    Please Read Before You Order

    Below is important information to know before placing a custom order with us:

    • Project L Official Artwork: Do not submit the PNG samples. Instead, please download the zipped Photoshop PSD version, unzip the file and integrate them into our artwork templates new-window-icon.png for your desired fightstick model
    • Hori Official Street Fighter 6 Artwork:  Please do not submit this artwork for the Fightstick Alpha. It is not compatible with our print and cut, as it contains registration marks that cannot be removed. If you wish to have the artwork printed only, you can use our Non-Commercial Fightstick Panel Artwork Print service. 
    • Hori Official Tekken 8 Artwork. We can print and cut most of Hori's official Tekken 8 artwork, as they revised the artwork files to allow removing the registration marks. Exception is artwork for Jun Kazama which has registration marks that cannot be removed.
    • Custom Orders do Not Ship Separately: If you place an order for a personalized product along with non-custom products, such as arcade part or merchandise, please note that all items will ship together.

    The art cover replacement top panel offers one of the best ways to customize your joystick.  The plexiglass sits atop specially cut artwork, allowing you to add or replace new custom artwork to match your joystick theme.

    Modified for Personalization. Adjusted for 1/16" Plexi

    First generation MadCatz T.E.2 Fightsticks utilized a bevel-edge panel that allowed it to fit flush with the panel border.  In order to offer a panel that can be etched upon, we are offering a 1/16" thick acrylic.  Most notably, the button holes are sized so that the plexi rests underneath the button rims - a common application of plexi. The Blank Etch and Cut Plexi Cover for MadCatz T.E.2, T.E.2+ (GENERATION 2 1/40") uses a much thinner acrylic film and button holes are sized so that the plexi surrounds the button instead of resting underneath it. More information new-window-icon.png about these differences are available in our support section.

    Slim, Durable Configuration. Laser Cut Layout

    The T.E.2 top panel is constructed using resilient clear acrylic, and layout is cut to precision with a laser etching device.

     

    Options Help

    You have several options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, removal of control panel or screws in some models

    Plexi Color, Thickness

    Below are visual examples of available acrylic colors and thicknesses.  Not all colors are available for each thickness, nor are the materials and thicknesses accessible for each Fightstick model. Some colors come in a specific thickness, and are too thin or thick to install properly on the Fightstick. Additionally, some material thicknesses do not allow for full etch, as the material can warp from the laser. 

    When multiple colors and thicknesses are available for your Fightstick model, you will find them within the options list.

    Plexi Thickness

    Plexi Thickness: .75mm thin acrylic
    Plexi Thickness: 1.5mm thick acrylic
    Plexi Thickness: 3mm thick acrylic

    Plexi Color and Texture

    Plexi Texture: Clear
    Plexi texture: Black Gloss
    Plexi texture: Black Matte
    Plexi texture: White Gloss
    Plexi texture:White Matte
    Clear (.75mm, 1.5mm, 3mm) 
    Black Gloss (1.5mm, 3mm)
    Black Matte (3mm only)
    White Gloss (3mm only)
    White Matte (3mm only)

    Notes about Black Matte, White Matte & White Gloss

    Black Matte Sample 1: No Etching
    Black Matte is available in .125" (3mm) thickness only. This color and material texture can be purchased without etching. For AllFightsticks models, you can use the black matte plexi panel as a full replacement for the metal panel.
    White Matte: Sample 1
    White Matte: Sample 2
    White Gloss and White Matte is available in .125" (3mm) thickness only. For AllFightsticks models, you can use the white matte plexi panel as a full replacement for the metal panel.

    White acrylic is also semi translucent - about 80% opacity. You could place a brightly colored artwork underneath for a cool effect.

    Layout Configuration

    Each Fightstick has its own characteristics, with some sharing similar elements, such as the popular Vewlix button layout. We will specify what options are available for each Fightstick. Below are the most common button layout configurations:

    8 Button Vewlix
    First 6 Buttons
    Last 6 Buttons
    7 Button Vewlix
    8 Button Vewlix
    First 6 Buttons
    Last 6 Buttons
    7 Button Vewlix

    Removing Default Elements 

    Some Fightsticks, such as the popular MadCatz TE, offer additional personalization options by removing default elements such as control panel, start button, or screws.  Cut options are defaulted to their authentic counterpart, displayed as [YES (default)] in the options list.  For example, a MadCatz TE, the default configuration is to have the turbo/guide portion of the control panel cut, so that the control panel can fit properly.  You have the option to select [NO] to prevent cutting these areas.  

    Cut Control Panel? [NO]
    Cut Start Buttons [NO]
    Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO]
    Cut Control Panel? [NO]
    Cut Start Button? [NO]
    Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO]

    Cut Control Panel? [NO] - If you own a MadCatz TE, and installed a PS360+, you may no longer need the Turbo/Guide area of the control panel, located at top left.  This option allows you to remove the Turbo/Guide portion.  Please note that you MUST remove the actual control panel on the TE by unscrewing it before applying the plexi, or you risk damaging the plexi.  Also, please make certain to select this option if you are also choosing to have artwork printed, or the plexi and artwork won't match.

    Cut Start Button? [NO] - On some joysticks - such as the Qanba Q4 - the start button is directly on the panel.  You can select to have this removed.  You can also select this should you desire a panel similar to the Eightarc Fusion or Synthesis series Fightstick, as the start button is moved elsewhere.  Again, this option is available on specific joysticks.

    Cut Middle and/or Bottom Screws? [NO] - Selecting "no" on this option allows you to remove the middle top and bottom screw holes on specific joysticks, either for a cleaner appearance or to avoid rubbing your wrist against the screw.  Please reconsider this option if you intend to have a full panel etch on your plexi, as etching physically changes portions of the plexi due to heat.  In this case, it is best to leave the screw holes in place in order to keep the panel securely positioned.

It also exports to PSD, which is the format we recommend for submitting artwork.

    1. Madcatz Plexi

      My original Plexi somehow got warped from being in the sun and this product replaced the original as it was the stock part. Amazing product and gets the job done! on Aug 23rd 2023

    2. Great replacement

      One thing to keep in mind is that this plexi is not flushed with the SFV madcatz te2+ bezel. It is way better than the stock plexi for older te2 on Sep 4th 2019

    3. This is a perfect plxie glass replacement!

      So to clarify the difference.This 1/16 adjusted is a thicker yet slightly smaller Plexi cover compared to the original. It fits perfectly into the little slot for the artwork. And the button cutouts sync up with the holes so your buttons set on top of it as opposed to being surrounded by it like the original plexi. So you don't feel the plexiglass sliding or flexing when you're touching it. This is vastly superior!!! This is highly recommended!

      Important warning for sanwa snap in button users: I have the special edition Chun-Li clear blue case. When I took the original yellow sanwa buttons out in order to replace them, and the original artwork and plexiglass, all eight of the buttons broke. When I replaced everything and put new snap in sanwas to test it out, one of them broke as I tryed to remove it. This is in no way because of the new plexiglass. Just the holes cut out in the Mad Catz arcade stick is very tight and unforgiving to snap in buttons. (Never had this problem with my Razer Atrox) I don't know if this applies to all other mad cat sticks, I just know it applies to my Chun-Li stick. So I highly recommend you switching to screw in buttons. preferably the Cherry MX silver Crown/Samducksa SDB-202C buttons.
