Below is important information to know before placing a custom order with us:
The art cover replacement top panel offers one of the best ways to customize your arcade Fightstick. The plexiglass sits atop specially cut artwork, allowing you to add or replace new custom artwork to match your joystick theme.
Atrox (Xbox One, Xbox 360) Panel Template (1.7Mb zip) |
The Atrox's original panel has a unique thickness that is not common with acrylic manufacturers. This led us to find a panel that is slightly thinner than the more common 1/8". The replacement panel is .100" (2.54mm) - slightly thicker than the original Razer Atrox panel .80" (2.03mm). Razer's unique bevel screw install is replicated in the plexi. This allows the original Atrox screws to fit.
Note: This product is not compatible with the Razer Panthera for Sony PS4™.
The Razer Atrox has a much simpler, user-friendly approach to customization than the more recent PS4 iteration, the Panthera. The Atrox features replaceable paper artwork under a removable panel, held together by a screw and nut combination. This means that unless you require a replacement panel, or customized one, you can keep the same panel when you replace artwork. You do not have to buy a new blank panel. |
The panel is held in place with a unique, low profile screw and nut combination. The nut appears on the top part of the original panel. The screw is underneath it. Here is a photo of the two pieces. The nut is at left, and screw at right. |
Open the Atrox by pressing the button with logo on the Fightstick's front panel. The top panel will disconnect from the bottom and swing upwards. Take note of the wiring, as you will need to remove the buttons. Thankfully, a wiring guide is located under the top panel, as shown in the above photo. With needle-nose pliers, remove each wire from the button by pinching on the disconnect. You can press onto a small tab on each disconnect to easily remove it from the button microswitch terminals. Additionally, remove the black balltop by placing a flathead screwdriver at the base of the joystick lever shaft. There is a small groove across the shaft that the flathead can fit into. Next, twist the ball counter-clockwise while keeping the screwdriver steady. The shaft always rotates in the direction of the balltop; the screwdriver should allow you to unscrew the balltop without the shaft rotating. |

To remove each screw from the nuts that holds the panel together, press on the nut's flat surface with your forefinger, and use a mini Phillips head screwdriver on the black screw. Continue for the 5 additional screws, and the plexi panel and artwork will fall out on its own. Installing your paper artwork or plexi is now a simple manner of reversing each of the steps. It helps to tilt forward the top panel towards the Fightstick base when screwing back in, since the panel will fall out if fully swung up and away from the base. |
The Atrox top panel is constructed using resilient clear acrylic, and layout is cut to precision with a laser etching device.
Options Help |
You have several options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, removal of control panel or screws in some models Jump to: LAYOUT | REMOVING DEFAULT ELEMENTSPlexi 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 ThicknessPlexi Color and TextureClear (.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.
White Gloss and White Matte is available in .125" (3mm) thickness only. For AllFightsticks models, you can use the white matte plexi panel as a full replacement for the metal panel.
White acrylic is also semi translucent - about 80% opacity. You could 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. |

If you would like to use a free, online Photoshop-like app to check out whether your artwork will work with a layout we offer, I highly recommend Photopea This amazing app works with our PSD templates and is a great way to preview your artwork or create new art files. It also exports to PSD, which is the format we recommend for submitting artwork. |

Panel's cutouts are definitely spaced correctly but I wouldn't call it flush. It still is advertised as slightly thicker than original so it's not enough detraction to make it any lower than 4 stars.
If you've damaged your original panel, I'd still recommend this one. Thomas B. on Aug 12th 2019
