COVID-19: USA/GLOBAL SHIPPING NOTICE [ INFO ]
A quick word regarding COVID-19, domestic USPS/FedEx Ground tracking issues plus international shipping precautions.
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.
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.

Please note that this panel DOES NOT replace the metal panel underneath the MadCatz TE.
The original MadCatz TE Round 1, Round 2, and newer 2015 TE-S+ for Xbox 360 feature a plastic bezel that surrounds the control panel.
The TE top panel is constructed using resilient clear acrylic, and layout is cut to precision with a laser etching device. This model uses our .060" thick acrylic.
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: 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.

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.

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.
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)

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". |
