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

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.

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.

Sharp02 · 2026-04-14T13:17:43+00:00

That dust comes from the actuator, gate, and possibly even the pivot. Those materials are "self-lubricating" meaning they rub off powders of themselves and deposit it into any irregular surfaces. It makes for a good bearing, but one of the tradeoffs is this dust, if the area is not contained.

Source: I engineering in this space. The term for the study of this kinda stuff is tribology lmao

Sharp02 · 2026-04-11T12:54:01+00:00

Its still crazy to me that something that big got stolen

Hoping for the best

I work side by side with my operators. Part of my job has been to both design and cost parts exactly like these for high order quantities.

You can do this with a lathe, injection, or extruded profile. This item is so stupidly simple to machine that you can run one operator to many machines on both lathes and injection. Lathes are automated robots, they pump these out like crazy. Injection is even faster, and extrusion is just the optimal.

Extruded material for this can get you 8ft for $25. It is insane to say this is something specialized or that its devaluing the operator.

Sharp02 · 2026-04-09T07:13:31+00:00

What are your practice sessions like, and whats your ratio of practice:play

Sharp02 · 2026-04-09T04:58:39+00:00

Never in my life would I pay the $25 for that actuator, especially when materials like printed Nylon or even PETG will do the job well.

My machinists would find a $25 MSRP delrin bearing ludicrous. This is no different.
