Hey guys. Finished this recently after setting it aside for about a year and a half. (click to enlarge) This is a homemade arcade stick for the Xbox 360. It's initial design came about when SF2 HF was released for Xbox Live Arcade back in early 2006. It is obviously designed around Street Fighter 2. The layout and colors of the buttons give that away. Features:- Authentic Happ arcade controls: Competition 8 way joystick, Competition arcade buttons (convex) - Wood casing - Full 360 button set including guide and sync buttons - Wireless - Headphone jack - DOA4 style button layout The inside was built off of an official Microsoft Xbox 360 controller (early revision - Wireless Matrix controller) As mentioned above, the button layout was similar to that of the DOA4 Arcade Stick by HORI. The colors are all in the same place as the DOA4 stick. They aren't labeled, but they are easy to memorize if you are used to the HORI stick. No LEDs in this design, but I thought the 1 Player start arcade button would be a nice item to use for the 360's guide button. (click to enlarge) There is a noticeable height difference (as well as weight difference) I find it very easy to use for SF2. The stick and buttons are slightly to the left side of the controller. This is easier on the hands as the left hand is always stationary compared to the right hand which tends to move quite a bit during combat. I'm interested in hearing from anyone regarding this design. How would you design your own controller? Concave or convex? Ergonomically placed buttons (DOA4 stick) or straight line (SF2 cabinet)?

Nice job ck; I instantly think "street fighter" when I see that controller too. Are you thinking of adding any art to it, ie, sf logos, characters, etc.? how does the weight difference effect play? I think I prefer the "straight line"-style button config, maybe bc I'm used to it more than the "curved" style. Again, good job, and I'm glad you're having fun w/ it! Hadoken!!
