Panzer Fight Stick 4 & Mad Catz TE Panels
Restore your beloved stick or upgrade to a new layout. Premium steel construction with multiple layout options.
The Mad Catz TE Fight Stick was a game changer — it turned Mad Catz from a cheap peripheral maker into a respected one inside the FGC. Its Vewlix arcade cabinet styling influence is still beloved today, and fight stick enthusiasts still use them with various mods such as our TE EZ MOD and a series of Brook fighting boards.
They evolved over time with slight design changes (Original TE, TE Round 2, and TE-S) but each body used the same metal panel. Best yet, you could forgo the plastic bezel on the early TEs and use the same full size plexi from later models to completely change the look.
I started making Mad Catz TE replacement panels in 2016 to help people restore their beloved sticks by allowing them to ditch the rusty metal panels that plagued them over time. Now they are back.
Wait — These Are the Same Panels Used on the Panzer Fight Stick 4?
That's right! I took the great thing from the Mad Catz TE (easy panel swaps) and adapted it for the highest quality all-metal fight stick cases on the market. The Panzer Fight Stick 4 (PFS4) is the 4th iteration of my award-winning Fight Stick series started back in 2012 as a personal project.
The benefits of using the same panel for the PFS4 as the TE can't be overstated: better offerings for more fight stick enthusiasts and more panel options. Plus it made for some interesting sub-features of the PFS4 not seen in other niche fight stick makers. Not everyone needs or wants a Panzer, but if I can make a great product that works with multiple products in a high-quality fashion, I will. It saves everyone time and money!

Installation Notes for Mad Catz TE Sticks
Mod at Your Own Risk
Modifying these cases with new panels, EZ MODs, levers, buttons, etc. is not hard. However, due to the intermediate plastic divider in every case, there may be some trimming/cutting of plastic required to install modifications and new panels.
Remember, the case was designed with a specific layout (Vewlix, narrow) and plastic molds were designed around it. If you do not feel comfortable with trimming/cutting plastic, do not attempt to mod your case. If you damage the case, panel, or any internal parts during the install process, I am not liable. Do your research!
