Hori EX2 Plus Sanwas Equals...

I got back my old Hori EX2 recently after TraitorAI (budding modder/hobbyist) was done working on it (the guy actually built his own arcade cabinet). Hooray, my first modded stick. Now I have 2 working sticks.



I asked him to change the ball-top and have all 6 face buttons replaced by Sanwa's. All the parts were ordered from AkihabaraShop.jp. The Sanwa buttons are more responsive and easier to press (less resistance).

I went for a purple/dark blue theme because I initially wanted to have a matching decal printed. In the end, I was so fickle-minded that I gave up on the decal because I simply could not decide what I wanted on my stick. It would have either been Devil May Cry or Gears of War or Halo. I kinda wish I had went with a decal, though. It would have made the sitck all the more personalized.
