Product Description

Please note that this Fightstick has its own plexiglass panel. You do not need to purchase a custom plexi top. The plexi tops here are offered as a repair or replacement for your original panel, or a personalized variation.

Please Read Before You Order

Below is important information to know before placing a custom order with us:

Project L Official Artwork: Do not submit the PNG samples. Instead, please download the zipped Photoshop PSD version, unzip the file and integrate them into our artwork templates for your desired fightstick model
Hori Official Street Fighter 6 Artwork: Please do not submit this artwork for the Fightstick Alpha. It is not compatible with our print and cut, as it contains registration marks that cannot be removed. If you wish to have the artwork printed only, you can use our Non-Commercial Fightstick Panel Artwork Print service.
Hori Official Tekken 8 Artwork. We can print and cut most of Hori's official Tekken 8 artwork, as they revised the artwork files to allow removing the registration marks. Exception is artwork for Jun Kazama which has registration marks that cannot be removed.
Custom Orders do Not Ship Separately: If you place an order for a personalized product along with non-custom products, such as arcade part or merchandise, please note that all items will ship together.

Control panel artwork represents one of the most convenient means to personalize your fightstick, giving it a new look almost immediately.

High Resolution, Color Fidelity

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 perforated button inserts designed to fit your chosen button brand. In some cases, such as the Mayflash series, the control panel elements may also have perforated cuts. Gently press downward to remove the cutouts.

Important Notes about Color Fidelity, Brightness

Please do not change the RGB color space of our templates to CYMK when submitting your artwork. Our templates are intentionally designed in the RGB color space to best match most customer's screen expectations, and will typically convert CYMK to RGB when printing. We will not honor demands to reprint artwork whose template is changed to CYMK color space.
Unless properly calibrated to your printer and viewing environment, your monitor does not accurately represent the brightness of paper. Artwork submissions may need adjustment to ensure prints are not too dark. Please read this helpful support article for more information

New: Holographic Paper

Animated holograph paper example

Example animated photo displayed for illustrative purposes only. Pattern "Space Dots" shown.

In addition to white cardstock sheets, we now offer holographic paper sheets in several captivating patterns. Holographic sheets are created from paper that is imprinted or embossed with a design or image and then covered in a thin, transparent film of metal. The finished sheet has a characteristic luster — a kind of rainbow iridescence — when the imprinted pattern is viewed from particular perspectives.

Holographic cardstock has a similar tensile strength to our existing cardstock, about 110-115 pounds per inch

Differences between White Cardstock and Holographic Print

Both materials have their strengths. White cardstock is our tried and true paper material, producing vibrant colors with a textured semigloss. It's 95% brightness brings out the best color fidelity because it has a white backing.

Holographic paper has a striking metallic finish. By itself, its color changing properties are quite eye-catching. This is even more evident when a pattern is used. However, because the material does not have a white backing, the illustration's areas of white will instead show the metallic sheen. This can lead to a slightly duller appearance compared to cardstock. These comparison photos may help to illustrate. Please note that while the colors can appear more muted on holograph paper, the reflective nature of the material as well as its color properties will vary depending on the angle the illustration is seen and the material's pattern. Not every print will exactly resemble the below example.

Designed for Nacon Daija 2022 (PS5 | XSX)


Nacon Daija PS5\|XBox Series Panel Template (2022 Model, 1.5Mb zip)

The Daija is a European import Arcade Joystick lever from French game peripheral company Nacon. Its newer 2022 model is compatible with Playstation 5 (White), or Xbox Series X|S (Black). Please note that the Daija already has its own removable panel for artwork. We do not yet offer a replacement panel, as we do not have access to the newer 2022 model.

Installation Notes

The Nacon Daija possesses a flip top panel, making it very accessible for replacing joystick lever and buttons.Tools are also provided to aid in removing the balltop and the top plexi panel for swapping artwork. This guide will provide basic instructions for replacing the artwork. Please note the instructions represent the original Nacon Daija model, as we do not possess the newer 2022 model.


First, open the Fightstick panel by pressing the two red buttons on each side of the case, the lift upwards. The Nacon Daija contains two main tools that you will use when swapping the plexi panel or artwork. The first is a mini hex screw, used to remove the 6 screws on the top panel. The second is a metal disk with a flat side.	Remove the metal disk and place the flat side between the joystick shaft's bottom slit. This will allow you to loosen the balltop without spinning the shaft. With the balltop removed, you are now able to focus on the plexi panel.

Use the mini hex screwdriver to remove the six (6) screws on the Daija's top panel.

With the original panel removed, you can now apply a new plexi panel, or install artwork and then replace the original panel, reversing the steps mentioned before.	The original Nacon Daija plexi panel is designed to allow artwork to swap easily without removing the button. The button hole diameter on the plexi is thus larger than usual, and requires a button spacer. You can choose to keep this configuration, or opt for plexi that places the button above the panel, and does not need spacers.

Option Guide

Often, you will have several options to personalize your control panel. Note: Not every option will apply to your Fightstick model.

CUT BUTTON INSERTS | HOLOGRAPHIC PATTERNS

Layout Configuration

Each 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 Elements

Some 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.

Cut Button Inserts

Plexworks Diagram: Button Artwork Cut Size Comparison

Pushbutton 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

Sanwa - OBSC (30mm) | OBSC (24mm)
Seimitsu - PS-14-GN-C (30mm) | PS-14-DN-C (24mm) | PS-14-K (30mm) | PS-14-KN (30mm) | PS-14-DN-K (24mm)
Seimitsu - ALUTIMO SSPS MX 24mm and 30mm
Crown - SDB-201-C, SDB-202 MX (30mm) | SDB-202-MX (24mm)
Qanba - GRAVITY 24 and 30mm
GamerFinger - HBFS30 (30mm) |HBFS24 (24mm)

In some instances, a button brand or model does not have a 24mm equivalent with art cap. In this case, we will cut to the default size of Sanwa 24mm insert.

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.

Button Cut for Qanba Q2 Glow

Qanba Crystal and Q2 Glow feature buttons manufactured by Qanba. These buttons have a smaller cap diameter, and thus require a smaller artwork insert. If you plan to keep the Qanba Crystal or Q2 Glow buttons installed when updating your artwork, please choose the option "Crystal/Q2 Glow".

24 vs 30mm

When 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.

Common joystick configuration

Checking the Proper Size

Another way that players can misinterpret the pushbutton size is by measuring the pushbutton plunger. Have a look at the diagram at right.

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 Configuration

Most 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.
