SAVE 25% ON FA PLEXWORKS CUSTOM ART AND PLEXI [ INFO ]
Exception: Art/Plexi Discount Bundles. Ends October 9 @ 11:59pm PST (3:00am EST Oct 10)
Please do not submit the PNG versions of the Project L Fightstick artwork . These are only examples to show how artwork can look in our templates. Instead, please download the zipped Photoshop PSD version unzip the file and integrate them into our artwork templates
for your desired fightstick model. If you are unsure about how to create and submit artwork for printing, please review this helpful guide
.
The official Hori Street Fighter Artwork for Alpha Fightstick has the layout merged to the artwork, making it impossible to print and cut properly. Please DO NOT use this service for these prints, or they will be put on HOLD status or cancelled and refunded.
If you wish to have the artwork printed only, you can use our Non-Commercial Fightstick Panel Artwork Print service.
If you place an order for a personalized product along with non-custom products, such as arcade part or merchandise, please note that all products will ship together. We ask for a minimum of 7-10 business daysnbsp;to process custom orders and prepare for shipping, as we often have a large queue, and personalized orders require additional processing work. If you desire to receive your non-custom products earlier, then please place two separate orders. This will allow the non-custom orders to ship within our normal 1-2 business days.>
Control panel artwork represents one of the most convenient means to personalize your fightstick, giving it a new look almost immediately.
Artwork prints are developed using a top-of-the-line commercial printer, offering vivid, professional-quality artwork replication. The printer is capable of resolution of 1200dpi (dots per inch), and 8 color ink system (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, K(Black) + Light Cyan, Light Magenta and White) reproduces artwork over a wide color range.
Artwork is printed on 10 mil cardstock sheet. It carries 95% brightness and tensile strength of 100 pounds per inch.
Each print is laser cut to your specifications, as presented by available options. You will receive the print with insert cutouts designed to fit your chosen brand. Gently press downward to remove the cutouts.
The 9.5" Vewlix 8-Button uses the smaller 24mm pushbutton to accomodate the narrower panel. Check the "24mm vs 30mm" section under "Options > Cut Button Inserts" for more information about button sizes.

The AFS brand of steel fightstick cases features an easily accessible top panel. Screws at the top are removed to reveal buttons and joystick lever. This guide will provide basic instructions to remove the panel and swap artwork.

Each AFS metal panel contains 6 screw holes. The screws install directly into the case below it. | Use a 2.5mm hex key to install your chosen panel. These will screw into the case's built-in threaded holes. |

