Is there any information you can share about the blue PCB Board that uses a PC power supply? I recently came across one of those but it's difficult to find information about it. Thanks

Is the ultimarc 360 the only one you know of that can do full x and y axis movement? Are there any others that get the full spectrum more more a modern video game thumb stick? Im thinking of putting an indie game in a cabinet and it requires this full range of movement.

Are there any normally open momentary switches?

can you make me a rotary arcade stick, one or 2 players.if only one player is rotary it won't matter.

no soup for you NEXT!!!! but joking aside........I have a ps to usb adapter....can I hook up this thing to my PS? How about drivers? Do I need to download and istall them_

Ive been researching this topic for years - never getting to a place of confidence to build my own cabinet.... I hope your videos change this for me. Would love to get the gear and start the build.

RPi4+ isn't too bad for latency, but requires config usually. I've only tested spinners, but I'll test a couple trackballs too. Thanks for another great video. Surprisingly hard to find people talking about how long the balls roll, which is pretty important when picking which ball to use.

Awesome work, Casey! I’m not sure where in Canada you’re located, but it would be amazing if you offered in-person workshops too. Way to go!

Is the shaft long enough for the servo sticks. If it's just a hole pass though mounted on the bottom like you have it? I don't see any cutout??

No cutout for the servo stick needed? Just mount on bottom center to hole ? What thickness of wood are you using?

What types of guns are those?

Can the actual switch/led be removed from the button?

how can I make a joystick for tekken 8 i need it for commercial..

Ty!!! Nice video!

As a new person to the hobby I really appreciate this tutorial series you have been doing. Thank you. Are you available for advice for the novice by chance. Please keep it up

This is a great informational video! Straight forward and to the point.

I get that this channel is just tutorial videos for your website but I LOVE the videos and patiently wait for every new video you upload! ❤

Suzo Trackball: which wire do I‘ve to wire when I need left/middle/right mouse buttons ?

why do you look like elon musk

Ok - I have a custom arcade cabinet and some buttons are giving me problems now 5 years later - from what I understand the fusions are better than IL for lifespan?

I have a arcade1up mortal kombat. Is there any better 8 way fight joysticks you can recommend that will work. The joystick it comes with it doesn’t seem so loose. It’s kind of like tight.

All very helpful videos, this is becoming my go to channel for help with my first project 😊

literally everyone who does competition fighting uses sanwa. Literally everyone.

Have you ever tried the Ultimarc Ultrastik 360? What are your thoughts?

Mate, your legend you have helped me so much aye but a quick one which would you prefer over the 2?

Thank you for this video and the PDF diagrams on your website. Awesome resources.

I'm interested in seeing if these are viable for a DIY music device

22:10 I'm gonna call my wife The Nut Wrench... she also says my nuts are big, ugly, and gross... but she'll still crank on them 👍

I used plywood for my cabinet, because MDF and particleboard turn to oatmeal if they are exposed to moisture. Furniture-grade plywood will not delaminate over time as described in this video, except under extreme conditions that would totally destroy paritcleboard or MDF. Plywood is also nowhere near as heavy as the other two. It's still heavy enough to stay put, but not so heavy that you can't move it if you need to. I moved house a couple of years ago, and was able to get my arcade machine down the stairs from the second floor all by myself. No way I could have done that if it had been made of MDF or particleboard.

still have no clue what im doing

I have a question what brand is spring loaded?

There is no PCB . PCB does not explain a mechanism of a switch a PCB inside the button does nothing and would do nothing. It would been more apt to compare sanwa switches to "switches somewhat like mechanical keyboards" - It would not been entirely correct either but it is in same ball park away from microswitch actuated buttons. What is ACTUALLY inside Sanwa style switch for their buttons is two contacts, a ball bearing and a spring. When pressed the ball bearing goes down a plastic ledge against two contact points. The spring ... more or less according to scholars; SOMEHOW also keeps the ball bearing UP until pressed again, this is because of a notch in the plunger that keeps the ball bearing with the slightly horn shaped spring in right neutral position when not pressed. But no button, NO BUTTON "has just a PCB" inside, PCB is where you attach switches to not what a switch mechanism comprises for. Even a magnetically activated button would have a mechanism of magnets or such and not "a PCB inside". TL;DR: Japanese buttons, as far as I know both Seimitsu and Sanwa have: Two internal contacts (same ones you see outside actually), a ball bearing, a spring, and clever stuff with housing. They are actually rather easy to take apart, clean up and thus "refurbish" rather than replace entirely every time. The mechanism is clever, simple and gives a feel of a "gaming keyboard" for lack of better comparison, they are rather linear and react fast to inputs. Japanese rhythm games actually have more american like setup with microswitches. VERY similar to 20 dollar sanwa buttonws without a switch. And goes without saying: if you are building a japanese style cabinet you will use japanese parts. Japan uses these sanwa and seimitsu parts in their cabinets and since Japan still has an arcade market, those buttons and sticks are around in those cabinets. Both retro and new machines use them and are still in use widely in japan. And, the superiority of those parts especially for playing shmups without turbo is unparalled, you cannot two finger drum a microswitch button like a sanwa or seimitsu. Maybe if you use a 15 or 20g microswitch without a spring, maybe. But, I cannot claim your knowledge of special and less special western arcade parts is not on point. Funny enough that same stuff applies to Japanese sanwa buttons used in rhythm games and such, they are very similar just the outside shape is different and microswitch line used is Omron as it is in the Japanese sticks.

I have heard people refer to Sanwa buttons as having micro switches before. But I guess that's not technically accurate?

Perfect! Will check out!

Which button for pinball

Question! I built a cabinet and I'm testing the buttons and sticks at the moment. I have an analog joystick and I've noticed it hits the sides of the holes in the cabinet a bit. Is there a type of cushion or cover for the hole that doesn't interfere with the 8 directional switches? Also I'm worried the mounting screws for the joystick will come off the cabinet, any advice on how to make sure it stays mounted properly? (Wood glue on the screws or something?) Thanks

I have an arcade stick, pin and I wanted to use it in a synth project

Heads up.... Ultimarc has gold leaf buttons.😅

Dude, why are you the only one covering all of this clearly? TY!!

What's your phone number again

Goodjob

Quick question but when doing cleaning/maintenance on a iL eurojoystick does it need any lubricant like a jlf?

Just to point out, microswitch joysticks aren't analogue.

Hi Casey, I noticed that in your video you were talking about response times in contexts of games, but what would happen if I were to, say, try to use these buttons for something that's *not* a game? I know Buckethead used to have his own signature guitar where he had two Sanwa buttons in his guitar and both of them were basically momentary buttons where, because engaging it would kill the signal, he would often create a stutter effect manually by repeatedly pressing the button and thus using the button in tandem with the guitar's signal to come up with crazier-than-normal shreds on his guitar. Is the Sanwa really that helpful for something like *that*, or is it more of an old-school situation where you don't really notice the difference?
