TEasy Mod
The TEasy Mod is designed to interface to the Madcatz Xbox 360 Fightstick, both the SE and TE versions. I’ve designed it to allow for near, and even fully solderless electrical mods for these arcade sticks. The way I’ve accomplished this is through the use of some very special spring loaded pins, placed at the precise spots where you would normally have to solder to.
How do you install this board?
1. CUT the USB cable
2. Install the included spacers
3. Screw down TEasy Mod in the same spot where the 360 PCB originally was, utilizing the stock screws already there.
4. Tighten down the center screw until it basically touches the case… DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
5. Prep the 360TE PCB for install by trimming the through hole leads. You only have to trim the spots that the TEasy Mod will touch that involves a through hole header. i.e. every connection listed in the pinout except USBVCC, GND, D+, D-, only clip those if you feel they are extremely bent to one side or something.
Picture of what I mean in step 5.
6. Line up the pins and clip the 360 PCB on top of the TEasy Mod
7. Run the ribbon cable to your choice of controller board by the use of screw terminals or direct ribbon cable connection to the Dual Strike for a basic dual modded arcade stick.
When you clip it into place, all of the points required are broken out to the shrouded header, allowing you to run the wires how you wish.
Here’s the pinout of the end header, which contains all necessary lines for basic and advanced modifications.
Currently there are two versions of the TEasy Mod, the TEasy Mod v1.2, and the TEasy Mod S v1.0:
The difference in the boards:
- TEasy Mod v1.2: This board works on ALL round 1/2 Madcatz TE/SE sticks, including Femme Fatale/MvC/Comic-Con Limited Editions
- TEasy Mod S v1.0: This board works on the new SSF4 Madcatz TE sticks, and will more than likely work on the new sticks coming out soon (Chun Li Blue for example).
When you purchase a TEasy Mod, you will receive the following:
- 1 x TEasy Mod assembled board
- 4 x Flanged spacers
- 1 x Double ended ribbon cable, roughly 6 inches long

I’ve got 2 single ended cables I can send you. Did Jochen tell you how much they’d be? I normally don’t sell them so I haven’t listed a price or anything.

You guys should spend alot of time working on this blog. im impressed
quick question. I looked at the teasy strike, and i wont work on a rev a model se. is it the same case for this model?
i have a rev a se stick. can i still use teasy?
I need a TEsasy Mod v1.2 kit. When/how can i get one?
I was wondering when would be the soonest date I could purchase a TEasy. Do you ship to Canada?
I’ve read both the teasy strike and teasy mod pages, as well as the SRK thread posts, and for the life of me I still can’t figure out any information on what these actually DO beyond “allow for near, and even fully solderless electrical mods for these arcade sticks”
Maybe it’s just me but it might be good to make this information more clear for potential customers.
So I’ve had the TEasy with the Dual strike mod for a couple of months.
However, as of late, it only wants to work on PS3. I plug into the PC, or 360, and it won’t read it. I’ve tried updating the firmware, but pressing and holding the start button won’t work on the PC. I’ve tried running the configuration tool, but I gen an error.
“Windows cannot find ‘javaw’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.”
I installed Java 3 times, but nothing.
Halp?
I’ve tried updating the firmware, but pressing and holding the start button won’t work on the PC. I’ve tried running the configuration tool, but I gen an error.
Ok, when you say it “won’t work” when pressing START on power up, can you clarify for me what you mean. Does it just not come up (always have the game controllers applet up), or does it give you an “unrecognized device” error. If it’s the first one, have you tried just running the update_firmware .bat file anyway and seeing if it takes, or does it give you an error?

Are you getting any stock soon? I would like to buy two TEasy Mod…
So it turns out I needed to install 64 bit java, so the configuration editor launches now.
But I still have the same issue.
I hold start, my PC says that the USB device is not recognized, and launching the updater does not work either. It says that the specified device is not found.
Also, while the config program reads my stick when I hold select, when I try to load the saves, the program freezes, and when I try to save anything to the device, it seems not to work. I tested this, by disabling PS3 function, and still works on PS3.
I think my Dual Strike has gone busted. The TEasy should be fine, as it’s doing it’s job of solder less connecting.
By the way, I have the original SFIV TE Fightstick.
When will you guys have more of the teasy 1.2 mod available?