If you intend to install custom artwork and plexi, the process is as straightforward as installing the metal panel. Position the artwork and plexi with the metal panel's screw holes. | The AFS series currently uses .060" thick plexi. Be careful not to overtighten the screws to reduce risk of the plexi cracking. |
Options Help |
You have several options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, removal of control panel or screws in some models, button label etching, and text etching. Jump to: LAYOUT | REMOVING DEFAULT ELEMENTS | CONSOLE BUTTON LABELS | ETCHED TEXT | ETCH TEXT FONTS | PARTIAL & FULL ETCH | ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONSPlexi Color, ThicknessBelow are visual examples of available acrylic colors and thicknesses. Not all colors are available for each thickness, nor are the materials and thicknesses accessible for each Fightstick model. Some colors come in a specific thickness, and are too thin or thick to install properly on the Fightstick. Additionally, some material thicknesses do not allow for full etch, as the material can warp from the laser. When multiple colors and thicknesses are available for your Fightstick model, you will find them within the options list. Plexi Thickness![]() ![]() ![]() Plexi Color and Texture![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Clear (.75mm, 1.5mm, 3mm)
Black Gloss (1.5mm, 3mm)
Black Matte (3mm only)
White Gloss (3mm only)
White Matte (3mm only)
Notes about Black Matte, White Matte & White Gloss![]() ![]() Black Matte is available in .125" (3mm) thickness only. This color and material texture can be purchased without etching. For AllFightsticks models, you can use the black matte plexi panel as a full replacement for the metal panel.
You can also order with partial or full etching. Unlike clear acrylic, etching is performed on surface of the acrylic. If you are submitting etch artwork for opaque acrylic such as black matte or black gloss, you do not need to reverse the graphic. More tips on how to submit artwork for etching is available here.
![]() ![]() ![]() White Gloss and White Matte is available in .125" (3mm) thickness only. This color and material texture can be purchased without etching. For AllFightsticks models, you can use the white matte plexi panel as a full replacement for the metal panel.
We currently do not offer etching services for White Gloss or White Matte color. While it is possible to etch on white acrylic, we believe many customers will not be pleased with the results, since the etch is barely visible.
White acrylic is also semi translucent - about 20% transparent. You will receive a white cutout that you can place underneath the acrylic. You can also place a brightly colored artwork underneath for a cool effect. Layout ConfigurationEach Fightstick has its own characteristics, with some sharing similar elements, such as the popular Vewlix button layout. We will specify what options are available for each Fightstick. Below are the most common button layout configurations: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 8 Button Vewlix
First 6 Buttons
Last 6 Buttons
7 Button Vewlix
Removing Default ElementsSome Fightsticks, such as the popular MadCatz TE, offer additional personalization options by removing default elements such as control panel, start button, or screws. Cut options are defaulted to their authentic counterpart, displayed as [YES (default)] in the options list. For example, a MadCatz TE, the default configuration is to have the turbo/guide portion of the control panel cut, so that the control panel can fit properly. You have the option to select [NO] to prevent cutting these areas. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cut Control Panel? [NO]
Cut Start Button? [NO]
Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO]
Cut Control Panel? [NO] - If you own a MadCatz TE, and installed a PS360+, you may no longer need the Turbo/Guide area of the control panel, located at top left. This option allows you to remove the Turbo/Guide portion. Please note that you MUST remove the actual control panel on the TE by unscrewing it before applying the plexi, or you risk damaging the plexi. Also, please make certain to select this option if you are also choosing to have artwork printed, or the plexi and artwork won't match. Cut Start Button? [NO] - On some joysticks - such as the Qanba Q4 - the start button is directly on the panel. You can select to have this removed. You can also select this should you desire a panel similar to the Eightarc Fusion or Synthesis series Fightstick, as the start button is moved elsewhere. Again, this option is available on specific joysticks. Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO] - Selecting "no" on this option allows you to remove the middle top and bottom screw holes on specific joysticks, either for a cleaner appearance or to avoid rubbing your wrist against the screw. Please reconsider this option if you intend to have a full panel etch on your plexi, as etching physically changes portions of the plexi due to heat. In this case, it is best to leave the screw holes in place in order to keep the panel securely positioned.
Console Button LabelsDepending on the plexi material you choose, you can have your preferred console button designation etched onto it. This is helpful if you swap art often, and do not want to place the labeling onto the artwork. Below are the most common console labels. Other button labels may apply specifically to the Fightstick model, such as Dreamcast console for the Agetec HKT-7300 ![]() ![]() ![]() Sony PS3/PS4
Xbox 360/Xbox One
Hybrid (PS3/PS4, Xbox 360/Xbox One)
Etched TextFor those looking to personalize their plexiglass control panel with their name or handle, but not as familiar with graphic design applications like Photoshop, you can add text etchings. Choose from a variety of fonts, and your position on the control panel. Text PositionYou can place text in one of up to four positions on your control panel. How many positions are available will vary depending on the model of control panel you choose. Of the positions are the following: ![]() ![]() Under Turbo/CP (24pt)
Upper Right Corner (36pt)
![]() ![]() Lower Left Corner (36pt)
Lower Right Corner (36pt)
Etch Text FontsYou can choose from a variety of fonts across seven distinct themes: COMIC | GRUNGE | HANDWRITTEN | POP CULTURE | CLASSIC/RETRO | SANS | SERIFComic![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Partial and Full EtchEtching on plexi provides you an extra layer for personalizing your control panel. Artwork is etched onto the bottom of clear plexi, or on top of opaque or translucent color plexi. You have two options to choose. ![]() ![]() Partial Etch (Sample Illustration)
Full Etch (Sample Illustration)
Partial EtchA partial etch is a graphic up to 5 inches square, placed nearly anywhere on the control panel face. You can etch a logo, name/handle, or illustration. Please note that this is not the same as etched text; you will submit the graphic to us for etching. To place an order for a partial etch, select the "Partial (5"x5")" option next to the "Full or Partial Etching" label. We must know where to place your etch graphic on the panel, so be sure to provide placement instructions within the "Additional Instructions" text form, or submit the graphic using our Photoshop template. If we don't have this, we will put the task on hold, and send a message asking for clarification on where you want the graphic to appear on the panel. Full EtchA full etch can occupy the entire area of the control panel. It can consist of a single illustration, or multiple illustrations placed strategically on the control panel. To submit your graphic, please use our Photoshop template and click "Choose file" next to "Submit Etch Artwork". Please note: On some models, a full etch graphic is not available, as the plexi used for that model is thinner than .060" and thus can warp under the heat that is generated from a laser etching machine. Etch Graphic ResolutionIt is recommended that the graphic submitted is high-resolution - between 300dpi or 600dpi (dots per inch). Anything less may etch with less fidelity. Click for more information about submitting etch artwork.
Additional InstructionsIf you would like to clarify something regarding your personalization that wasn't covered in the options, you can complete the "Additional Instructions" form. Please do not make requests for customization outside of the requirements of the plexi, such as fixing your graphic, or creating a logo, as any orders placed in "HOLD" status is pushed to the bottom of the queue until it is changed back to "IN PROGRESS". |
