In this video I go through the process of upgrading my old Madcatz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition stick to a brand new Eternal Rival High Tier case. I had the Madcatz stick since it came out, eventually I had swapped out the main PS3 board for a MC Cthulu, and then had gotten a PS360+ installed at EVO 2013 to let it work with my PS4. I now needed a board to work with PS5 so I upgraded to the Brook P5 Plus Fighting Board, and decided to just go with a whole new case too. At this point the only part I'm still using from the Madcatz stick is the base of the joystick, I've replaced the board with the microswitches at some point and swapped the original ball top for a bat top.
One thing I did forget to mention about the Eternal Rival case is that I didn't think about how the see through acrylic would get fingerprints and dust/hair trapped in the case and in between the layers, which can detract from the aesthetics if you're also going for a fully clear case. The art helps disguise this, even if it's also see through.
