the wires off to solve my issue?
Got mine in the mail today, wired it up, and nothing recognizes it. Cant update the firmware, because I cant get the driver program to recognize that I plugged the stick in. I have the home and share wired up to start and select on my madcatz stick so that I can have them both pressed when I plug it in. Seems weird that it's home and share, and not options and share. Are there any extra windows drivers I'm missing? I just get an unrecognized usb device error.
I followed your video and all the buttons worked beautifully! However, my sanwa stick is not functioning properly. At first, I plugged it in upside down so the controls were flipped. So I plugged it with the red markings down and now the controls are still flipped except all of the directions don't work except down (which is up). Any help? Thanks in advance.
Can anyone show me where to get a case like this? I'm just looking for a simple wood enclosure with a 8-button layout and the ability to add my own artwork. Forhammer is overkill and he never gets back to me with my questions. Any advice?
has anyone tried converting an old stick like an eightarc with this new ps4 module? I know it must work, but I'm not sure how elegant or convenient it would be to just rip out the old PCB and somehow mount this one. thanks
Is it possible to make one but have 4 buttons instead if a joystick. Is the re a board for that or a way to alter or modify the joystick board? I would love that since I can use d-pad or joystick very well. Thank's of you can answer.
Will this PCB work with Nintendo Switch as well? I'm thinking of making a custom stick for Street Fighter 30th anniversary, which I got for the Switch.
+Kyle Nix Nope. You can just leave that disconnected and the signal will just pass through. Just make sure it is not touching any connection you are not supposed to with it. It is best to tie it back with something like a zip tie.
What about the touchpad wire to install ? I was wanting to install the touchpad to 1 sanwa button, since lot of fighting games require a touchpad in practice mode. @fundando
Loved the video, but have a question: does the FocusAttack prebuilt linked in the description come with the buttons and joystick, or are those purchased separately?
What if I want to buy Razer Atrox x360 edition first then after a few months (probably after Tekken 7 comes out) change the board to this one ? Would it go well without changing cabling too much, only the USB cable if neccessary ? How would I avoid potential incompatibilites of cabling if there could be any ? I know it's a lot of questions, but It's been hard for me to find most info for me and I'm overall new to arcade sticks. Thanks for answers in advance :)
Any chance this works with the Playstation TV? Look, I know, nobody's using the damned thing, but I've got a bunch of emulators on mine and I might as well make SOME use of it.
. You could upgrade a PS3 arcade stick/xbox 360 arcade stick using one of these kits which is pretty ideal for those that fighting games with a stick on previous consoles
Nice to see you include a joystick wiring harness for .187" connectors, but is there an option to get a button harness for them as well? I'd love to be able to use this to make a stick with IL buttons.
cyclic730 Those legacy connectors? You should gather the courage to not add one and buy airpods and dongles. There's simply no room for a headphone jack. 😁
There's a couple stores online that sell simple kit boxes if you do some google research, but really you can do it all yourself with some basic power tools.
I do not use anything. I have a wooden stick that I have used for over 8 years and I have never had mold build up. Then again, I live in Las Vegas. It is dry down here.
I wanted to build myself a cheap fight stick, I'm 3d printing the enclosure and I wanted to use the crown joystick For tekken (I'm okay with using sanwa too honestly) but is it possible to use the crown joystick with this kit?
utiliza la Brook PS3/PS4 Fight Board solo que en focusattack al parecer ya no venden toda la pcb completa, ahora solo vende una pequeña pcb y tu tienes que soldar los cables aunque no es tan dificil (y si, es para ps3 y ps4)
Use the additional wiring wiring harness with the .187" quick disconnects and crimp .110" quick disconnects on all the ends. www.focusattack.com/110-2-8mm-open-barrel-non-insulated-quick-disconnect-terminal/
Sounds great! Is that the only thing that comes to mind of what I would need? I have a setup already but I just want to switch out pcbs for this one. Also, does this handle SOCD well? Reason Im switching is my current pcb inputs up-left if I hit 3 cardinal directions at once hahah
I purchased this breakout board and found this video very helpful. Got my stick up and running in an evening. Thanks so much!
Glad to help!
I want to know how to build that exact fight stick Omg it looks so good
Best Custom FightStick Ever Seen Before !!!!!!
Did you make the case or did you buy it and built it to your liking?
+Invincible 2016 I bought it off someone who made a couple. If you want a custom wooden one made just for you check out facebook.com/FoeHammerCustomJoysticks/?fref=ts Let Doug know who sent you.
That looks beautiful. Cheers for info
FANTASTIC
How much size of the case and do you have template?
