I guess I'm just missing what the physical action is meant to be The detents on an octo gate are nice to ride on for games like shooters where you're holding one direction for a long time, but for things like fighting games where you're doing quick movements that consist of multiple directional inputs it can be helpful to use your fine motor control to move the stick just enough to actuate the switches, rather than gross motor control to slam it all the way to the gate. In this way the square gate acts as more of an over-travel stop than something you want to be riding on.

Dude at our locals has a square gate but very faint notches at 4 and 6 to make those spots easier to feel. Nice solution. Build chat: Been switching between all my different controllers to figure out what I like. got some with keyswitches, both fullsize and slimline, little controllers, big controllers, a qanba obsidian with a goofy leverless adapter. I've settled on liking arcade style buttons the most but sanwa didnt make their silent gen2 buttons in 24mm until just recently so I snagged a set to try out and this controller is finally the way I like it. They only come in black so cant customize a whole lot but the look with the colored cups looks a lot better than I expected. I like the leverless obsidian with 30mm action buttons the most but that thing's just awful to cart to locals since it doesnt fit in a pack.  This started out as a $90 aliexpress box that worked well until the board died so its got a pi pico now and the swapped button plungers. Nice kit for still about half the cost of a branded hitbox. It had the big square USB cable port so I found a panel mount usbc adapter and installed that as well. I want to try shiokenstar split so hitbox layout but 30mm action buttons and spread a lil more but haven't gotten around to ordering that top plate and buttons.     https://i.imgur.io/mKNeJo7.mp4 These sanwa OBSFE-2 buttons are the same cup and switch but the plungers are a different, more rubbery material (TPU vs ABS prolly) with a slightly different mold design. They deaden a lot of the clack without the mushy feel of using foam pads and instead of clipping into the cup they friction fit on the microswitch.

Can you give more info on how you use the Pi Pico as the encoder? I'm trying to build something similar using an Arduino flashed with Daemonbite but I'm running into issues I can't solve. I'd be willing to try a different micro controller if I thought it would give me better results.

Lot of places make various flavors of fight controller boards based on pi pico with all the headers n poo poo you need preinstalled for pretty cheap. There's an open source firmware called GP-2040 whcih pretty much all of them use across these bare boards and the aliexpress stuff with it hard soldered into the controller like flatbox, snackbox, haute, etc. This is the board I'm using. : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJM6GNBH and the firmware is here: https://gp2040-ce.info

Ah, yeah. Numpad is a good notation for directions and movements so 236 is your standard quarter circle fireball and 623 is DP, etc. and always written as if you are in 1p position Really the only good way to type more complex or cursed moves for example dizzy's supers in +r [2]8462, 64641236 where brackets denote a charge

Other common notations would be like: 5LP: standing light punch 2HK: crouching heavy kick j.MP: jumping medium punch 6MP: forward medium punch 4MP: back medium punch LPLK: regular throw 4LPLK: back throw Brackets mean that you charge the motion, so [2]8K is a flash kick and [4]6P is a sonic boom.

Friend was asking and I figured all y'all wizards would know - is there a Hitbox that uses 30mm Sanwa Low Profiles / takes 30mm by default? (the OBSF ones). The only 30mm Hitbox things I could find were cruddy etsy box-only things without even a board.

This sounds like a similar idea to the "squoctogon" gate Seimitsu has on their SELS-70X series and at least some of the NOBI series too, if I'm not mistaken. It's a lot closer to a square gate than an octo, but it has subtle corners in the cardinal directions too. I really like it.

Okay, I've wired it up, it seems to be functional per Steam, just one issue: I got a "slim" case from AFS (there was a long wait on standard ones) and these rubber sheathes on the wiring harness I got are not helping in getting this thing shut. I can get the surface of the panel flush with the box, but there's definitely a little resistance from the wires. I don't want to jam the case down and damage the wiring harness/switches long-term; should I just snip off the rubber to give the wires a bit more flexibility? Is there a different wiring harness I should have picked up for shallower cases?

Ultimately, it's just a piece of metal. As long as you bend them slowly and don't bend them back and forth, it's fine.

