New Options Available For All F8STIK Models

As of now we have new options available for all our models, not just custom projects. We now offer 2 different engraving options to give your new arcade stick a touch of your own personalized design.

You can choose between the carved engraving and laser engraved pattern. Engraving can be done as a small part somewhere on the fightstick or you can choose a larger scale pattern (something like button and joystick labels across the whole surface).

New Model Out Now! - Model GS

So it is finally here, our new model - F8STIK model GS. This is our latest design as an asymmetrical fightstick. The difference between the model GS and SX is also in button layout - with GS model we moved the side buttons to the top, where they serve as a Start/Select options, but can be rebinded at any point for specific games (if rebinded you get the unique 8-button layout).

We also offer the option to have the model GS with 8-button layout + the 2 top buttons, if you are a fan of the 8-button layout, then this will be the option for you.

GS model is made from solid 1-piece Alder wood with ergonomic lines. Includes high quality parts and is supported on PC and PS3 systems.

How to: Switching 8-way and 4-way Joystick Restrictor Plates

With our model SX you receive 2 joystick adaptors (restrictor plates) in the package. We already mounted the 8-way adaptor instead of the 4-way version; the 8-way adaptor offers far better gaming experience ie. for fighting games where you need to execute fast and reliable combos.

The video below shows how to switch joystick adaptors in case you would like to play on the 4-way version. For many of you this is probably selfexplainatory, but just in case this video shows clearly if in doubt how to do it.

Happy gaming!
