Huge news! Of course, I already have one PS4 stick, and two more coming...but the effort is appreciated nevertheless.

Ball's in your court, Capcom
Very excited that NetherRealms is using our PS3 stick driver.

Hopefully this won't be the last dev to do so!

That's such an awesome thing you did for the community! So I guess that means stick backwards compatibility will most likely only be on Sony platforms because you don't have a xbox driver, right?
There's no way to do an Xbox One backwards compatible driver, as far as we know.
Madcatz just inked a deal didnt they with Capcom for SF5?

We don't have a date yet, they're still en route. Once I know, I will let everyone know
Thanks for the response mark man.
On my questions from the last page (in terms of the HRAPv4 vs the Kai), anyone know how suitable they'd be for mounting buttons on the side and potentially front? I want something that can double as a pinball controller, but if mounting buttons on the side and front is impossible, then obviously I'd look elsewhere.
Are there other sticks I should consider? Even the Brawlstick?

This is awseome. Much appreciated.
I already bought sticks, for universal PS4 game compatibility, but being able to use an old PS3 stick without any adapter or stuff is great. Hope it gets the ball rolling. I'd love to see Injustice and Xrd get patched, too, but I'm assuming it's too late for those.
I was looking at Focus Attack, I'll jump over to Arcade Shock and take a peek. What ever happened to Lizard Lick? I purchased parts from them, but I remember it being more expensive.
You might be able to do that with some 24mm buttons. Keep in mind that there are handles/wings on the side of the stick for lifting.

LL skipped town with unshipped / pending orders too. Shady af.
That's unfortunate. I was able to receive my parts, although it took awhile. It's nice to know there is more than one place to purchase parts now and they are reputable.
Yeah, I figured as much. Obviously don't want to hack away at something too much that costs ~$200, which is why I'm leaning more towards the Brawlstick. Will keep in mind the 24mm button thing though, that'll definitely need to be taken into consideration.

As much as it really sucked that that happened, at the same time Chad was a super cool guy who ran LL incredibly well beforehand. I've always been concerned that maybe something happened since there were some nasty storms in his area at the time.
They were cool to me. I forgot a single part in my last order and they got it out to me ASAP and charged me 2 bucks.
Sure you can. but why would you want a JLF spring in a hayabusa?
I was gonna try the 2lb spring.
I am under the impression that the stock Hayabusa spring is nearly identical to the JLF's

Yeah it works on the hayabusa
The 2lb spring's not stock, it's a swap-in that you can purchase to up the tightness.

Just a heads up, the kowal actuator doesn't fit without shaving it down if you are interested in that.

Just checked the FedEx shipment tracker, says the USFIV TE2 arrives tomorrow. I said goddamn.
Is it May yet?
Can't come soon enough...

It's here! There are literally no photos of the Hori RAP V anywhere online at all ever, so here we go.

Wow very nice. I like the artwork of this better than the kai. So much cleaner.
Can you post a pic of the control panel? Also is there a padding on the bottom like the kai?

I wish it had the foam pads, but nope. I found out that if you want to turn a button off, assign the button to the turbo button. Someone posted some good instructions like 8 pages back. Also, a couple microswitches squeek on the joystick! What are some good replacement microswitches? I just want it to feel like a typical arcade joystick.

Interesting that the foam pad is not included as I was hoping that would be a new hori standard going forward.
That sucks to hear about the squeaks in a couple of your joystick switches as I had no issues or squeaking with mine.
Be aware that in order to change out any switches you will have to desolder them, then solder the new ones in. Unfortunately I don't think hori sells replacements either. I replaced mine with the omron d2rvg switches. These might not be what you are looking for as they are the switches used in the sanwa silent stick so there is no clicking. Also in order to use these, a 1mm oversize actuator needs to be used as well. The irony is that one of the switches I received has a squeaking problem. What's weird is that I only hear it if I move the lever in that direction slowly. I don't notice it all while I'm playing so it's not a big deal.
Im not sure if you imported or not but maybe you can try just replacing your stick under warranty. Good luck.

Actually the stick stopped squeeking after I played with it for a bit! I'll prolly get some clicky switches anyway since I love the sound of them.
My bad, I only started reading this thread a couple weeks ago. I couldn't find any photos on youtube or google.

Wait, what? We put two of the oversized actuators into the Hayabusas here at work without any issues. Was there anything weird about your Hayabusa that caused it to need the shaving?
shaunLEGEND
Member
Are yours the kowals or the ones from Paradise Arcade? I know the ones from Paradise Arcade work fine because of their shape which is more gradual than the kowal. Mine is the kowal and it kept getting caught on the edge of the gate.
The issue was the kowal sitting too low. I remedied that by putting a second e-clip but it wasn't a 100% fix, so I just shaved into it and now I only need one e-clip and there are no issues.

Ugh. This makes the wait so much harder. I really hope they start sending orders earlier than May.

Gonna chrome one of mine...or maybe strip and polish. Depending on how that goes, I may do the other.

Ours are the Kowals from focusattack.com. These:
http://www.focusattack.com/kowal-1mm-oversize-actuator-for-sanwa-jlf-series-joystick/
We have 2 Hayabusas, 2 of these and 2 bat tops in the stand. They fit without problems.
Looking at it I noticed it says 1mm, so I'm wondering if maybe there's a thicker one like a 1.5mm or something that is too thick.
what size screw fastens the control panel to its frame?Just put the finishing touches on this
Im not sure, I haven't had to take it off yet.
Also just posted my update video:

Would anyone be interested in buying two Sanwa JLFs from me? Not used I just decided I liked the Kai Hayabusa stick enough that I'm only swapping out buttons. One is all ready to go the other needs a pcb.
$45 shipped or just $25 if you only want the one and you can have the Kuro buttons free.

I've had the USFIV TE2 for less than 2 days and the stick is already squeaking. Was hoping I could go a long time without having to open the damn thing. I don't trust myself with things of this nature :/

I am Korean.
I've had the Soucalibur Madcats stick for about two years. Last night the stick wouldn't move. I punched it, and now it works fine. Dunno what that was about. (Dirt of some rock-like sort maybe?)
Minus a weird thing it's done since I got it where it periodically decides to disconnect itself form the Xbox and I have to unplug it and plug it in a few times before it remembers it's a joystick again... It works great.
