How To Make Your Own Crappy Arcade Stick Out Of Old Junk

Redditor Gioppi wanted an arcade fight stick, so he built one out of an old keyboard, some cardboard and a broken pencil. It’s not very good.

Here is Gioppi’s Dell keyboard from 2003, from his project gallery.

Here is Gioppi’s keyboard upside-down with many of the keys taken off. He remapped the number keys and arcade stick button keys via his laptop.

Here are Gioppi’s Sanwa-quality arcade controls.

Here is Gioppi’s joystick, affixed via hot glue.

Gioppi’s arcade stick is a horrible work of art. If Leonardo DaVinci had made an arcade stick, it would look just like this, only with an IBM keyboard and a bit less hot glue.

How does Gioppi like his creation?

“Feels like crap, I’m ordering an actual one right now...”

Good man.
