If you missed the first two articles in my journey in modding the Atari Ultimate Dual Fight Stick with Trackball, you can catch the part where I added an internal battery bank and power switch here and the other mod was adding in external USB ports as well as an HDMI port here.
Today, I’m going to replace the buttons with LED buttons and also put a nice little LED light to let me know if the Raspberry Pi is still drawing power. Let me start by saying the buttons included in the stick feel really good and are responsive. They worked well in my testing of the Fight Stick, but I wanted to add a little flare to the setup.

Welcome to a series where I attempt to modify Microcenter’s Atari Ultimate Dual Fight Stick with Trackball. I’ve been meaning to do a project like this for a long time. My goal is to add more functionality to the Fight Stick while keeping it nice and clean.
For starters, the Fight Stick has the ability to house a Raspberry Pi inside as mine came with standoffs to install it on. It comes with a power supply that you can plug into an outlet to power it, but I would like the ability to use the Pi without having to always plug it in in case the TV I am plugging the Fight Stick into doesn’t have easy access to a wall outlet.