Definitely is A LOT easier if you buy the pieces and just have to assemble it.
u still gotta buy the buttons and wires might as well buy the whole thing
it actually bothers me that the directional harness HAS to be towards the buttons, I wire up all my sticks to the the jlf harness goes away from the buttons towards the outside of the case I personally just think it looks nicer but i guess if I have to bite the bullet and do it that way I will
Really nice and helpful video. Thanks.
+Smael Neo Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed.
i would really like to see this type of PCB but for 360 and Xbone
see my universal fightstick video.
The only thing I'm wondering is how to mount the PCB to the case. How do you do that? Or are you just letting it bang around loose in the case?
I was wondering the exact same thing.
A little more research and I discovered that, yes, you COULD just leave it banging around in the case. However, if you want to, Focus Attack does sell little plastic feet with glue to hold the PCB.
Ah, I see. I looked up PCB kits and Focus Attack also sells ones where the PCB's have holes in the corners. I was actually thinking about getting a Mayflash F300 and putting in that whole setup in there when the original parts poop out on me, basically screwing in the new one where the old one was as long as it fits, that is.
I know you already found a solution but you could also glue plastic standoffs into the case and screw it to that.
Yup, i have it that way.
Is there a way I can use 4 buttons for the d-pad rather than the stick? I've never used an arcade stick, and buttons seem like they'd be easier to use.
yup check out threads about "hitbox" on shoryuken.com for layouts.
nice playmat. what card games u play?
Jiveturkey54 used to play mtg and yugioh. Now I just play mtg duels.
Id like to make a case, but wood is meh.
I'm gonna try this to try to bring new life to a broken tes+.
dubtroll any luck with your TES+? Mine is dead too.
As a person whose country has a 54% import tax on videogame controllers but about 15% on electronic components, would it be cheaper to assemble my own stick and which pieces do I have to build myself?
I liked the tutorial friend, what are the measures of that arcade stick and the image of akuma?
Greetings from Peru
Probably a dumb question but Can I use these fightsticks as a Dpad for FPS with a mouse too I have no finger function due to an accident and am looking for a way to move around and push buttons with my palms.

since there is no analog control, even if you could map it, it would be less than ideal.

Also, question. Where'd you buy that case?
+George Mooey someone was selling it on the forums over at shoyuken.com
+Fundando (Fundando) hey, im having more trouble with this board. So I wired up all the buttons, but my 3k, 4k, and 4p buttons are not acting responsively. Testing it on PC and the button diagrams on the controller settings aren't properly showing up for 3k and 4k, and 4p has a really badly unresponsive button. Can you help me out? Its not the buttons themselves, as Ive tested different buttons and it didn't seem to fix the issue at all.
+George Mooey Hey I saw on SRK that you fixed your issue by hooking up into a different usb port.
Can you also add one extra button on each side for pinball games??????????????????????
Yoda I Am absolutely
could you make controller like that with 2 joysticks and a Dpad? I have one but I have to use the Titan1 adapter to use the controller on ps4 and it's a pain.
I got a problem with my arcade stick that my father bought for a cheap prize. only 2 buttons are working. Try to map it on ppspp with my android. I mapped the 2 buttons at the upper right says pad1.[A] the other is pad1.[B]. And all the rest of the buttons are the same including the 2 small buttons they all function as pad1.00?. Please help me
That was neat, but sadly all those items are out of stock now.
Is it full Sanwa?
Also, where did you purchase the skin/ wood box?
The joy is jlf, not sure about the buttons.
Those buttons are Sanwa
yeah I'd know sanwa buttons like the arcade cabinets I've made
Just ordered my buttons from you guys@!
Why do so many fightsticks use USB type B?
I have a problem with my Crown 307 joystick with this board. Every other button works except my joystick only inputs "UP" (while pulling down, it is so weird)
Vincent Brian Bernardo check the 5 pin at the joystick.. it is most likely installed backwards. at the board it is keyed to go one way only, at the joy it is not.
flip it and you'll be good to go
So.. What happened?
Great instructional vid. Did you customer make the stick case as well?
Nevermind I saw your reply to this same question.
Hey man, great video.
I've never built a fightstick before or done any project like this, but your video makes me feel capable haha.
I just checked out your website and saw that the kit isn't available right now. Do you plan on restocking soon?
Also, I live in Canada. Do you have any issues with shipping to here?
Thanks!
Jake
+Jacob Shevloff Hi Jake, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I do not work for focusattack.com I can tell you that they do ship to canada. try contacting them through e-mail. They are pretty responsive to questions.
So how would you map it for mortal Kombat cause I understand the punch and kick 1, 2 but I don't know how I would map the block and etc.
