PFS5: MX Powered Lever Panels

The Panzer Fight Stick 5 MX/HE Panel Kits are a completely new way to build Fight Sticks - buttons are no longer required! Well, not in the traditional sense. at least The MX/HE series of panels designed uniquely for the Panzer Fight Stick 5 removes the standard arcade button and replaces it with either hot swappable Cherry MX compatible switches or our new Hall Effect system and key caps. This provides overall cost savings and maximum customizability.

Button Layout Specifics.

We've taken the beloved layouts you love and added a few extra face buttons for L3, R3, and TP Click to allow you to bind them to different options in game. Don't want to use them? No problems! Don't install a switch in the position and ask us to not cut the hole for your cut on demand plexi!

• SP1MX - Based on the Sega 1 Player Side of Candy Cabinets with three additional buttons added for modern fighting games.
• SP2MX - Based on the Sega 1 Player Side of Candy Cabinets with three additional buttons added for modern fighting games.

Construction: The traditional panel, bezel, and stabilizer plate are combined and machined out of a single piece of aluminum as a single unit. This maximizes strength, minimizes switch wobble, and integrates the panel and bezel into a single setup. Compared to a standard Panzer 4 panel, like the ABMX, this system is cheaper AND more robust. 

Cost Savings: The Lever Based MX panels have 11 face button inputs in total (4x Punch, 4x Kick, TP Click, R3, and L3) - that's 11 buttons you don't have to buy, or in another sense - $90 you aren't spending on buttons such as the Seimitsu Alutimo. Plus you have your choice of a traditional mechanical switch (MX) or hall effect switch (HE). Both are great options with unique features.

Customizability: The Panzer 5 MX/HE panels are easier to build and compatible with a wide variety of switches depending on the system you choose.

The MX system uses the Kailh hot swap sockets to allow use of both three and five pin switches. Swapping switches is easy - you can fix a switch or change it out in a matter of seconds. No clumsy, difficult buttons to disassemble and disconnect!

The Panzer HE system uses Gateron magnetic switches that allow per button control of their actuation point! Using our custom user interface is simple and each Hall Effect button has over a thousand set points you can use to get the most precise controls of any fight stick on the market.

The MX/HE Panel comes with: 

• Panel
• Hardware
• Panel specific wiring required for the Panzer 5 - specifically, the harnesses for the front panel buttons and both JP and KR levers (if applicable)
