I'm looking for a set of buttons for my SE Kiki.
I know you'll think I'm a lunatic, but I quite like the stock SE buttons - what would be of a similar feel to them? (What are in the TE for example?)

Placebo

i want

8 see-through pink buttons that fit HRAP 2 [think they are screw? KN ?]
2 black buttons for start and stop [smaller]

and see through, sparkley pink ball top




replace pink with blue if n/a.
Sorry im illiterate, il try look at site myself

Retr0gamer

A box of used japanese schoolgirl underwear please unless they've made it illegal.

K.O.Kiki

@A-trak, Sanwa OBSF in the TE, though they're a lot lighter - but IMHO, you get used to them very quickly. Could also try Seimitsu buttons, they're quite decent.

@placebo, I know what you need

@Retr0gamer, I think you want Jlist.com

A-Trak

Hmm interesting - do you need to order micro-switches as well?

K.O.Kiki

I'm afraid Sanwa OBSF & Seimitsu PS-14 microswitches are more-or-less incompatible (Sanwa OBSFs only fit in Seimitsu PS-15s), and neither will fit in the stock Madcatz buttons (which are round instead of square). :-/

Jesus man! Where's the NSFW warning?!

K.O.Kiki

Well, it DOES have an age verification thingy!
Jbox.com for SFW.

I might want some stuff, I'm still undecided on whether to mod my FS3 or get an new stick...
I'll give ya a shout tomorrow if I want anything.

DarkTalant

Right, I've decided to give building my own stick a go...
So what parts would you advise. I was thinking either a sanwa JLF or a seimitsu LS-32 and sanwa buttons but I'm not quite sure, what do you think about them?

AFAIK the Tekken 6 cab in quirkeys uses Sanwas (pretty sure on this) and a JLF (not entirely so sure on this but I think so), you could go in there to check them out if you've never tried them before.

It's all down to preference, personally I think the JLF is the best stick I've used (haven't used an LS-32, though I have used an LS-33).

DarkTalant

The TE has sanwas, does it not?
I've used one of them and I thought the buttons were a tiny bit too sensitive... but I'd say I'd adjust after a while.

Dreddybajs

Yep, was just thinking in case you hadn't used them at all, the TE is sanwas and a JLF. They are very sensitive but you do adjust easily enough (well, I did anyway after using EX2 buttons for months and then SE buttons). If you think they might be too sensitive you could order Seimitsu buttons instead, but really I think sanwas are easy enough to get used to - you just have to be more careful about how you rest your hand (not press down on the buttons etc.).

You would probably be better off with Seimitsu buttons, they arent as sensitive. I tried a few sticks and buttons but ive settled on sanwa jlf stick and Seimitsu ps14 buttons. Its perfect for me now.

DarkTalant

kk, thats probably a good idea as I kept getting EXs with the TE...
One more question: snap-in or screw-in, which is (a) easier to work with and (b) better for use?

K.O.Kiki

I would advise screw-ins unless you're building/modding a stick with a metal top panel.

They use the same microswitches so no difference in play.

DarkTalant

Right...
in that case get me:
8 green PS-14-G-N(seimitsu screw-ins)
2 white PS-14-D-N(seimitsu screw-in start buttons)
and a blue JLF
Also if there's anything really really really really important that I've forgotten(aka don't know about) feel free to order that for me so long as it isn't too expensive as this is the first time I've built a stick... but I can't think of anything else that I can't get easily enough...

K.O.Kiki

You forgot a 5-pin cable
Added.

Do you want all-green or green with black rims?

A-Trak

Hold off on my order for the moment thanks Kiki

DarkTalant

oops, cheers for adding it... all greens if it's not too late, but it dosen't matter that much.

Placebo

do i need microswitches aswell?

K.O.Kiki

@A-trak, gotcha.

@Placebo, no you don't

K.O.Kiki

Alright, the parts have arrived.
Ill send PMs with order totals later (prob today).

Placebo

yay, did you get mine?

K.O.Kiki

Of course
Dunno why you wanted 8 buttons though, seeing as you only had 7 wired up last I saw :P

Placebo

what colour did you get ? extra 2 are there so it looks nice and SEXY [i never use this word but its applicable here]

thanks alot btw !

K.O.Kiki

The pink skeleton buttons in the first pic.

Placebo

****ING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!



no homo

DarkTalant

WOOO!!!:D
Looking good, I'll almost certainly be up on sat so I'll pay ya then.
Thanks again mate.

A lot of bro-mance in this thread

joconnell

Gis a shout for the next one kiki - I reckon some semitsu bits might suit me a bit better than the stock se parts - shall have a fiddle with dooms at the next meet!

K.O.Kiki

Well, it might be a while until I do another order.

However, I do have a Sanwa JLF, springs for making it stiffer if necessary, and 6-7 Sanwa + Seimitsu buttons in stock. Can't remember what colours, PM me if you're interested.

joconnell

Hmmm - cheers but not too hot on the idea of mixing different feels, pity I didn't get around to playing more before you stuck the order in

K.O.Kiki

Do you have a Madcatz stick?
Cos I can install a stick in about 6 mins on Saturday if you want to get a feel for it.

joconnell

Yep it's an se - myself and doom are old mates so the feel he'd go for would probably suit me fine too. I'll drop in when he gets his exams over with and give a few a run!

K.O.Kiki

joconnell, sent you a PM.

joconnell

Just a quick shout to say cheers to kiki on this - he sorted me with some better seimitsu parts and it's a big improvement - less **** attempts at specials
