Heads up for those looking for a solid, cheaper entry into the obsession that Markman has started in all of us...
WWE Brawl Stick - Amazon $29.99
Currently both PS3 and 360 versions are in stock and available at that price.
I know I'm repeating myself from the previous thread but since this is a new one I just need to vent my frustration:
Why can't more arcade sticks be like the ones above??? I really wish arcade manufacturers put more space in between the stick and the buttons. I tried playing with the Madcatz TE's, the Hori V3's, and it's so uncomfortable for me having both of my hands so close to one another. It overall has such a cramped feeling and I don't see how having them so close is a better design decision.
Oh well, I still use my T6 HRAP 3. I think I'll stick with it and eventually mod it with other buttons and sticks when it gives me trouble.

God dammit! Just ordered this stick from Amazon a few days ago at the original $70 price. And it just shipped yesterday so I can't cancel it. What should I do? Does Amazon do full refunds on accessories like this?
Modding can be that expensive? I payed $40 in total cause I'm importing it to Canada. Was thinking of just changing the artwork as I don't want the Rock to stare at me all the time while I play. :Sif you're going to spend the time and money to mod it, you might have well just bought the SC5 stick for an extra $30.

Which stick should I buy if I want to dual mod it? WWE Brawl Stick - Amazon $29.99 And what is the easiest way to dual mod the stick anyway? This will probably be my first stick to mod since for that price, why the hell not?Heads up for those looking for a solid, cheaper entry into the obsession that Markman has started in all of us...

At the current price, it would be cheaper to buy and mod both ps3 & 360 brawlsticks than to buy the cheapest stick that accepts a simple dual mod, the madcatz SCV stick and the associated kitty/chimp/Cerberus mod.
The cheapest dual-mod board starts around $40.
Posted this yesterday in the old thread...
The HORI RAP V3-SA Kai and VX-SA Kai. US versions (yes it's coming out here). Early.
The Kai is way different from the V3-SA (VF5 edition). There's a lot more to the stick other than the button layout. It's worth going in (if you know what I mean) and seeing how other things stick together as well. Overall. I don't like the stick, but that's just my personal preference.
Regarding the EXChanger, lol at that stick. There's a reason why no one uses it. NeoPenny (another collector/avid member of the Mexican/TJ FGC) went above and beyond to try and get one... just to be disappointed. It has a lot of cool stuff going for it though. It's just the actual feel/usage of it doesn't get the job done.
I miss reviewing sticks. A competing stick company asked me to review their sticks and I told them I could probably do it but under a pseudonym or something lol.

Just bought the brawl stick for the PS3. I'll pick up the 360 stick later in the week if its still available for that price.
Reserved Post for future information. Currently filling it in with random images of arcade sticks (and girls) lol.
Anyone know the size of the hex screws on the madcats VS stick? This hex key set I have laying around is not fitting.. Going to the hardware store tomorrow and I don't want to but the wrong size/metric or whatever..
Dammit, it's back up to $70.Heads up for those looking for a solid, cheaper entry into the obsession that Markman has started in all of us...

How easy is it to mod a V3? Mine's coming next week
Regular V3??
I hope you are good with soldering.
I just bought the Hori SoulCalibur V stick for the 360 recently. I'm looking into dual modding it since most of my fighting game friends play on PS3. Is there an easy, solderless dual mod solution that's compatible with the Hori SCV stick?
I've heard something about a "ChImp SMD" being something I'm looking for, but I can't really seem to find any solderless tutorials or anything like that.
Or is it just more worth it to send my stick off to someone else to mod it for me?
Oh, um, it's the Hori Fighting Stick V3 for PS3, if that's what you mean.
The Chimp is the only way I've seen the Hori SCV stick dual modded, but that is NOT a solderless solution and I know of none in the pipeline.
That stick looks like this inside:
There is nothing easy about modding this stick and you'd be better off with almost anything else if modding is your desire.
Yay! Arcade stick thread round 2!
No joke, this crazy thread has totally changed the type of gamer that I am. I used to like some console FPS games, a touch of action and an RPG or two. Then looking at this thread I got the crazy itch for a DIY project, so I built a stick in my spare time, I didn't even play fighters or anything. Now I pretty much just play fighters and SHUMPs (VF5!), I streamed much of EVO, my kids showed up on Kotaku's front page dressed as Ryu and Chun-li, and I'm currently making a little list of the best arcade stick friendly PC games to share in the Steam sale thread. So yeah, arcade sticks are pretty nifty eh?
My next project I actually found a guy at work giving away an old 2P X-Arcade for free. I wanted to put some nice japanese sticks and buttons in it and pad hack some 360 pads into it. But honestly, it just feels so delightfully trashy as is I almost don't want to change it at all. Might eventually put some eurosticks and buttons in instead.
O hay it's my coworker

nice led mod man. I'll probably just mail my stick off to someone else to do that.
the PS3 TE is only compatible with UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface), which is an Intel originated proprietary standard and far from universal. Any knowledgeable and experienced engineer developing a USB device knows and fully understands the differences between the various USB standards:
UHCI - USB 1.1 Proprietary Intel Standard
OHCI - USB 1.1 Open Standard
EHCI - USB 2.0 Open Standard
inorder to use you have to have a UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface), i can personally recommend via chipsets as this was my solution and all that has bought pci cards with the via chipset have reported that it works.
