FS/FT: Custom Neo Geo arcade sticks!

Available with various color arrangements, top and bottom engraved acrylic, two different sizes, and choice of button type, color, joystick mechanism, and ball/battop.

For custom options feel free to let me know. The small size was a customer request and required a total redesign of the whole stick. I'm certainly willing to entertain just about anything if it's possible!

I'm also interested in trading for other Neo Geo stuff!

Dang. Love the Carbon Fiber look.

 

[Dr. Meat]

Thanks! Yeah, I tried it out with the black one since I had a little roll of it left over and just wanted to see how it'd turn out. Ended up really liking the look of it and got a bunch of it along with red and white, too.

 

[joecommando]

Damn! these are so legit. I really want a couple but now is a bad time as I'm getting ready to move. If you're still doing these in a few months I'm down.

 

[Dr. Meat]

I'm in it for the long haul, so they'll definitely be available later.

 

[Jontox]

Wow Great joystick!

Definitely interested in one but first let me go through my notes on joystick/button types and characteristics.

I will ask you some questions here if you don’t mind.

Have a nice WE

So what kind of connector is at the end of the cable? Is this meant for MVS/AES or is it USB, or do we get to pick?

 

[Jedah Doma]

Wow, very nice work. Clean yet classy.

 

[Shakepants]

Quality stuff. Wood have been spot on without the plate in the front. Is that customizable?

 

[Jontox]

Sorry for big pictures, don't know the VB code to resize them.

Would these be compatible with your Joystick Dr Meat ?

Is you joystick layout same as this one ? Your buttons positioning seems closer.

N.B.: A black spray on the inside border of the wood case would be great to avoid any visible wood underneath the acrylic top plate. Why not a meter O-ring with the appropriate diameter compressed between the top plate and the wooden case to mask everything?

It uses a DB-15 cable for the AES/MVS/CD. I don't currently have a USB version available, but that'd just be a matter of putting in an encoder.

Thanks! It's not a problem to make it without the front plate on it.

That's the layout I use for the buttons. Mine seem closer because the bezels on the top of the buttons are wider than the holes. All of the parts you listed would be compatible with the enclosure. The visible wood thing is a detail I've tried to dial out. I could paint the top of it or something like that. I'm just trying to keep the cost/time involved with these to a minimum because they're already quite expensive and time consuming.

 

[enix2093]

Cool, thanks. I might snag one or two once I get my AES out of storage.

 

[Jontox]

Look at what I found on YouTube.

Additional information needed before I pull the trigger:
Is the joystick a seimitsu new ls-32 when electing for seimitsu?
Are buttons seimitsu 30mm and 24mm for start and select on the side?
6 feet long cable?

Any review or picture with player’s hands on the normal and small version?

The joystick can be whatever model you'd like. All of the Seimitsus have the same mounting points. Sanwa also fits in place, too.

The face buttons are 30mm and the start / select are 24mm.

And in that video the black one is the smaller sized one. He eventually went with the small size on both. As far as I've seen that's the only review out there on them.

I just got my two custom sticks. I picked everything out I wanted and they came out fantastic. Nice and sturdy, the buttons were responsive and made me feel like I was in full control. The engraving gave the sticks a high-end quality I wasn't expecting. Each stick came in its own custom black cardboard box with the his logo, a nice cut out separator, and a couple Neo-Geo stickers. That blew me away. Everything came packaged very well with care and nothing was damaged during shipping. I think they are worth every dollar he is asking and you shouldn't be worried about anything.

On a side note, I asked to get a bottom plate made for my CMVS MV-1c board and he took on the challenge. Also engraved (which took me by surprise), the plate was 1/4" thick with the same nice round feet that were on the fight-sticks. It is durable and with no sharp corners, one can apply the needed pressure without concern about damage to the system or the table its sitting on.

I highly suggest everybody get a pair of these sticks. Sorry for the review/ reference here but just wanted others to know if they are considering them.

Hey, are you still selling these sticks? They look awesome!

Thanks, glad you like em! I will begin manufacturing them again shortly, I've just been unable to work on any projects like that for a while for various reasons. PM me and let me know what all you'd be after and we can possibly work out a timeline to get it done.

 

[fasteddie]

Is it possible for you to PM me? I don't seem to be able to send any PMs right now, or if you have any other contact information, that'd be great too. I'm just looking for 2 sticks. THANKS!
