The only thing I can't get used to are those damned square gates.
Luckily, sanwa makes octagonal gates for their sticks as well.

Octagonal gates won't help much IMO. Square gates are the standard for Japanese sticks for a reason.
If you want something with a more American feel I'd suggest installing an Seimitsu LS-56 with a harder spring and a circular Seimitsu restrictor.
I can't use arcade style sticks that don't click.
I'm also a fan of the bat-top, and octagon gate. Ordered those for my SF4 stick, and I'm way more comfortable with it now. I do a lot better, especially with dragon punch moves.
i have no interest putting jap parts in this thing... im trying to set it up as more of what i've been playing on in teh state all my childhood. its got top notch sanwa stuff in it already.
G-Boobie: thanks sooooo much for that link, it explained everything that i needed to know. basically theres no way i can put HAPP parts in this thing. guess i'll go build a new stick.
anyone know of a NON clicky jap joystick that'll fit in here? does sanwa make silent joysticks?
old school Street Fighter in arcades usually had competition style Hap joysticks, and those did have microswitches. They were just pretty quiet or maybe everything was so loud you didn't notice. The first cheap stick i bought had really loud switches, I hated it. I then modded and added Hap competition sticks, and although it still clicks I can barely hear it. The biggest differnces is the switches that were used on both sticks. The loud one had leaf switches, the competition had Cherry microswitches.
Sorry, when I designed this stick I did not design it with US parts in mind. US parts are way too big and you need much more room to fit things in nicely. If I were you I'd sell the stick and get a US custom.Originally Posted by Poofta!
MarkMan is probably right, Poofta. the good news is if you put the TE stick on Ebay, you're looking at something like 200 percent profit. The bad news is, there's a long wait for arcade parts right now. Street Fighter IV blew up in a big way.
If you want to build your own, one of the best places on the web for parts is Lizard Lick Amusements. They're closed to new orders until later this month, but their service is great.
If you want to just buy a custom stick, check out Arcade In A Box, Norris Arcade, or Electric Trouble. Just be aware that the wait times are starting to get into the two or three month territory.
does anyone just sell arcade boxes so i can add my own parts???
