store that sells Push Buttons , Control Panels etc..........

[s8n]

hi members , im looking for a new store to buy Push Buttons , Control Panels , Sticks etc................it needs to be a professional shop not some mickey mouse outfit


i buy from AkihabaraShop.jp and im very unhappy with their service so im moving on to something better


i need some suggestions where to move on to , im hoping for a all in one store for Push Buttons , Control Panels , Sticks etc................


also for Control Panels it needs great shipping options like EMS/DHL/FEDEX/UPS

I still like Akihabarashop, but you could try http://www.rs2006.co.jp/overseas.htm ?

What region are you in? I know mostly US based stores.

As he's specifically asked for panels (I'm guessing original/licensed ones, rather than reproductions), there are very few options. Just for parts, well then there are many to chose from.

hi emphatic and Zapf...............

i like them too but for me the service is consistent with being not good enough , to be exact no Tracking Number when a package ships and late shipping in my current order ( 7+ weeks )

im from Australia

original/licensed ones is what i would like , with a reproduction what is the quality like ?




i sent AkihabaraShop.jp a email and asked them if they would please ship my item or give me back my Paypal payment so i can shop elsewhere , that was 2 working days ago




i started a Thread over at srk and the guys over there say Paradise Arcade Shop and Focus Attack are great , ive got 5 people recommending them

I can vouch for focus attack, at least for making a custom stick. I am located in the US though and they may not have the panels you are looking for. They seem to focus more on custom sticks or customization than arcade cabinets... though one does lead to the other

yeah i cant find Panels on either of them , im going to have to find somewhere else for them but for Sticks / Push Buttons etc im setup up now.

Jasen's Customs have beautiful repro panels, check the Trading place of this forum. Both Paradise Arcade and Focus Attack are good for parts, yeah.

im really glad i havent after reading one page of that Thread , im going to email Paypal and show them that Thread / this Thread and another recent one on shmups.............


as the situation is happening to many people who order from AkihabaraShop.jp i think something needs to be done by Paypal

hi cools , thats right but if you look at the Thread over at SRK

this behavior has started 8 months ago which it looks like there will be no end in sight , imo Paypal need to step in and sort this out


i just finished typing a email and im then sending it Paypal Australia hopefully i get a response

Indeed. I have a theory that one half of Akihabarashop (the one fluent in English) is super busy developing the PS360+ firmware (PS4 support is coming, apparently) and even since the release of the PS360, they might have been flooded with complaints, requests etc, leaving no time for the customer service that was the soul of Akihabarashop before they went into custom hardware. This only leaves the lowly order picker, a salary man with no language skill outside the reading of order forms.

I remember before the PS360, they went above and beyond to provide the best service, even got me a shitload of precious JST connectors NIB for free.

thats a interesting theory on the situation emphatic............

back around 6 years ago i made some orders .........about 5 within a year and all got shipped in a respectable time , something has definitely changed down there since causing chaos

[s8n]

im back with some news............


after me sending 3 emails in one week i finally got a refund through Paypal


this saga has gone on for 2+ months and its over......................


i wont be buying from Akihabarashop again i dont want to go through that , i would like to warn people if you order from them theres a chance you will go through what i did and im not just an isolated case ive read of multiple people have had a similar experience.
