An arcade stick thread

[Decider-VT]

I didn't think it was possible to put an LS-32 stick into a HRAP3 as I read that it had the same mounting plate as the HRAP1b... did you have to make any further modifications to get it to fit?

[Pavey]

Your right Barrie, it's not possible.

It's an LS-56 (slightly longer shaft).

[Soundwave]

Wow Nick the HRAP looks awesome
Love the colour combo

One day I'll add a PS3 stick to the collection...Blazblue is killing my thunbs lol

Which reminds me I need to get that LS-32 & buttons ordered ready for the DOA stick.

Ah, thought I was going loopy for a moment..! Time to get onto ordering my buttons and an LS-56-01 since my meshballs arrived a couple of weeks ago...

[Pavey]

This guy is really good mate, next day delivery.

Only has blue buttons though i think, which bizarrely is exactly what i wanted

Seems good, although I placed my order with Gremlin already! I'll be keeping an eye on that seller's 24mm buttons, though.

My order from Gremlin turned up today. Got my HRAP1b kitted out with Sanwa buttons and a Seimitsu LS-56-01 and tested it on SFIV- it felt much more responsive. Looks great too, just need to get some Krylon for the little turbo switches that are still an unfortunate shade of green!

Let's have a butchers Barrie

What colour buttons did you go for?

[Atticus]

Had a go with EX-SE last night and the first thing that struck me was just how used to the JLF I was (it's been a good year since I used a Seimitsu stick). So it took a little while to adjust. As you'd expect input is tighter and faster, making it a perfect stick for shooters. I slightly prefer the button layout shape of the TE but it's really all about that stubby little LS-32. Can't see me modding this baby in a hurry.

[Kubrick]

Nice. I think I'd personally prefer it if the colour scheme was reversed though (black casing, white panel). Would be a better match for an Elite.

The HRAP-EX you sold me a few months back is also packing a LS-32 these days.

[Pavey]

In my opinion, can't see why you'd sell a Rap EX for an SE, instead of changing the stick to a LS-32.

Just my opinion though, as i prefer the black, and hate the 4 colour buttons.

[Atticus]

I always saw a stick mod as a chore. Isn't there soldering involved?

Personally I love the SE straight off the shelf; white (it's kind of off white) casing, old-school primary coloured buttons, the whole shebang.