Is there a video that shows us how to make the stick enclosure like yours?
Hey! Do you build custom controllers for sale? I'd love to buy a ps4 controller but wider so my hands can be at my side but can't find anything about it on the internet. I'm not too knowledgeable on electronics
Beautiful amazing i want something like that
Nice video, did the pcb screws come with the pcb or did you need to buy the sepretly?
I had them laying around from one of my various computer builds. they sell some mounting solution on their site.
Box size pleaae tell me
Lenth x width
And upper and down size of box
aprox 9x14
35 x 22.9 x 6 cm
Can i use this to convert my old Madcatz Fightstick pro to a PS4 controller? I figured if i just replaced the PCB it would work, but i'm not really sure if the USB connector fits that PCB.
where can i get a XBOX 360 PCB that is already soldered with wires? i can't do the soldering myself.
check out vickomods.com
Is building a fight stick like shown in this video basically how all are made?
I'm thinking of buying one from arcadeshock prebuilt but if building one is this easy I might do that

+Sean Horton Try using a different usb port or shorter usb cable. The drivers should install themselves on windows 10. Are you on windows 10?

So I plugged it with the red markings down and now the controls are still flipped except all of the directions don't work except down (which is up). Any help? Thanks in advance.
It's weird that most of these layouts have the joystick so high.
Positions the hands higher to let the wrist rest in a more comfortable position.
can i use these same instructions to build a mixbox or do keyboard keys need different wires than button keys?
Can you help me with the measurements of the tables that you used on your stick to create mine so anyway? Please friend, I would appreciate it
check out slagcoin.com
Can anyone show me where to get a case like this? I'm just looking for a simple wood enclosure with a 8-button layout and the ability to add my own artwork. Forhammer is overkill and he never gets back to me with my questions. Any advice?

What is the thickness of the top panel where you mounted the JLF joystick and buttons
Is it possible to make one but have 4 buttons instead if a joystick. Is the re a board for that or a way to alter or modify the joystick board?
I would love that since I can use d-pad or joystick very well.
Thank's of you can answer.
This is possible but you would have to rewire the joystick harness. You might look at the new board by brook instead.
Will it work on ps3.please tell☺
Se pasó por la raja la construcción de la carcaza? saludos.
should i just rewire my old 360 arcade stick to make it work on Ps4
i seriously dropped SFV because i didnt have a compatable stick
I bought this and the wiring harness doesn't fit the micro switches for happ buttons. What can I do?
you can buy adapters that change the connections to happ buttons
Will this PCB work with Nintendo Switch as well? I'm thinking of making a custom stick for Street Fighter 30th anniversary, which I got for the Switch.
Is it an issue that you have unconnected quick connect ground wire on your daisy chain floating in there?
+Kyle Nix Nope. You can just leave that disconnected and the signal will just pass through. Just make sure it is not touching any connection you are not supposed to with it. It is best to tie it back with something like a zip tie.

Loved the video, but have a question: does the FocusAttack prebuilt linked in the description come with the buttons and joystick, or are those purchased separately?
Probably seperate
Which wire and harness and which joystick and button to order ,so I can order from ebay ?
I'm new to this, I want to make a controller with 4 buttons in a straight line, they are 100mm each one, Do I have to do the same?
Did you need to put anything else with the stick, like a spring or a restrictor?
All those are optional enhancements for different playstyles. I do like a slightly bigger restrictor.
I know I'm late but Are there any more other fightboards? Or is the one you showed the only one that works?
What if I want to buy Razer Atrox x360 edition first then after a few months (probably after Tekken 7 comes out) change the board to this one ? Would it go well without changing cabling too much, only the USB cable if neccessary ? How would I avoid potential incompatibilites of cabling if there could be any ? I know it's a lot of questions, but It's been hard for me to find most info for me and I'm overall new to arcade sticks. Thanks for answers in advance :)
Great video
you helped me I made my own ps4 it looks like a original ps4 but it is made by me I also made a joystick
Does the kit include the joystick and USB cable? Sorry I'm new to this and I'm gonna start making my own stick.
No joystick and some of the kits do come with usb.
Fundando but it does come with everything in the video right? ( not the buttons or joystick)
Any chance this works with the Playstation TV? Look, I know, nobody's using the damned thing, but I've got a bunch of emulators on mine and I might as well make SOME use of it.
How do you put emulators on your playstation TV?
You're going to have to look that up on Wololo, Hackinformer, and GBAtemp, but yes you can.
Is the Orion OG I want it 👀
It is sooooo old school. I love it
where can i get the wood board, stick and buttons from?
