ORDER FULFILLMENT TIME EXTENDED [ INFO ]
An explanation and remedy measures from our team.
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 days 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.

HitBox Panel Template (PS3/PS4 Model, not compatible with PS360+ model, 3.3Mb zip) |
The latest model of HitBox has slightly different button positioning than the original model that housed the Akishop PS360+ multi-console PCB, and features rounded corners.
The latest version of HitBox uses a combination of screws in the bottom plate, and plastic rivets on top panel.

First, you will flip the HitBox upside down to access the bottom plate. Much thanks to 801 Mods' Joey Wainwright for the helpful tutorial. |
Once the bottom panel is removed, use a needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the quick disconnects attached to each button. Carefully remove each button by gently pushing the tabs on each side of the button inwards, and then downwards to push the button out. |

Once artork and plexi are in place, you can reinstall the plastic rivets. Start with the bottom rivet, threading it into each top hole. You may find that after removing the first time the rivet's bottom is stretched outward a bit and may not easily fit into the hole. Gently squeezing the bottom with needle-nose pliers will help | Next, insert the rivet top into the bottom rivet's hole. | Finally, push the top rivet down until you hear a snap. The rivet works by securing the top half to bottom, expanding the bottom rivet's plastic legs to keep everything in place. Should you need to remove the rivet again, you can follow the process above to release them without damage. |
Options |
You have additional options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, or removal of control panel or screws (when applicable). If you are also purchasing a custom or pre-made control panel plexi for this artwork, be sure to match the layout and configurations. CUT BUTTON INSERTSLayout 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

Cut Button InsertsPushbutton manufacturers such as Sanwa, Seimitsu, Crown and GamerFinger have each produced specific models with a clear or translucent plastic cap and flat plunger. These are often used to display a graphical insert, allowing you to enhance the button's appearance. That said, each button manufacturer has designed the artwork cap with a different diameter than their competitors. For example, GamerFinger's artwork cap has a diameter that is slightly larger than Seimitsu or Sanwa. An insert cut for a Sanwa artwork cap will fit loosely when inserted into the GamerFinger artwork cap. This is an undesirable result that can produce a white or colored ring around the insert. Now, you can choose the button insert cut to match the pushbutton you intend to use. This allows the insert to fit snugly within the cap. Brands and Model with Artwork Caps
Please note that if you later intend to purchase a different button, you may need to get new button inserts or new artwork. If you are uncertain which button you may choose, Sanwa is chosen by default. 24 vs 30mmWhen processing orders, a frequent mistake we found among new players is choosing the wrong size for action buttons, such as punch and kick. Within the fighting game genre, Japanese arcade buttons commonly consist of two diameter sizes: 24 millimeter and 30 milllimeter (mm). In most configurations, 30mm represents your action button. These are front facing, appearing most prominent on your Fightstick control panel. Option button, such as "Start", "Select", or more recently "Option", "Touch", or "Share" are usually 24mm. UPDATE: Owners of Neo Geo AES Joysticks will need 24mm pushbuttons instead of 30mm (Thanks SRK's DEZALB) Below is a visual representation of a common Fightstick control panel. Throughout this article, we will mark 24mm in green, and 30mm in Orange. Checking the Proper Size
The plunger - the part that you press down to represent an input - is 25mm or a bit smaller in most 30mm pushbuttons. Often this leads to the conclusion that one needs a 24mm button and not 30mm. Similarly measuring the button rim can lead to confusion, as it is intentionally larger than the button hole it is placed in. You don't want to use these measurements. Instead, review the button housing diameter, or the hole the button will be placed in. You can do this with a caliper - a digital caliper is often quite helpful for this and other arcade-related projects. Control Panel ConfigurationMost Fightsticks from MadCatz, Hori, Qanba, and similar will use these two sizes. How the buttons are used will depend on the model joystick that you own. Over time, we'll provide example configurations for specific popular Fightstick models and arcade cabinets using the color key for 24mm (green) and 30mm (orange). We'll also expand the key for future models if another size is introduced, and we offer for sale.

Print quality is top notch and it fits perfectly, also shipped to the UK very quickly!
Highly recommend. Azami on Jul 18th 2022
The art is fantastic and cut extremely well. As other have stated art with high saturation and colors work v e r y well with this product. Extremely high value for how little it costs for the convenience and quality that the service provides. The laser cut also means the button holes are SO easy to pop out!! No more X-acto nightmares.. ConvictorFGC on Mar 14th 2022
Amazing print quality, perfect fit, saturated colors, love everything about it. Unknown on Jan 1st 2022
Perfect in every way. Great quality and great service! Unknown on Aug 20th 2021
This is so worth the money. Get yourself a clear plexi for your hitbox, and order this custom art. The fact that you can create anything you want is perfect for customization. I love mine.
No other hitbox in the world looks like mine, and I love that. Levi Doney on May 17th 2020
My custom artwork print arrived rather quickly. I was more than satisfied with the end product and can't say I saw any noticeable flaws or errors. I will definitely use Focus Attack for future purchased. Superb quality. Jared on May 26th 2019
Ordered from France (delivery a little long but it's ok).
Very good quality of the artwork if you also provide a quality image. Very satisfied @DouwaRN on Apr 26th 2019
Art came cut property and art was perfect Bosshog on Jan 23rd 2019
One of the snap rivet posts was slightly off center, otherwise the quality of the print was good and it got to me in a timely fashion. Would recommend for anyone looking to customize. Unknown on Aug 23rd 2018
Update by FA
We will look into offering button cut options across Seimitsu and Crown.

The quality of it is great. I will go over an issue I had with mine when applying the button cutouts. Now this is for the Seimitsu buttons and unsure if it occurs for Sanwa. But when you put in the art, it will jiggle around and misalign with use of the buttons. Currently I 'fixed' it with double sided stick tape to hold it to the bottom. The button because of the thickness added, does elevate it more. However I'm not feeling a difference in execution. It also altered the sound of the button. I think I'll try thinner options. But yeah, it was a lot of insanity figuring it out because I kept thinking the buttons itself was moving. In general some sort of take is probably the best to remedy this. Jukwol on Jun 9th 2018
