The AFS bundle is designed as a build-yourself kit. This iwill not come pre-assembled with any of the additional items you purchase, such as wire, PCB, joystick lever or buttons.
Relive your days of classic Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom 2, and countless other titles with the retro-minded AllFightsticks Happ/IL steel fightstick enclosure!
This sturdy steel enclosure was designed with a higher clearance to accomodate the larger Suzo Happ Competition or Industrias Lorenzo Eurosticks, plus taller 28mm screwbuttons with Cherry microswitches.
Enclosure height is taller than normal AFS 14 to accomodate IL EuroStick or Happ Competition Joystick, plus tall 28mm Happ or IL arcade buttons. | To install the joystick lever, remove the nylon nuts from the joystick mount using our 8mm-5/16 Hex Nut Driver for AllFightsticks Case or equivalent tool. | Your Happ or IL joystick lever mounts like this. Now you can finish assembling the lever or add connectors and wiring. |
Included in the case are holes designed to work with Sanwa JLF compatible mounts. Simply unscrew the included mounts using our 8mm-5/16 Hex Nut Driver for AllFightsticks Case or equivalent tool, then move the screws to the JLF mount position. 30mm snapbuttons or screwbuttons are also compatible.
Provided with the case is a convenient PCB stand that works with most Brook form factor control PCBs. In the back, you will find six 24mm (6) option button holes and three (3) neutrik holes with mounting screws for expansion.
To install a Sanwa JLF or similar lever, Remove the nylon nuts from the joystick mount. Next, use the same tool to remove the second nut and washer. | Here, you will remove the screw from its current outer mount holes and move it to the inner mount holes. Using a Phillips head screwdriver and the hex driver, screw the second nut and washer so that both a tight against the mount hole. | The JLF mount screws will look like this when you are finished. Now you can install the JLF, Seimitsu or low profile (low collar, not high collar) Crown joystick lever with compatible mounting plate. For other joysticks not usually compatible with either mount, you may consider purchasing the KOWAL Flat Plate Converter. |
The AFS/Happ Enclosure's backside utilizes 24mm pushbuttons. This allows up to 6 option buttons for modern day control schemes, such as Share, Back, Start, L3, R3, and Touch Pad Press. The back also includes 3 Neutrik ports for additional options such as a NAUSB passthrough, a rocker switch to turn on/off "tournament mode" (prevents accidental option button press), or 3-way rocker switch for DP/LS/RS (Digital, Left Analog Stick, Right Analog Stick) activation. Screws for the three neutrik port are included with each case.
The AFS IL/Happ is already a great economical solution compared to other Happ/IL compatible cases available today. This bundle saves you over $40.00 by providing the following in one neat package:
You can use those savings towards the purchase of a Brook control PCB and wiring to get started on your custom build.

Having a proper, American style arcade stick has been a dream of mine for a long, long time. I've never really done well with the standard Sanwa JLFs, causing me to steer more into korean lever territory. Thanks to FA and AFS, my dream is now realized.
The case itself is well constructed, even compared to other sticks that also use a powder brushed steel. Assembly was easy with the proper screws and sensibly arranged mounting brackets. At 14 inches, this is a heavy case that's wide enough to comfortably distribute all that weight. Unlike some other steel cases (see: The Etokki Omni), it wasn't a lot of weight concentrated on a small surface area. Additionally, the push-button holes were perfectly sized. You wouldn't think this would be an issue, but I tend to use transparent pushbuttons, as to not interfere with the art so much. Others (again with the Etokki Omni) would see the push buttons turn over a period of time, forcing me to use my fingers to turn it back so the graphics were properly aligned. But I haven't had to do that with the AFS! This is probably going to be the tallest case you ever worked with, but not much taller than say... the Razer Panthera or Nacon Daija.
Finally, as a general tip, the IL Eurojoystick is much more sensitive than I expected. If I went for a cardinal direction and was off by 10 degrees, I'd trigger another switch and get a corner input. This resulted in a lot of input errors, and accidental flick-DPs. If you're interested in the Eurojoystick, I highly recommend that you make sure you have a dremel on hand to sand down the pins on the switch and reduce that sensitivity. GTCvDeimos on Aug 10th 2023
