Custom Madcatz Standard Edition Project

So I’m really into arcade fight sticks lately. I’ve moved on from the traditional game pad usage to Arcade style controllers. It was a tough challenge at first. My years of game play experience wanted to do nothing more than quit the annoying joystick. I couldn’t fire off my HADOUKEN or counter with a cool SHORYUKEN! But with diligence and some stubbornness, I was able to conquer that learning curve. Now I’m pretty good at using them. I’ve become a better player as well.

So here I am purchasing my new controllers and then I find out that everyone is customizing them. Putting in better arcade parts if needed or using plexi glass to cover their own art. I was so amazed! So it got me thinking, hmmm what can a cool guy like me do?

The first stick I customized was a MADCATZ STANDARD EDITION controller. It lacked official japanese arcade buttons and joystick. So I ordered them to match my design and went to Kinkos to order a LAMI-LABEL print of my design. Then I went home and 3.5 hours later. VIOLA!!!

I tried to sell it on ebay. My sister wanted to get a cool stick and wanted to buy it. I’m happy that it’s in good hands. I do miss it though. DAN is THA MAN!!
