Taking a break from the typical anime/fighting game themes that I usually get for builds. This time, the homie Jamie commissioned the classic 80s gangster film SCARFACE! 🎥
Hybrid leverless/joystick layout. I also added profiles to enable and disable the lever or the directional buttons so it can be used for tournaments.

This build is a tribute to the pioneers who first brought Japanese arcade parts across the ocean, shaping the fight sticks we all use today.

Been seeing a lot of negative comments lately about how fightstick builders are charging too much for custom builds, so I wanted to break down the numbers a little.
If you were to build a typical custom fightstick yourself in the US in 2026 (joystick + 14 buttons), you're probably looking at around $500+ in parts alone. Having someone build it for you adds another $100 or so for labor and shipping.
I can't speak for every builder, but my average custom build quotes usually land around $650 shipped. And that's typically for builds with more buttons, significantly more customization, and a lot of design work beyond what you'd get with a standard build.
The margins are honestly pretty thin, and most of us are doing this because we genuinely love the art, the community, and the process of making these things.
In reality there's a lot of time, material, design, and labor that goes into each build. Hopefully this gives a little more context to what actually goes into the price.
Recent commission! Got some CVS action 😉

If you've got access to a laser cutter or CNC and want to skip the headache of designing a fightstick from scratch, this SVG pack is for you. Cut your own panels, and get straight to building.
*Note: this is a completely different design from my 4TW & BnB products.
