Good morning everyone! Wanted to throw launch the shop into the Tech Talk Community because why not... every other vendor has. I'll migrate over my SALES threads to here and ask the mods to close them out once I get everything moved over.
** About me and the Shop **
Some of you may know me, some of you may not... I am Jasen and I am a DIY-Aholic. I build Fight Sticks, SuperGuns, Print and Cut Custom Graphics, and Sell buttons, sticks, and tech to fuel my addiction. What started out as a minor hobby as a kid (pulling things apart to see how they worked and getting rocked at Street Fighter II and Samurai Showdown) turned into an obsession. Many things I make such as the Panzer Fight Sticks, SuperGun Cases, and graphics started out as something I needed for a project I was working on. Over the past two years it evolved into a "business", a term I use loosely because I'm not trying to make money... just trying to save it for my random projects and passing it along the best I can to the community. By night I may be an arcade/gaming enthusiast but by day I am a LCDR in the US Navy and drive Submarines for a living. Because of my day job I have been able to learn a lot of crazy stuff that has influenced my designs and projects. Thanks Navy for training me and testing me as a Nuclear Engineer!
I run this by myself so I know the quality of parts, prints, and builds... in my house. America was built from the home, I'm going to try and keep it that way. Plus it saves me money :-D
** Announcement Section / New Projects **
Panzer Fight Stick Korean Edition
Ok, enough of the touchy-feely stuff. Let's get onto some Tech Talk. I had a customer that really wanted a stick based around the Myoungshin Fanta Stick. It was interesting. His design was ideas were good and I really liked the case when it was done. Fast forward to April 2014 and my vacation to Seoul Korea... I went overboard and bought a crap-whack of Fantas. Also learned that "Crown" isn't the company name... it's actually Crowin. I digress...
I went to work designing a Panzer Fight Stick to house the new stick because it's completely different than everything else on the market. I wanted something new and unique as well as tough and worthy of the Panzer Fight Stick name. This is what I came up with:
- Panzer Fight Stick Korean Edition
- Crowin/Myoungshin Fanta Mounts
- 30mm Buttons Vewlix Layout
- 24mm Buttons Front (Home Start Select)
- Neutrik Interface for USB or RJ45
- Black Sandtex Top and Graphite Sandtex Bottom
- Low Profile Feet
- Digitally Printed Graphics
- PS360+

I am going to do a limited run of these, only 10, and they will be completely built out ready for kicking ass when you receive it. So far, the facebook response has been very good. I don't expect these to last. Price point is being determined due to the limited number I am doing as well as the fact I plan on using GamerFinger buttons in the final product.
Silent JLFs - $69.95 (Harness and Balltops Included
https://jasenscustoms.com/Sanwa-Silent-JLF-Lever-JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK.html
I was skeptical at the value and the bennies associated with the Silent JLF... until I got one. These are very quiet. I posted up in the SANWA JLF Thread my db findings and it's damn quiet. I think the max room dB was 106 with the standard JLF being clicked around and then 76 with the Silent JLF being clicked around. It wasn't the most scientific test, but it was the best was I could numerically represent the stick. All Sanwa really did was solder the quiet Omron D2RV-G switches to a standard JLF PCB and make the gate a single piece vs. one with a removable gate. It looks like the actuator may be a little larger than stock, but I haven't broken out the calipers to check it yet. Stock JLF gates/restrictors work with the silent stick as well as all of your original balltops and harnesses.
Buttons, Buttons, and more Buttons
https://jasenscustoms.com/Pushbuttons/
I have a stock of them now. I resisted for as long as I possibly could. It just made sense to start carrying a few so those buying Panzer Fight Sticks could include them with their orders. Nothing special or new about these buttons. They are just good OBSF-30s and PS-14-Gs. Ill be adding more as I get them photographed and uploaded. If I don't have it, I can get it or simply haven't added it yet.
Standard JLF - $19.95
https://jasenscustoms.com/Sanwa-JLF-Lever-JLF-TP-8YT.html
Playing nice with others has its benefits. Another shop and I teamed up to get a killer deal on Sanwa JLFs and have been able to bring the price down to $19.95. Same great stick, new lower price. Oh, did I mention it ships for $3.99?
Crossbone Kits - Launch 21 June!
@Phreakazoid did a killer job coming up and implementing a slick pad-hack to use the XBONE with your current or future stick builds. We have been chatting since it's announcement on brining it to JasensCustoms.com and what the best way to implement it was. I have teamed up with @armi0024 from ParadiseArcadeShop.com to pool our braincells and release this on day one with a lot of great options!
