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 all-button - 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.
This discounted bundle includes your replacement panel, plus custom artwork print, and blank plexi. Finally, you'll score special bonus items such as the Buttercade SnapOuts for 24mm and 30mm.
Panthera (PS4, PS3) Stickless Panel Template (1.7Mb zip) |
Compatible with these Razer Panthera Models. DBFZ version is no longer supported. |
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.
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:
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.
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. CUT BUTTON INSERTS | HOLOGRAPHIC PATTERNS 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. Cut Button InsertsPushbutton 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
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 GlowQanba 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 30mmWhen 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. Checking the Proper SizeAnother 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 ConfigurationMost 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.

Writing a this review after several months, but never too late. I initially had issues with the kit, but the customer service team was very receptive and helped out to make sure all issues were resolved. Definitely made me a life long customer. Unknown on Jan 20th 2024
Came with metal top to replace the old viewlex layout of the razer panthera and a plastic casing for my art essentially came with everything needed to convert to a stickless panthera. Andrew on Jan 21st 2023
First, shoutout to the Focus Attack crew for having a video on how to swap the panels to make this possible with the Razer Panthera. I've messed with this for four days, and I'm happy with the panel for palm space, the artwork paper quality, and just the availability. Had no issue with the SOCD cleaner as well. But there is one wierd thing. Whenever playing Guilty Gear: Strive, when waiting for an opponent while in training mode and the game finds you an opponent, the movement gets a little wonky (but that's just for the split second it finds you an opponent in training mode). Other than that the whole bundle is great!! Thank you for having this available!! Whoisant on Dec 11th 2022
From FA: We are adjusting our acrylic panels to .080" or 1.75mm.
----
I'm very satisfied with high quality products and high quality printing.
However,
The only disappointment was that the qanba gravity ks 24mm button could not be mounted on the top panel. This is because the top panel was too thick.
I should have verified this before buying and should be able to choose the thickness of the top panel.
If it weren't for this, I'd give it five stars without question. Unknown on Sep 16th 2022
Great product and I cannot understate how much the video guide helped to process of putting the whole thing together. Just a note though for those that haven't modded a panthera prior you need to have isopropyl alcohol on hand to get rid of the hot glue that connects the 5 pin to the joystick. Not too difficult to deal with if you use the included tiny screwdriver included in the stick. Great way to use the stickless layout without having to deal with 8 minute timeouts and using the panthera's body which is more comfortable to me. Unknown on Mar 19th 2022
ETA was 2 weeks but took about 4 days to ship, everything came as expected and was pretty fun/easy to convert. Unknown on Jan 17th 2022
