And they're misleading, at least for the JLF, cause the octagonal gate (and circle afaik) are bigger than the square. The throws to the diagonals are the same distance while the X/Y axes are extended out to match.
I remember it in particular cause when I got octagonal gates myself I was expecting it to constrict the diagonals, but instead it extended the other axes. Worked fine but wasn't a big fan of the increased throw area. I got the JLF Kowal actuator a while back to bring it all in, and it made the stick a little tighter too, it was a nice addition.
...but hell if I know how the Hayabusa one is. If it's the Kowal thing I saw before I'd trust that it's good just cause other than my experience with the JLF actuator, the guy is crazy about stick details, I figure he knows what he's doing. Looks like it works with the JLF actuator too, might want to try that too depending on the throw of his octo gate.
I ordered both the octagonal gate and the actuator.

I don't think you're considering the fact that actuators are round and can't go all the way to the edge of a sharper than right angle corner. And it's reasonable to assume a correctly made octogate will have the same or slightly less horizontal and vertical travel because expanding the travel means the actuator would just crash into the microswitch.
I'm a fan of those two items. Both are installed in all of my sticks.
So my original plan was to install the Brook UFB in my stick that currently has a MC Cthulhu installed. I was just gonna swap out the boards. I was thinking though, is there any good reason to keep the MC Cthulhu? If so, is it possible to easily install both boards in one stick?
I also totally forgot I had a stick case made for me way back that I never did anything with. I could just leave the MC Cthulhu alone and install the Brook UFB in that.

Forgot we had a stick thread, so I guess I'll cross-post this here:
My Xbox One Hitbox arrived today. Funny thing is I guess these ones are made in China instead of here in the US, but it actually came in real packaging compared to the other ones I have. The PS3/PS4 ones I got were just bubble-wrapped basically whereas this has a proper box with a handle and such.
Checking it out on Windows 10 it seems to get recognized as a stock Xbox One controller, but there doesn't seem to be any issues registering LT/RT like on some other Xbox One sticks folks have reported. USF4 and KOF 2002 on PC registers all 8 buttons fine. The menu buttons on the top are also different than my PS3 or PS4 Hitboxes in that they are much stiffer buttons (maybe ~45g switches); does Sanwa actually make a switch that stiff? Not sure those are actually Sanwas, but the face buttons seem to be.
So I guess if you were looking for a new Hitbox for PC usage and don't care about PS4 support, I'd go with the Xbox One version.

Got around to checking tonight, and yep! There was still a thin, plastic film on the top of my plexi. I removed it and it looks much better now. No more scuffs and scratches all over it.
All of my sticks have both pcbs with in v2 board through rj45 pass-through. They are like that since I play on DC, ps2, and original xbox along with last gen and current gen console. With the imp v2 and MC Cthulhu, auto selection between ufb and MC Cthulhu is really nice. I can plug into any console with ease.
On the other hand, if you play on the ps3 a lot with other local people, it would be better for you to have two controllers.
Not finished yet, its a project for the Venom PS4 arcade stick.
Absolutely beautiful. My boy Captain Commando doesn't get enough love. I was super bummed we never got him in Marvel 3.

Brook adapter works with PS360 in ps3 mode.
I'm sure this was known, but I haven't been paying much attention to the device. I have a few cthulu mods, have to see if those work. Pretty much every stick I own will work on ps4 now.
I resoldered a model 1 Sega Saturn controller from broken cable with a third party Sega Saturn controller cable should that be enough skill wise to get Brooks adapter to convert my hori hrap3sa?
Would like to avoid getting a New stick for sfv and ggrd revelator
I'm not sure I understand the question.
If you're looking for an easy way to get a stick to current gen, I'd say you should just get the brook pcb:

Sorry should've clarified but thanks only knew of the Brooks ps3/ps4 fight board that one is new all together for me, thanks.

I would bet smoke for sure. White buttons on that stick wouldn't match anything on it. I don't see them doing that.

Does anyone in the UK know where to get artwork printed out? I need to get some art done specifically for the Fightstick Pro and a Qanba Q4.
Ever hear back from Art about this?

He said he was open to it. I'll ping him again tomorrow.
Are you planning on restocking the led pcbs?

I saw there was an update for the 360X1 to PS4 adapter on Friday but didn't install it yet. The comment on the Brook site says Select + Right Stick to simulate touchpad. Is that the new macro for it (instead of L3+R3) or is that for emulating the touch function itself?
I'll be trying it when I get home anyway (if I remember to) but it would be nice to know right now.
I only tried just the back button on a 360 stick. Didn't try the regular controller. I *think* select+RS is to simulate swipes, and L3+R3 is now share, but not 100% sure.

