Modding a Wii Hori stick with Sanwa Parts for Xbox 360: Part 2

[shadow2bolt]

Do you still have those hori buttons? Could you do a favour and see if the sanwa microswitches will fit in the hori buttons?

[CoverlessTech]

They *do* fit. However the fit is not perfect. It actually feels worst then the stock hori button.

[shadow2bolt]

Ah. so a 'lazy' mod would be pretty pointless then. oh well.

LOL This was such a funny vid! You're so unhandy lol! :) Good work though!

If you dont like the square face plate and you dont want to put the octogon one, is it safe to just remove it and play without a faceplate for a full circle motion?

[CoverlessTech]

Well it still a square, just much bigger. The throw on the stick might be a little to much. You can try it but I would say you'd be better off just getting use to the square.

huh. I tried screwing my wii ball onto my JLF and it didn't really work nearly as well as I thought. it was slightly too tight, and wouldn't go down all the way...

Are you possibly from Maine or Boston? By the way, thanks alot for this, I assume it will be the same for a FS3. I got one on discount from my work at gamestop. Yay for 29 bucks.

[CoverlessTech]

I'm from newfoundland canada... and yes it's pretty much the exact same as the FS3. The colors are different and it has a PS3 PCB, other then that it's pretty much the same.

do u guys deliver overseas?

[kaizen05]

my balltop cant be unscrew...I tried doing it and its stuck to the stick...

[CoverlessTech]

Did you put the flathead in the bottom and twist both the screwdriver and balltop in opposite directions? Give it more force. It's only screwed on.

[kaizen05]

yeah i did that..and its so hard that the screwdriver keeps slipping from the screw..the screws kinda worn out now.

[CoverlessTech]

Strange. Where you twisting the right way? Lefty loosy. It's only a ball with a nut in it, it shouldn't be impossible to take off.

[kaizen05]

i was twisting counter clockwise..I know its supposed to be like that..

[CoverlessTech]

Are you putting a JLF in it? You can take the shaft straight out with the ball top still on it. You have to remove the e ring on the bottom(little piece of metal holding the actuator on). Once that is taken off you can just pull the entire shaft up and out. I added an annotation at 2:47 that shows where it is.

[kaizen05]

wow finally...thanks :D

[biggerandbigger]

@CoverlessTech im about to change just the button>When i desolder , when i put back the sanwa button back on i just solder back on to the pcb board?.
