I’ve never been a fan of semitsu, they just don’t feel right to me. But the best part of arcade hardware is that it’s all preference
Thanks for the explanation. I probably should’ve known better but at least it’s an easy fix. Had to reopen it anyway cause I forgot to tighten down the ball topseparate the grounds accordingly so the inputs don't conflict, there's a reason for it to be the way it was originally. When there's a common ground line which is most of the time, you can daisy chain grounds all day but when you have different diodes between ground lines and what have you they are "separated" and thus the need for separated ground lines for your buttons. Hope that helps.

I used the same grease I use on levers for the Neo CD Pads and it made a real difference. If proficient with soldering one could replace the D-pad switches.
The problem is that the CD pad microswitches are not an off the shelf part. I have experimented using a few different types and sizes as replacements but they never feel the same. Best You can do is take 2 broken ones and make a working one out of both of them. At least you will have replacement parts if it goes out again.
View attachment 56088. Made some changes to the bean. Hell of a lot of work inside there but worth it in the end
24 mm sanwa snap ins(the start and select ones are clones). Also a lil joystick extension and a red ball top. I was trying to use the original start and select buttons but I muffed up the board so had to go with plan b. It’s a pleasure to use now for beat em ups and run n guns.Virus has really delayed any work on this for a lot of reasons.
How did you mod the bean?
