Panzer Fight Stick 4 Panel - ABMX Kit

Panzer Fight Stick 4 ABMX Kit

ABMX is going to change the way you play fighting games. In development over the past couple of years, SheldonTwitching, pushed me to finalize the design and bring it to life. Why? He was tired of using sub-optimal buttons and didn’t like the slabboxes on the market, citing them as too small and too much like a toy. They simply didn’t work for high end competitive play in the FGC. With the Panzer 4 hitting the scene in early 2023, previous work was quickly adapted and ABMX was born. It provides a quick installation of an all-button panel that uses MX switches instead of a traditional arcade style button on the Panzer 4 and the Mad Catz TE with some modifications (unsupported and there are no installation instructions for this case).

Benefits:

• MX Mechanical Buttons come in hundreds of combinations and are trusted by high end PC gamers and Keyboard Enthusiasts alike. You can customize every single button with a different switch on ABMX due to the hot swap sockets installed.
• No friction between the switch caps and the ABMX parts. The button caps have plenty of clearance around them to ensure they can not rub on anything degrading speed or switch return.
• Inspired by high end keyboards. Each MX switch is properly stabilized with an aluminum stabilizer plate to eliminate wobble.
• You can use many MX style caps on the market and Jasen’s Customs will be releasing ABS molded ones in the future.
• Simple electrical design. No flashy LEDs or integrated console compatibility is integrated into the ABMX PCB. This allows you to choose how to build your Panzer Fight Stick and what PCBs you want to use.
• Fully compatible with the Panzer Fight Stick 4 EZ WIRING.

ABMX Final Build Example

What the testers are saying:

“After 11 years of trying every all-button controller on the market – the ABMX is the only one that feels competitively viable. Zero rubbing on the return of each cap means you’ll feel the speed and accuracy increase immediately. Competitively speaking after the ABMX, there is no going back.” – Sheldon Twitching, Discord

“I have tried everything when it comes to arcade style buttons, and nothing remotely comes close to the ABMX design in terms of accuracy and speed. This is instrument-level quality and it shows in its performance. Jump on this now.” – Remiri, Discord

“If you play on hitbox or were ever curious, save all the money you’ll waste on buttons that are half solutions and get this. Keyboard community solved every issue with switches for us already. This is infinitely customizable.” –  Kpowren, Twitter

Installation and Modification Notes for the Mad Catz TE Fight Sticks

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. Remember, mod at your own risk and do a lot of research.
