Well it ain't like they will make you any better at the game. You will always lose to bad Nash's.

My second VLX, the Kim stick, modded with the usual:
Anyway, when I try to change one of the Gamerfinger buttons caps with a white one, the mechanical switch harness came out of the plunger. That has never happened before and I should have taken a picture of it. It took 10 minutes to put it back together.

I actually ordered the Hayabusa shortly after posting that. It already came in the mail today. Amazon is so fast.
Cell phone pic (sorry):
And my old SCV Hori with Seimitsu screwbuttons, Seimitsu bubbletop, Link by PhreakMods, and dual-mod courtesy of Gummo. I love this stick. It's a shame my crappy cell phone picture can't do it justice.
My only complaint is that the art in the buttons gets spun out of alignment. I only bother with it if there's something interesting going on.

That is sick! How much did your wallet vomit for that magnificent weapon?
thank you very much guys. glad you like it.
The case, Sanwa buttons and joystick + PCB all together is still much cheaper than a premium grade Madcatz TE or HORI sticks.
you can check it out www.arcadestick-indonesia.com I think he ship worldwide
as for the art its just something I did myself by printing and cutting
soo no its not expensive at all

Damn that is a pretty cool looking stick. Might pick up one for the collection. I doubt I'd give it much use but it has a very unique look for sure.

I have a question for the more skilled folks in here who have done a lot of wiring/electrical work with your joystick mods...
I'm thinking about getting this new PCB Brook put out:
And installing it into my MadCatz Fightstick TE, but I'd like to be able to keep the cord that came with the stick. Mainly because it's super long (13 ft) and has the breakaway feature in case someone trips over it. In order to do that though, I think I'd need to put an actual connector onto the inside end of the wire.
Where would I get the connector (USB Type-B) I need and are there any good instructions online for wiring one up? I mean short of dismantling a cheap cord and making a best comparative guess of which terminals correspond to which.
Any help would be much appreciated!

How do you like that stick? I'm thinking of importing it instead of picking up the Kai v2

Your username is all over the sticker on the stick and the site as well. Do you...work with them?
Edit: I see that you do.
Woot. Arcadeshock selling the new hayabusa buttons. Bought 6 for myself.

Nice. I hope they come in different colors at some point.

It's similar to my Martini X1 stick from B15SDM:
I love the way people get creative with plexiglass.

These are flippin' gorgeous. How'd you manage to affix the art to the top of the Vewlix?

Maybe? Sorta?
I just want to know where to get the male connector and then how to attach it to the wire on the stick's existing cord. Right now it's soldered to terminals on an Akishop PS360+. I'd just like to be able to plug it right into the Brook PCB's USB terminal like it was a whole new cable with connectors on both ends.

Well, at least you didn't get a vlx just for the new buttons.

I almost did...
I was planning on getting another stick anyways so I guess it kind of worked out in the end haha
I paid for new faceplates and new stick arts at http://www.jasenscustoms.com/Fight-Stick-Replacement-Panels_c_47.html
Unless you can repair the soldered USB cable, you might as well get a 15ft cable from Ebay. I will warn you that the brook pcb does not like certain long cables. I brought a 15ft white one and it would not work with the UFB's USB slot.

Anyone have any experience with these buttons? I really didn't like the kuro buttons and how squeaky they felt.

New PS4 revision of the eTokki Omni is now up for pre-order (Korean and Sanwa versions): https://twitter.com/etokki/status/712448891652677633
Cheapest shipping option to the US appears to be $47... I'm so close to pulling the trigger. Though I wonder if I'd also get charged with some last minute import fees once it arrives...

I've always loved the basic look of this thing.
lol. Yeah...I'd have bought the new VLX if I didn't have 3. I don't like those HRAP shells, so that was never an option. 24 bucks and six buttons on their way.

what kinda PCB is in these?
I did some design for their Street Fighter V line up for now. hopefully work on something else with them in the future :]
thank you :]
We might do some more collaboration soon. :]
It's almost identical to the Sega Virtua Stick High Grade. Did they just outright copy the design?

I don't mind them too much. I like how portable feeling they are though. It's nice to have a light stick to mess around with sometimes and for when people come over and want to use one.
I was going to get some Hayabusas for my TE2 but I think I'll wait until they release some more colors before I decided to get some for it. If they do release other colors that is.
Still waiting on a new FE and VLX diamond though.... someday.
Oh god damn, that's tight as hell.

Was looking for a TE 2 + around town but it was sold out. Found a TE 2, bought it. It will replace my HRAP 4. Now must add some Neo Geo art to the new stick.
The Hayabusa shaft is pretty much the same as the one from the JLF, so you'll be looking for JLF parts. I've had one of these QanBa shaft covers on a Hayabusa before.

where do you print out your artwork? very nice!
ahh cool I didn't even think of that. Thank you
Those Neutrik things are just standard USB cables, so they're not breakaway (or they're only as breakaway as standard USB cables).
So yeah your best bet is basically to splice a short USB cable and figure out which lines line up. Or swap it all out and see if there's some other breakaway USB cable you can use. Everything I can find seems to be for the 360...some might work but likely require splicing somewhere either way.
Or I guess a combination of both solutions: Brook USB to short cable to Neutrik inside the stick, then hacked up breakaway cable from there.
Tried it with other USB devices to see if it's the cable itself? 15' is near the limit for USB 2.0 so I imagine the tolerances for cable quality are tighter at that length.
I like them. I had an older revision 4 Kai and replaced the Kuros with Sanwas. However, I sold that one (w/ the Kuros) for the new model and am leaving the new Hayabusa buttons in, at least for now.
They have a short throw, are very low profile, and pretty snappy. A little quieter than Sanwas though you can feel a tiny resistance. They seem just as good, just a little different. Not a must-buy if you have Sanwas, but so much better than Kuros.

On twitter they said it's "a PS4/PS3/PC PCB by Brook" which I'm assuming means this.

I wish I could get a hold of that LED board...fucking mad catz
No structural differences aside from the foam silencer. Paradise Arcade Shop and Focus Attack also sell their own aftermarket silencers if you want to try out silent buttons on the cheap.
