stct8r

We do not. Though we understand that the market has been skewing more toward multi-tasking Fightsticks since Madcatz released theirs around 20 years ago, stct8r is proud to purposefully build arcade controllers for players who just love "their" style of game. Our aim is to hopefully provide something a little extra special for them, and for people to see our works and immediately recognize the specific games they are built for.

@stct8r No problem they look beautiful do you happen to do 8 button sticks at all

Twitter sent me a decent add for once

Here's a first look into our milling process. All stct8r chassis' are CNC milled from solid hardwood.

Thank you! Excellent question. A major tenet of the stct8r brand ethos is to celebrate arcade authenticity. We don't view our controllers as fightsticks. We view them as cabinet trainers. At the moment, all of our Japanese style builds ship with Sanwa JLF levers(with an S bracket due to the control panel depth. A JLX will also fit), and Sanwa OBSN(screw-in type) face buttons. We will never use hardware that wasn't intended for use with the cabinet that we are seeking to emulate. We do however, have a hybrid layout that features a Crown 309K with a 4 button Namco Noir layout, but that is mostly because there are very few controller chassis on the market that can accommodate a full collar Korean lever. All of our controllers from each of our product lines are purposefully machined from solid hardwood. They are not lightweight, and they do not flex. These builds remain stable on your lap under rigorous play sessions, and there are no harsh edges or corners on them, so they are very comfortable to use. I played on an MDF and plexi style 'box' for almost two decades, and I initially designed these to address my frustrations with it. These builds are intended to be used with and outlast any console or pc you pair them with. I'm here to build your last joystick. Technology may shift, and we'll shift with it. Clearly I'm biased, but if you ask me, nothing feels like a stct8r, and nothing plays like a stct8r.

Beautiful craftsmanship, but the real test isn't the walnut—it's the latency. Aesthetics are great for a desk setup, but if that button layout doesn't handle frame-perfect inputs for a Street Fighter II combo, it’s just a very expensive paperweight. Does it actually use authentic Sanwa parts, or are we paying for the "quilted maple" markup? Old school Capcom fans don't care how it looks; they care if it survives a 360-degree joystick churn. How does it feel under pressure?

Dominate old school Capcom games with style! stct8r 002 is not only built from gorgeous walnut and quilted maple, but also features the original button layout from classic Japanese arcade cabinets.

@TheTrain24 This gives me a LOT of ideas. Thank you once again for taking care of the difficult part.

For those interested - the Open Source Arcade Stand (OSAS) is now live in the hardware repo via: github.com/OpenStickCommu… This project is not for the feint of heart! Make sure you do your research before attempting. There will be no further updates to this project.

@JWonggg flt8r?

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO Now I tried many interesting controllers in my life for fighting games but this is the hardest... A flute... An actual working flute... Check it out: youtu.be/0YbdSCRZQ4s LIKE | SHARE | SUBSCRIBE | CHALLENGES

@LyphoYan Merci beaucoup!

Simplement beau...

@GuileWinQuote Until I see SA3 Makoto make it to grand finals, Third Strike has the highest skill ceiling.

What do y'all think is the traditional fighter with the highest overall skill ceiling?

@Bri4nF Hmmm, yeah I guess I could see Oro working pretty well in SF6 from a game feel perspective. I never really got into him to say definitively though 🤔

Give the alien space god a homing projectile and a double jump and maybe an install super that extends her normals with extra energy orbs and have her hold her monoid with one hand the whole time while fighting

More variety is coming for the purists among us. Color options are on the horizon for stct8r Normals! Available layouts currently include a Sega 6 and a Noir 4. SNK 4 will be available very soon. Keep an eye out!

Simple, clean, and solid... no joke.

stct8r #002 is still available and looking lovely! This Walnut and Quilted Maple piece is perfect for any Third Strike diehard!

Looks like Season 3 isn't doing it for everyone. Maybe we should go back to basics?😅
