  • Product Description

    Bundle Does not include Actual Fightstick

    Please note that the Custom Art/Plexi Bundle only contains parts that complement the commercial Fightstick it is designed for. It does not include the Fightstick - this is purchased separately from Amazon, eBay or another vendor.


    The fighting game community has enthusiastically embraced HitBox - a unique arcade input control method that replaces the up, down, left and right directions with pushbuttons instead of a joystick lever. Thanks in part to AllFightSticks - makers of incredibly durable steel FightStick enclosures - you can now own a stick-less version of your favorite model.

    Save Over Purchasing Separately

    This discounted bundle includes your replacement panel, custom artwork, plexi and anodized color screws. Finally, you'll score special bonus items such as the Buttercade SnapOuts for 24mm and 30mm.

    Designed for Modern Hori RAP N Models

    Hori RAP N/DOA5 Stickless Panel Template (1.9Mb zip)

    The replacement panel will fit each of the models displayed

    Hori RAP N (Black/Gold) Hori RAP N (Tekken 7 PS4/PS3) Hori RAP N (Tekken 7 Xbox One/Xbox 360) Hori Soul Calibur VI (PS3/PS4) Hori Soul Calibur VI (Xb1)

    Durable Steel Panel, Matte Finish

    Each AllFightSticks panel is constructed out of steel, with a protective black powdercoat, providing a matte-like texture that can also manage wear and tear.

    SOCDs Available Separately. Not Needed if Replacing Control PCB with Brook Fighting Board PCB

    Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Direction, or "SOCD" represents the act of engaging two different directions at the same time. This is only possible with buttons, as a simple lever can only be one cardinal direction at once.  To abide by fair tournament standards, this action is therefore "cleaned" using a SOCD cleaner, a PCB that uses logic to output a single direction or neutral based on those standards. We offer two models: 

    FA SO.CD V2 Now CPT Compatible

    FA SO.CD control PCB. Discounted 20% when option bundled.The FA SO.CD control PCB is designed to "clean" multiple directional inputs to the March 2023 CPT accepted standard in a Fightstick that was not originally designed for all-button control. We now offer this device option should you desire to keep the original control PCB that came with your Fightstick. It is currently only available with purchase of a Stickless Conversion Bundle.

    Brook Devices with SOCD  

    If you are using a control PCB that already has SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Direction) cleaning built-in, such as most Brook multi-console control PCBs such as:

    Then you do not need the FA SO.CD.  Instead, you can purchase the 5-Pin to All-Button Conversion Harness. Note: Some Brook devices will need a firmware update to comply with the March 2023 CPT ruleset for SOCD cleaning.

    Option Guide

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

    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
    8 Button Vewlix
    First 6 Buttons

    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 Buttons [NO]
    Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO]
    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


    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 Button Example
    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

    button-30mm.pngAnother 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.
