Plexiglass for your joysticks! VSHG, Madcatz TE

VFDC,

I posted on the Socal VF event thread couple weeks back about the plexi I was able to get for the VSHG and TE sticks. Basically a way to change your artwork for your joysticks. Plexi is a much better solution to change artwork as it doesn't require glue and you can easily change it whenever you get bored with your current one.

Some pics incase you don't know what I'm talking about.





Overall, I'm very impressed by the work, and the service has been made available for other joysticks. I was able to help with the VSHG cover. So if you want some plexi, hit up the link and get yourself some!

I am not affilated with the website or anything, incase you were wondering. Simply helping out VFDC for those who want plexi.

It would be nice if you guys post your impressions or opinions about plexi and this service, and especially if you order some, post pics!

Hey - how do the buttons mount with that thick plexi?

 

Thanks Pinetree!!
I would like to get one when R comes out!!!
Do you have some pic with VSHG??

Plague:
You should be able to mount them like you normally do. I didn't have a problem with mine. The buttons fit fine and flush with the plexi.

Dennis:

 

Ha ha! You probably USED that very stick when you were here, man! Too much Terminator in your head!


PineTree,

I don't see how the button retention tabs can come all the way out with all that plexi. I suppose the buttons just stay in anyway (I never saw them fall out at SoCal).

 

Haha~ I mean "VSHG plus plexi"~~
I have the same question too, how to fit those buttons by plexi?

 

Ha ha AGAIN! That exact stick with the plexi was at SoCal. Maybe you never used the particular set-up, though.

 

What? Are you kidding me??
I only used the regular VSHG in socal I guess...

 

Dennis/Tallis,

The buttons fit fine, in fact I think based on my experience the buttons tend to fit even tighter and don't move at all. At the Shoryuken forums where literally hundreds of people have bought the plexi I haven't heard of problems with buttons at all.

Overall the product is top notch, laser cut precision. If you've been wanting to change artwork on your sticks you can't get any better.

I just saw how there's now a way to laser sketch a drawing onto the plexi, which is awesome. Check out the site to see some examples.

Now to change the Balrog (boxer) on my VSHG to an Astro City theme and I'm set!

 

I think I need to see some killin VF artwork in those plexis!!!

Great work, looks amazing

 

I recently got a cover with some artwork for my TE, and I absolutely love it. It's awesome.

Thanks to PineTree for letting us know about the site and the guy who does them. I would definitely recommend getting one.

 

Incredibly so. All you do is unscrew the faceplate, remove the buttons (the hardest part is removing the quick disconnects, which is easy once you've got a decent method) and the ball top, if you're using new art then take the old one off and put the new one on (no need to stick it down), put the cover on top and put the buttons back in. Then put the stick top back on and screw the faceplate back in. All in all, should take you at most about 10-15 minutes to do the mod, and it looks really good afterwards.

If you're using new Sanwas, you'll need to file the tabs down a bit, but that's really easy to do.
