Plus you also have to re-solder in the USB cable and all the buttons if you don't wanna change the look. A ton of arcade games will want more than that and you have nothing to wire in. You only have four face buttons, after all. These battops combine well with the stiffer spring and basically make your controller feel like an amalgamation of the AES stick and the original MVS sticks, to say nothing of the battops of your (presumed) childhood arcade sticks.įinally, you could get something like a Brook fighting board, but this would probably be a waste of money. They put a smidgen of glue into that thing which basically becomes a light dust on the stick after you twist the balltop off. They'll screw right in, but note that you will have to put a bit careful effort into unscrewing the X's ball top, possibly with a screwdriver underneath (I used an old arcade stick's mounting plate) to hold it in place.

They're available at a ton of online parts shops (including the two listed above) along with eBay for about five bucks a pop. You could swap out the buttons for 24mm Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons, but they won't quite be 1:1 flush with the original setup, as those buttons have a combo housing+plunger, whereas AES originals just have plungers.Īnother option would be a pair of Sanwa LB-30N battops. Thin, easy to remove, east to cut-to fit, etc. If you got disposable gloves, put a pair on.Īlso note: get some cheap double-sided tape to put the feet back on. Note: whoever makes these neo geo sticks use a ton of (what I hope is) silicone grease in the stick housing. You can though, change the feel (tension / stiffness) of the LS-56 joystick, but swapping out the spring to either the LS-58, LS-60 or LS-62. Arcade Shock has a small advantage in that you can also add something slightly stronger in case you wanna test a couple different types out:įor example, if you have a LS-56 joystick, naturally, it will come with a LS-56 spring. The springs themselves are in the $1.50 range.Īrcade shock and Focus Attack both have a listing for original LS-56 springs. You're looking at something like $10 total to get springs for two sticks, as most sites for arcade parts charge $5 shipping at a minimum.

You'll upgrade the personal value of these things by like double just by swapping that thing out. The one that comes with has got to be the flimsiest, lightest piece of shit I've ever held.

Right off the bat, replace the stick spring.
