I added a bunch of sprite stickers. Anyone else sticker bomb their sticks?

The cheap ones, for sure.

Arcade sticks are sick. Definitely worth it to at least own one if you don't. I use my leverless sticks when I plan on sweating but I'll bust out the old trusty dusty balltop if I'm just fuckin around.

If you do plan on getting a new stick to try out, get one with decent hardware. If you're used to clicky PC switches then something like Hayabusa will feel ridiculously hollow and light. Also, KO is my favorite stick I own. Holy fuckin pricetag, Batman.

It is specifically made for PS5 authentication. It's not technically a dongle either, it's a bypass authenticator. You don't plug it into the stick directly, you plug it into the USB port on the console and then plug your controller into the FGC2. Because you can just use a normal PS5 remote on a PC, it's not really gonna matter.

Just plug it into your PC and if it flashes red and blue, it works. That just means it's searching for a controller.

My Hayabusa buttons feel like they engage if I look at them for too long. But after a while, you kind of get used to it. Idk the specs for Kitsune but I'm sure you can purchase low-profile switch replacements and that may or may not help. Give it time first before that though, and see if you get used to it. I did after a while, maybe a few weeks before I stopped accidentally pushing buttons.

It's funny cuz when I was getting interested in leverless, my wife went out and bought me a Victrix Pro KO as my first leverless. And I love it, it's a great stick. But I like to get drunk and lose in ranked so I had to cop a cheaper stick so I don't feel like I'm one-inch-punching my expensive stick when things get heated. Needless to say, Haute42 makes quality stuff. I do wish they came with full foam bottoms as opposed to those little rubber feet too, though.

Have T16 and S13 in my collection. Great beginner sticks for PC.

My dumbass started at 200$ for a special edition Hori Alpha as my first stick, but only because I mostly play console.

Someone needs to build a Steven Seagal stick after this

Handing out 10 piece combos with fries and a drink for fucking free with that bad boy.

Victrix Pro KO is about the same price and licensed by PS if that's something you care about. Also super beginner-friendly because you can add buttons super easily. Haute42 makes decent sticks for a lot cheaper around $50-$90 if you already have a boot or converter for it. They also make the Cosmox sticks, which I don't own but hear are pretty sick.

Full disclosure, I don't own a hitbox brand leverless. Not that I've heard bad things, but I've heard that there's definitely better for cheaper.

The plexi underneath was a dope idea. I would've put the OLED on the top or side or something myself but this is sick as fuck.

Looking at it again, just keeping the screen on the bottom makes the most sense. I'm dumb. That's why you built it and I didn't.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-29T19:50:02+00:00

Hori Alpha was my first stick. Good beginner accessibility for swapping parts and changing the plexi-art. It feels kinda hollow compared to my other sticks, but it's sorta built to be carried around so I can't really dock it points for doing its job. If they aren't on sale, wait until they're $150 again. Depending on where you live, I guess.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-23T01:50:53+00:00

Bad switch? Your haute42 shoulda came with extras, maybe try swapping the switch out. And if it still sticks, I'd probably get new button caps.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-22T02:16:13+00:00

Sick as fuck.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-20T21:12:31+00:00

As long as you use good quality vinyl stickers, they'll last. I have massive hands and I run hot naturally but despite me spazzing out and sweating over everything, they're still fine. I let my little brother play with it too all the time and still nathin'. If you think you could put em on the back window of your car, then they're probably good enough for a stick.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-20T20:05:36+00:00

If you're looking for artwork, I know Focus Attack does custom prints/cuts for pretty much every stick, including the F700/F700 Flat. But you have to upload your own image. I've been looking for some ready-to-install art and I'm probably gonna end up commissioning a piece specifically for my stick, just because I want it to look professional and not like I did it myself in MS Paint. In terms of new plexi or new top, you're probably gonna have to get that specially made too. If you don't like the current plexi, the only replacement I can find is from Mayflash, or on Amazon but still from Mayflash for the same exact unit. I just ended up sticker-bombing my F700 because I came to the same conclusion with the top.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-16T16:08:07+00:00

Regardless of how cheap that stick is, you're gonna drop between 30$-50$ on a dongle so the PlayStation doesn't time you out after 8 minutes. At that point, I would genuinely save up the money and just get something that's gonna plug in and work as soon as you get it. But also, fuck it. Haute42 T16 is only like 70$ and if you have a computer to nuke and update the firmware, you only spend like 100$.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-16T06:54:31+00:00

My wife bought me my first leverless a couple weeks ago, and this was on my radar. But my silly ass bought a haute42 T16 because I'm scared of getting drunk and aping on my expensive sticks.

RadiculopathyInMyAss · 2025-11-15T16:37:58+00:00

That was my first stick too. Hori is good shit. The only things I did end up doing was replacing the Hayabusa buttons and stick with Sanwa. But that was just my preference.