Gated & Stickpilled I'm going to repost the Trainglebox in here because it makes more sense than the fighting game thread. I moved the buttons around a little to make more sense, as they used to be in just a straight row, with the green buttons being the top row (X Y RB) and the yellow buttons being the bottom row (A B RT), and a couple up top for LB and LT. I'm going to be an idiot and bring this thing to Anime Boston, so I figured I might as well make it a setup that feels (slightly) more natural than previously. The buttons do occasionally seem to stop working, just flat out do nothing until I release them and press them again (as opposed to being able to wiggle a finger on them to get a response), but I'm also wondering how much is that is the SOCD filter of the 2040GP setup catching my sloppy inputs. I can't remember if it's done that with the face buttons. Anyways the main result of this experiment is that this is as terrible idea as it looks and sounds like. The triangle buttons aren't great, and that makes sense because I think they're really only meant for a specific game. The giant circle buttons were DEFINITELY not worth the effort, as circles just aren't as funny as triangles, even with triangle like angles inside of them. Someone called it a dorito in Discord so I guess that's sealed its fate as far as paint jobs go. Buttons are Sanwa OBSF-24TRs, which can be bought here: https://www.smallcab.net/sanwa-obsf-24tr-c-30_35_67_276.html. It's weird, I only seem to be able to find them on European sites. The circular monstrosities can be found here: https://www.smallcab.net/triple-buttons-c-30_35_150.html The controller board is a GP2040 because I wasn't going to throw a good board into there, but maybe I should? https://gp2040-ce.info/ Idk. Don't make controllers out of triangles folks. First setup:  Final setup:  Also zero apologies for the state of my work bench or the number of tabs open.

First of all there's a bunch of listings, but I got it off this one, I think the cheapest one at the time. ~$22 when I got it, ~$24 currently: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805844645456.html That one has a clear cover so you can swap the art, the other variation I've seen is just the plastic without the cover (or screw holes or anything for it). This is one of the cheaper listings I've seen for that one, also ~$24: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806424247470.html 3D printed but seems pretty solid. I kinda assume the Haute42 equivalent is probably more so from the looks of it (sandwiched acrylic?) but eh it's fine. Functionally I assume it's all the same usual GP2040 stuff, main difference being the addition of the little input screen. I thought the Haute42 one had a USB passthrough port but don't see it on their site, but in any case this doesn't have one either. Mine came with linear switches of some sort. Never used them in extended fashion before, just felt in random electronics stores here and there and never liked them before. Playing with them here...I still don't like em. I've been using scissor switch keyboards for years, and thnikk's Fightboard LP for a while (before this type of controller blew up and got cheap) with clicky Kailh Choc v1s, so also got an order of the Kailh Box equivalents, white and jade (thick click for the right side keys). Jades didn't come in yet, but just going clicky at all with the white switches was soooo much better for me. Compared with the Fightboard LP, first impression I'd say I prefer the low profile Choc switches, but that's going off memory cause I haven't compared directly yet. But it's a pretty minor preference, the standard switches are totally fine, especially after swapping them for my tastes, plus now I can enjoy the full world of nerdy custom keycaps! Main difference is just the extra height while packing it away, we'll see if it matters for the smaller bags I sometimes use. (Only reason I got another one of these things is cause I have the older Fightboard with micro USB. Not a huge deal obviously, but it's one of my only micro USB devices left and annoying to always have an adapter on hand just for it. Another $20-30 for an extra controller, why not!)

I just installed The Link lever into my Hori Rap N and it's cool, but the dust cover feels like it's set a little too high now. I put the dust cover over the dust cover catcher o ring, but I might take the o ring off entirely. Has anyone ever used The Link? It didn't come with any instructions so I'm a little unsure that I set it up right.

I use one and I've just got round to putting a dust cover on it. It feels about right to me but I haven't tried putting it in my RAP enclosure to see how it sits. I'd imagine taking the O-ring off wouldn't make it sit that much lower, but the dust cover would fall off when you remove the stick. I did have to file down the inside of the dust cover slightly to get it to sit right, I'm talking a tiny tiny bit of filing on this aftermarket aluminium dealie, so maybe that might help, if it's catching on the shaft?
