Double Upper - Custom arcade Hitbox design with two up buttons

thingiverse

**Double Upper**, my custom stickless arcade controller design, with a second Up button above the Down button. This button layout is derived from the Shiokenstar layout, itself based on the traditional Hitbox layout but with 30mm action buttons rather than 24mm buttons, and the direction buttons separated from them. I created this design out of my desire to have an Up button with the other directions in the Hitbox-style layout, resembling a WASD control scheme. This makes it ideal for puzzle games where quick Up to Left/Right directional input is required but jumping is not, while still allowing for regular Hitbox control by retaining the Up button below the LK button. I also wanted to add a slant to the box for ergonomic reasons, as recommended by [Slagcoin](http://slagcoin.com/joystick/box.html). 3D printing made designing this trivial. The name Double Upper is a reference to Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, specifically its Japanese title, Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper.
