An example of how to do an Arcade stick, full wiring instructions be carefull if you attempt one as the pads on the controller are very delicate and easily fall off.

  • I keep reading about soldering 10k resistors for the triggers to make them neutral. Did you use any resistors?

  • @doug1180 not needed unless you remove the triggers from the PCB, if you leave them in they should remain in the unpressed position.

  • Sweet. Great video. If I want to connect the d-pad up to buttons rather than a joystick, how do I need to go about that?

  • @Setzer should be the same connections on the xbox controller just 2 wires go to each button instead of a joystick

  • where i can get these buttons?

  • @dennisrahardian I got them from Gremlin solutions, but they are available a few places on the net.

  • hey so I am working on building my own fight stick and I was wondering what gauge wire you used on the joy stick? Also I see you used red and black wire, was black considred your ground?

  • Hey man great video.I have one question .I have street fighter IV SE arcade stick for ps3 and i am wondering if there is any way to make it work with xbox 360 too?Can u tell me ?Thanks

  • @johnbooth001 I suspected as much. I looked allover for neutralizing the triggers and found only poor quality videos. Thank you for taking time out of your life to answer, now I have a project to finish.

  • wouldnt it be easier to use 2 xbox360 hori or equivilant fight sticks and just strip them down and reconect the controls to your main cabinet controls if you were building a mame/retro/xbox360 cabinet?

  • I already built a custom 360 arcade controller and I've have recently had wiring issues. Would you be solder the wires to a new 360 wired controller circuit board, including the triggers? If so, how much would you charge? I will pay for the circuit board from the controller too.

  • what kind of buttons are those and where can i get them
