I'm just looking to gauge interest on some possible custom Neo/PC/PS3 sticks. I have built a couple of prototypes to test fit, finish, playability etc... I wanted to build a stick with the best parts and hardware available. So here is what I came up with:
It may look like others
, but remember, better inside and out; that's 3/4" melamine coated plywood with 3/8" dowel joints, and secured with 1/16" thick steel brackets (it will outlive you). Your choice of American or Japanese sticks and buttons, Real IL components (not cheap Happ Chinese crap) for the american style, and Sanwa JLF, OBSN Buttons for the japanese parts. I'll also look at adding Semitsu LS40 Sticks and buttons as well.
The artwork is coated with a 5 mil thick overlay so no need for plexi cover. These sticks are mine and obviously anything I sell (If I decide to sell em) won't say NeoGeo, MVS and SNK since those are trademarked. This is the Japanese stick with a JLF that needs to be bolted through the top (the American sticks can be under mounted). On top of that stick is a 35mm black anodized ball top (my personal fave) but you would be able to specify what you want on top.
Side view of the stick. You can see the front is canted back under the stick to give it a less boxy look. The stick has a 6 degree slope from back to front. The whole stick is 2 1/2" thick at the front and 3 3/4" thick at the back of the stick. I'm also thinking of offering a thinner version of the stick that will be 1 1/2" thick at the front and 2 3/4" at the back, but the thinner stick would mean that american parts would not be an option and you would have to use japanese sticks and buttons.
DB15 port for use with your AES/CMVS. Ofcourse I'd include the cable to plug it into your AES. Also pictured is the USB port that would allow you to use the stick on your PC and PS3. Xbox 360 would also be an option but would probably cost more.
Picture of a couple of other button layouts. The NeoGeo 4-25 v2 button layout as well as a possible 8 button configuration more suited for use on a PS3 (Hadouken
)
So there it is... Let me know what you think... Questions, Comments, Criticisim, Suggestions... Let me know!

I didn't want to put anything out there until I had the slim versions done... But I'll add those on later...