Guys, for the Brooks adapter, which update do I need for a 360 stick. I see a handful of them listed on the official site in the "360 to PS4" page, one even says "Optional". I assume it's just the latest one/top of the page?
The latest one at the top is fine.
Has anyone ever found a way to get the original TE2 to stop squeaking when you put pressure on it with your hands/wrists? The squeaking comes from the edges of the top panel where they mean the bottom half of the stick, along the line where it opens. Does that make sense?
It's the plastic squeaking because it doesn't rest completely flush when the stick is closed.

So I have a Mad Catz SFxT stick for Xbox 360 that I would love to use on PS4 for Street Fighter V and I really do not want to buy another arcade stick,
What is my best option? One of these Brook adapters (which look difficult to obtain) or a CronusMAX? Even though CronusMAX is a bit pricier, I can also use it on Xbox One too. However, using a USB hub and a standard controller on PS4 is kinda funky.
Thoughts?

Ordered some obs-mx buttons with cherry-mx blues. Thanks Skilletor for recommending these, it was a toss up between these and the RGs.
I'm a fan of cherry-mx switches so I hope these are what I'm looking for. There wasn't a lot of videos/reviews out there regarding these so this is leaning towards a "blind buy" which I typically avoid.
Once my TE2+ arrives I'll swap out the art, new buttons and post a vid.

I have both and it's a trade off of flexibility vs. convenience, really. It really just depends on your priorities.

I was just looking to order black or red panels as well but they are sold out.
I hope someday Mad Catz has a stick customizer where you can select all the parts you want with your order.

Yes, I just don't have an ETA. I need to check.
Just installed the plate and it immediately felt real good. Had no trouble hitting all the corners, and it still felt smooth.
Gonna test out the actuator now.
Hey everyone. I'll save the whole speil, at this point I'm just putting feelers out there...
1. Is there anyone out there that has any interest/would be willing to trade a Playstation family HRAP (HRAP VX SA i think is the comparable one) for a XBOX 360 family HRAP (the one pictured below, I think it is called HRAP EX SA)? I know there is probably very little motivation to do this, but if you have one, and don't have a PS4, and plan to play SFV on PC, it would be no difference to you. I'd even throw in a little cash or some cool old hardware or whatever to make it worth your while.
2. The above trade seems sane to me, but if its insane, please let me know where I went wrong.
I also have the original HRAP EX and replaced the buttons with Sanwa's. I need to splice a new usb wire (it will only work when taped to the back of the stick in a certain position, but besides that its a fantastic stick. So, like, if you have a good Playstation family stick, but not one that is HRAP EX SA worthy, perhaps we can still work something out.
A lot of this depends on SFV stick compatibility, which I have received conflicting reports about. But if PS3 sticks work with it on PS4, then I am all in on making this trade.
Would prefer someone NYC based so we can do it in person, but I am willing to do mail stuff as well.

Hey guys I was wondering if the following will work.
I have a MadCatz SFxT Fightstick Pro (Xbox 360 version) that I currently use for PC. I was thinking of getting a Brook Super Converter 360 > PS4 so I would be able to use my stick on a PS4 and Vs my friends locally when I go over to their house.
I tried to find out if the Brook Super Converter is compatible but it doesn't list the SFxT fightstick, I was under the impression that the components were the same as a MadCatz TE albeit with a different body. Is anyone able to confirm that the Brook Super Converter 360 > PS4 works with my stick before I lay down the money and order it.
Also does anyone know if the converter will introduce any sort of unwanted latency for the other player using a regular PS4 controller in a offline Vs match.
Not that I think it should make any difference but the game will be SFV

Artwork or other stuff like layouts/colors or the whole stick itself? Whatever it is, prototype if you can, even if it's just like printing out something on plain paper and laying it on the stick. Won't be accurate or anything, but it'd give some idea of what it'll look like in the flesh without committing to it.
Main concern would be if the screws fit the controller board you're using, like I remember the PS360+ had some tiny holes, and not much space for the screw heads to rest. Worst case there's always creative zip tying.I found these glue-able PCB standoffs. Anyone have a different suggestion? These seem like the way to go.
The adhesive would be another one, but you can get some good 3M mounting tape if you don't trust the included pads. Just make sure the surface is clean and has enough contact and it should hold fine.
So according to the following thread we should be able to use PS3 sticks for the PS4 version of SF5, right?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1181730
Is there some further confirmation or an update regarding this?
I have a PS3 arcade stick with an MC Cthulu PCB - hopefully this won't be any different and will still work fine.
If I know that I can play the game perfectly fine with my current stick I am buying a PS4 along with SF5 day one.

So here's some fun:
The update did, indeed, make it so that Options/Back functions as the touchpad press, which makes it so that all controls for, say, Destiny are 1:1. This made my WOL better, for sure.
But there isn't a macro for Share anymore. I was thinking that L3+R3 would end up being share, which is fine, but no joy. It's like Share isn't even mapped at all now.
