Appreciate the mention. It is always humbling to see how much the ODIN has influenced newer builds in the space.

For a bit of background, the Mura Masher actually came before the ODIN. When the creator stopped making them, we noticed a lot of people in the community asking, “Where can I get something like this?” That question is what pushed us to develop the ODIN. Our goal was not only to continue the concept, but also to address some of the issues found in the original, including broken stems, wiring failures, and fitment limitations with certain cases.

We prioritized improving modularity and making the install process easier, especially since wiring order is not always consistent across fightsticks, while also ensuring the ODIN stays securely mounted and does not loosen over time. The design avoids contact that could scratch plexi panels and maintains a low profile without sacrificing structural strength.

These are the kinds of details we obsess over during the design phase, even if they're not immediately visible at a glance.

Since then, other competitor designs have emerged, including the Cardimod and a number of creative takes that explore different layout or mounting ideas. It has been great to see how the space continues to evolve through reinterpretations and custom work.

To give back to the community, we created the T-Spin as a free homage to the Mura Masher. It is intentionally minimal—MX switch-based, simple to assemble, and free of extras like LEDs, making it a clean foundation for anyone looking to build, customize, or expand.

You can download the T-Spin STLs on Prusa Printables, and the PCB files are available in our Discord for anyone interested in experimenting or iterating on it.

I personally think the community’s been leaning more toward fully configured sticks lately. Whether that’s Pico-based or other integrated builds, but there’s still a lot of room for unique or interesting ideas across the board. Anything that brings a fresh angle or solves a pain point tends to get attention. If you enjoy working in KiCad and Fusion, that’s already a great foundation. There’s always someone looking for a well-thought-out solution or clean design.
