The Buttercade Bullet Xtra Knob
The Buttercade Bullet Xtra joystick knob is six times more expensive and comes with one third the mass. It’s weird, and I like it.

3D Printing Sega Keys
One of my arcade machines has only one key, so I tried to 3D print a duplicate. It worked! With some real caveats.

Seimitsu’s Alutimo Buttons
Seimitsu’s new Alutimo buttons are the best I’ve ever used. The caveats only come into play when one swaps out the Cherry MX switch inside the button.

Rediscovering: Old joysticks
In 2024, joystick maker Seimitsu’s catalogue starts at part number LS-32. In the 80s, they made a rotating ‘loop lever’ joystick, used in SNK’s Ikari Warriors arcade games, which was the LS-30. But I recently found a joystick that has a lower part number than that, and it doesn’t seem like it exists on the internet. Which is interesting!

KEIKOU Control Panel
I bought a New Astro City cabinet that needed a lot of work on the control panel. I stripped it down, got the rust off, primed and painted it, then added a custom dark overlay and installed Seimitsu’s KEIKOU (fluorescent) buttons and Bulett knobs. It’s hard to photograph but it looks gorgeous in person.

3D Printing: Credit buttons for arcade cabs
I recently picked up a 3D printer, after borrowing one for a few days and having a great time with with it. My second project is a pair of coin input mechanisms for SNK and Sega arcade cabinets.

Arcade Control Panels and Etc
I’ve been getting back into my arcade bullshit lately, and I’ve started putting together a little repository of information about control panels, joysticks and adaptors for them. There’s a page on the GameSX.com wiki which will lead you to all the details.

Taito Egret II Mini Joystick
Taito’s Egret Mini II Console has an optional joystick, and it’s a modern wonder. New and excellent mechanism, and solid construction.

Arcade Cab Update
I’ve been tinkering a bit more under the hood of my Sega Naomi cabinet. Honestly, and I’m not proud of this, I spend way more time fucking with the wiring than I do playing games.
