I was doing a little research on Xbox 360 sticks and came across this:

Is anybody familiar with this? I e-mailed them and they said they have some Seimitsu LS-32 sticks, which sounded interesting. I was just wondering if anybody heard anything good or bad about them.

they have a good reputation and make some solid looking sticks with plenty of available options. the guy who runs that company and builds the sticks posts over on shoryuken.com and has a good reputation. only problem is that he has a large waiting list at the moment from people wanting sticks for street fighter 4. someone mentioned in a thread over there that it's about 7 weeks wait for a stick at the moment from AIAB.

It's a bit expensive imo.
I mean it's not THAT hard to build a custom stick yourself.
Hardest part is probably the case ^^"

hardest part is definitely the case, agreed. the cost of power tools to do a good job would probably cost about a $1000 for good quality power tools that i'd want to use day in day out. by my estimate they probably make about $50-80 profit on each stick they make. good money if you can get as many customers as they do, but it's still a time intensive operation for cutting/assembly/soldering/testing. i think they are worth it.

the main attraction is the ones for 360 or even better 360 and PS3

360 control hacks arent the easiest......

the priced may be high, but if you arent good with a soldering iron and electrical plans this might be the best option for a good custom stick for the next gen consoles

glad i found this thread, might have to give them a try. The wait wont kill me..

i just got a reply from AIAB saying they don't have a setup that can fit a Seimitsu stick at the moment.
