My custom Godspu joystick


It finally came! The wait was well worth it! The day the package arrived I was nervous and giddy like a schoolgirl. I could barely keep my hands from shaking as I un-boxed the long awaited custom stick. It came wrapped in layers of protection. Words simply couldn't describe how I felt as I marveled at the craftsmanship and attention to detail. I was simply blown away. Everything I had asked for, Godspu delivered on and exceeded expectations. It might be the pride of ownership in me, but I must say that this stick is his best work yet.
I asked for a dual console custom stick with round edges, similar to the glossy simple black stick he made before. But I wanted to have it in a pearlescent white, and incorporate some LED lighting elements into it. Godspu offered some suggestions like the plexi side panels so I trusted his vision of the project and it came out looking awesome.
The details:
+MDF construction
+White base paint with pink pearl flake
+Dual console (Xbox360/PS3) - Madcatz SE PCB, Toodles Chimp Board
+Sanwa JLF stick
+Seimitsu PS-14-G-N buttons
+LED lit buttons and case
+Xbox microphone jack
+Seimitsu bubble top
+Anondized aluminum shaft cover
+Removable cord
The paint job was professional and perfect. Pictures don't do the paint job justice. I went with pink pearl since I had some pink Sanwas I was going to re-use (but ended up getting the Seimitsus since I needed screw-ins)

Clean clean clean wiring and attention to detail

LEDs lit up


And it plays like a dream too. Having the stick farther away from the buttons makes it more comfortable than the TE.
I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending Godspu for any custom joystick or even modification work. He was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive. He even obliged me with work-in-progress pictures.
