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 joystick. The plexiglass sits atop specially cut artwork, allowing you to add or replace new custom artwork to match your joystick theme.
Nacon Daija PS3/PS4 Panel Template (2Mb zip) |
The Daija is a European import Arcade Joystick lever from French game peripheral company Nacon. Please note that the Daija already has its own removable panel for artwork. Purchasing this panel would serve as a replacement for the existing panel.
The Panel is only available in clear, as the panel below it contains an LED.
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.
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. |
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 ELEMENTS | BUTTON SPACERSPlexi 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. Sized for Button Spacers?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. Important: If you choose the non-spacer model, you will need a corresponding plexi or artwork that matches this configuration. |

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. |
