Introduction
Imagine a combination of the BnB and 4TW enclosures… This is what this Deep Sea CM enclosure looks like! You see, Deep Sea CM is a provider of DIY enclosures that you can also order preassembled. There is more than one shape.
Performance
This enclosure has 12 buttons by default. As for the joystick version, there are eight buttons. Also, there are three function buttons per side (left and right). Consider Sanwa parts to optimize the performance of this enclosure—providing you responsivity and durability.
The height of the enclosure means that, in addition to Japanese joysticks, Korean joysticks are also compatible—such as a high quality Myoungshin Fanta lever.
That said, the USB passthrough comes out of the center back, which is a tactical location to prevent the cable from being an obstacle while you play your favorite fighting game.
Hardware
The quality acrylic of this enclosure is of noticeable weight. The bottom is where you can find one foot per corner to keep the enclosure stable while you pull off the sickest combos. The enclosure’s interior is quite spacious, giving you an easier time with wire management.
Needless to say, you can make the enclosure compatible with a lot of consoles by installing the PCB of your choice. The PCB can also ensure you minimize input delay to almost zero. In this case, we recommend the Brook brand.
Appearance
This enclosure has one of the most unique shapes in the history of humankind. Again, it is like a combination of the BnB and 4TW enclosures. Oh, and the bottom is partially see-through.
What you can do is have custom art surrounding the bottom’s see-through area. In the center of the see-through area itself, you can have an awesome symbol or logo that is related to your character of choice, for example. So, you can have your Deep Sea CM enclosure showcase custom art. We are talking about top and bottom panel art.
A suggestion is for you to have a character-focused design on top and a less busy design at the bottom (with a similar theme as the top). Then, you can walk into the next tournament with style!
For custom art, we at The Arcade Stick can provide you our tried and tested service. For example, our artist Javier Machin made the design below for the 4TW:
