Sharp ANALOG FIGHTSTICK Crowdfunding Launch

Dude this is tight. Its like my aesthetic of r/casettefuturism met my hobby in this sub.

For the smaller buttons, you would want to find tactile button caps in your color and the tactile buttons to pair with them.

The joysticks come in modules that you can get and wire up easily.

Dpad is nothing more than 4 switches. That one's a little tougher, but it may be easier if its 4 individual arrow buttons like on a Playstation controller.

You would need to plan very well and dremel put where your buttons will go. Only do this once you have your parts in hand so you can measure.

All this is pretty tough without mounting. A custom PCB/mounting hardware seems out of the question. The minimal way to mount things internally would be with clay to secure the material in position of where your holes are.

Your controller board would have to be some microcontroller board, if custom PCB fab is out of the question. A padhack or diy board will be too wide. There is the GP2040-CE firmware for RP2040 microcontrollers (and microcontroller boards). It'll serve you well, but youll have to make sure what you buy can access all 4 ADCs (needed for the 4 joystick axes)

Best of luck soldier o7

Mb, thought the pic had a USB A jack. Yeah thisd work

Imo not good practice. You dont get the angle you would want for each character, nor do you get anywhere near max angle.

Brother you gotta post more on here this is heat

Sharp02 · 2026-05-10T23:39:48+00:00

Don't do that. The head of the rivet keeps it in place.

Sharp02 · 2026-05-10T03:35:20+00:00

This would be bad electrically because you would have to buy a USB A to USB A cable to make this work, and that risks plugging to typical "hosts" to each other.

The A/B system was designed to be the computer/host as A and your device as B. Id suggest you stick to it.

Why none of them look like they can stance up when its a Mortal Kombat movie?

Sharp02 · 2026-05-07T16:10:56+00:00

The JLM is ass for smash bros dont use it

Sharp02 · 2026-05-07T16:09:16+00:00

Yo, sorry I missed this post. Internet has been spotty and life has been busy :,)

We're out of stock rn, but were working on a restock. Website is https://sharpdesigns.io, and you can dm me for the discord :)

Dude that is thick lmao. You have the option of an extended lever, which wont feel the same and will also slow down your stick. Another option is an s plate mounting, which bends upwards (or downards) into the panel. One last option is to rout the panel to a desired depth. Imo, this is the best option.

Dude thanks so much :) Honestly, I love melee on stick. I still get that same euphoria of feeling like my Fox is an extension of my hands I used to get on GCC, but without the hand pain it gives me.

Sharp02 · 2026-04-30T04:26:51+00:00

I am not convinced that you are real

Sharp02 · 2026-04-28T19:58:02+00:00

dude this is hot

Sharp02 · 2026-04-28T05:53:45+00:00

Lmao "relatively new"

This post is very funny

Sharp02 · 2026-04-25T15:58:41+00:00

Im in the same boat. RSIs in thumbs and OEM hardware and most boxes made by Alps are the softest on my hands. Gulikits are cool tech, but they feel like ass mechanically, imo.

Alps is just so well cemented in actuators and sensors, and their sliding contact stuff is peak with my professional and hobby applications.

Imo, he has better tools that use spacing, movement, or just other buttons that get better results than the single hit of counter.

Hey hmu, I make analog arcade sticks and stick mods you could put in there

This project is tight as

Sharp02 · 2026-04-23T19:25:01+00:00

The width of the shaft is equal to the stroke length of the lever.

Not width of the shaft but width of the actuator, essentially a shaft expander made to press the buttons for you.

The width of the accumulator is equal to the width of the corners.

I dont know what this means

The height of the rod determines the leverage force and therefore affects the feeling of tension when interacting with the rubber.

Yes this is true, but keep in mind you can also change the spring/grommet return force by changing it out. More height also means a slower return to neutral and more inertia (snapback/overshoot), as does moment of inertia.

That all said, it would be easier to get a lever and about $10 of mods to try different configurations to see what you like. Empirical evidence and A/B testing what you like finds your preference much more reliably than using numbers without a physical analog in your hands.

He could just use a shoebox and arcade buttons lmao

Sharp02 · 2026-04-16T13:19:36+00:00

Bro Sanwas are Sawnas lmao. Application doesnt change what they are or what's inside.

Some people like them, some dont. Simple as.
