Firefox-Notched Faceplates for Competitive Melee

For years, it often felt that the only way to compete in Melee at the highest level was to own a firefox-notched faceplate, carefully hand-crafted by one of the world’s top artisans.

With so much demand and so few fully capable of the task, this would cost hundreds of dollars — and you’d be lucky to receive it in months. To add to this, it’d only be a few months before major signs of wear.

Today, we have controllers with notch-calibration capabilities, so all we need is the faceplate. This is where Sparkplate comes in.

Our faceplates are laser-scanned replicas of hand-notched designs from Kadano, one of the world’s top artisans. Injection-molded in durable cast aluminum, they deliver unmatched accuracy and feel—at a fraction of the cost. Pick your color and feel like Cody Schwab today!