Why go for all these hassle when you can buy arcade stick for the same price as accessories 🤔
. You could upgrade a PS3 arcade stick/xbox 360 arcade stick using one of these kits which is pretty ideal for those that fighting games with a stick on previous consoles
So what USB would I use to connect it to a PS3
The link in the description is broken
Hi what is the size of the box width & lenght want to make my fightstick. tnx
I don't have it anymore to measure but check out slagcoin.com
Where can I get a wooden case like yours? Some of the links in your video description don’t work.
Mike Sandoval foahammershop makes some of the best wooden cases. Message them on Facebook. I got this from a forum
Member of shoryuken.com
Fundando, thank you so much for this awesome video. I will look into foahammershop.
Nice to see you include a joystick wiring harness for .187" connectors, but is there an option to get a button harness for them as well? I'd love to be able to use this to make a stick with IL buttons.
I do not make this product and would ask the folks at focusattack. Or you could just crimp .187 connectors. they also sel .110 - .187 adaptors
Fundando Wow, the vid was so pro I thought you were with FA. Good work, and sorry for the mistake.
Can i do this for a arcade joystick for PC ?
medens memor yes this works on of also
Do you have the wood width and depth information for the base of the stick? I want to make one myself.
I did not build this myself. check out slagcoin.com for some info on making your own
What are the required materials again?
is this compatible for tekken 7?
where did you get the case?????
The link provided doesn't seem to link me into this bundle :/
I updated the link. Thank you for letting me know. www.focusattack.com/ist-pre-installed-brook-ps3-ps4-fight-board-pcb-kit/
Is it compatible with PS3?
is there any way to add a headphone jack to this board?
cyclic730 Those legacy connectors? You should gather the courage to not add one and buy airpods and dongles. There's simply no room for a headphone jack. 😁
How come theres no connector for L1 and L2?
Anyone know where I can buy wooden case and a top with the standard capcom 6 grid?
There's a couple stores online that sell simple kit boxes if you do some google research, but really you can do it all yourself with some basic power tools.
@@DelightfulTyrant could you link that?
R.I.P. XB1, XB360 players
www.brookaccessory.com/product/
We have 5 in 1 board and converters
Can you make 1 that is made for free roam games ?
There is no analog support on any of these boards. Anything is possible with some fabrication and rewiring a controller
Since it is wood, what do you use to prevent it from mold to occur?
I do not use anything. I have a wooden stick that I have used for over 8 years and I have never had mold build up. Then again, I live in Las Vegas. It is dry down here.
this is going to sound silly,but can you still use a converter to play on a xbox one since I don't have a ps4?
yeah, but I would use the brook universal fighting board for xbox one instead. This will be compatible with pc, ps4, xbox one and xbox 360
I wanted to build myself a cheap fight stick, I'm 3d printing the enclosure and I wanted to use the crown joystick For tekken (I'm okay with using sanwa too honestly) but is it possible to use the crown joystick with this kit?
Yes it has an alternate harness for crown.
merci pour la vidéo 👍
Where did you get the case?
but can you put RGB light in it ?
Yes, but I would go a different route for LED lighting. Using this board is easy to install but not meant to add on.
have an ebay link? or product model number thanks
can i use this to play tekken 7?
What did you use to mount the PCB to the case
motherboard standoffs
Es para ps4? Que interfaz usas?
utiliza la Brook PS3/PS4 Fight Board solo que en focusattack al parecer ya no venden toda la pcb completa, ahora solo vende una pequeña pcb y tu tienes que soldar los cables aunque no es tan dificil (y si, es para ps3 y ps4)
How would I approach using this kit for making a Hitbox? I really want to buy this but I see its 5 pin for joysticks
Use the additional wiring wiring harness with the .187" quick disconnects and crimp .110" quick disconnects on all the ends.
www.focusattack.com/110-2-8mm-open-barrel-non-insulated-quick-disconnect-terminal/
Sounds great! Is that the only thing that comes to mind of what I would need? I have a setup already but I just want to switch out pcbs for this one. Also, does this handle SOCD well? Reason Im switching is my current pcb inputs up-left if I hit 3 cardinal directions at once hahah
The brook pcb has socd cleaner support built in. THat should be all you need.
Thanks for the reply! Hopefully I don't mess anything up lol.
Did it end up working? if so will you let me know how you did it, Im still a little confused. Thanks :)
Hi silly question when you print the layout in the printer, what setting is it on? Paper size is set to letter??
I don't print these myself. I have a commercial printer where I work and just give it to the team here to print off for me.
Fundando hi i have another question. How did you do.the sunken side button on the fight stick? What sizes did you use? Thank you
