Since Windows 10 update KB3176938 supposedly "Improved compatibility of using Xbox One controllers with various games", do we finally have working LT & RT buttons on the Xbox One fightsticks from Mad Catz, Hori, and Razer in Windows 10?

Looking forward to trying out the new Hayabusa buttons.

Ooooh, please post pics!

Recently scored 2 sticks of my own:
A HRAP 4 Kai for $95 and 360 MK stick for $49

Happ/IL joystick question:
Just got a new Happ stick and hitting the diagonals is a real pain. The area where 2 microswitches are engaged at the same time is very small, acting almost like a 4-way stick. I added 4 layers of electrical tape around the square actuator which completely fixed the problem 100%. My question is: is there a real/permanent fix for this? Does anyone make an oversized actuator for them?

I'm a terrible photographer, so any pics I'd take would be a disservice to the sleek design. In terms of hardware it seems like it's virtually identical to your HRAP 4 Kai. Same Hayabusa parts and all.

I really like the buttons, very springy. And I'm glad they engineered the 24mm button so that the plunger doesn't fall below the rim anymore when pressed. That always felt super cheap to me.

What you think of that Hayabusa lever?

What you think of that Hayabusa lever?

Personally, I feel very at home with it coming from a Sanwa JLF. I know it's not exactly the same geometry, but I needed zero time to get used to it. I was intending on swapping it out for a JLF since that's what I always use, but now that I've tried the Hayabusa, I see no reason to change it.

BOTEC! i met you at SCR wayyyy back in feb 2014. how ya been?

 

[Zackat]

Figured I would give an update. I finally remembered to pick up a can of spray paint to do the sideplates I talked about earlier in the thread.

Came out pretty well. Went with the Flat Black to match the Hayabusa buttons I have.

Rust-Oleum 2-in-1 paint that bonds to plastic is what I used. Put on a coat lightly, let it sit for a bit, then put on a second coat.

 

[BOTEC]

It's a quality part. Like mdsfx said, it's very JLF-like. I'm more of a Seimitsu guy, so I don't use them a lot, but I'll keep this one stock just for the heck of it.

I think you're thinking of someone else. I've never been to SCR, or any video game thing in fact.

Cross posting from the FGC thread:

Has anyone here either dealt with Marvelous Customs or used one of their sticks? I got a quote from them for a dual-mod hitbox and I'm curious about the comfort/utility of those acrylic cases they use. Do they have any issues with sliding around on a flat surface or using them on your lap? For reference, what I'm used to is the original Mad Catz TE, which is pretty dang comfy.

 

[RaySpencer]

Do they make micro usb input ports that I could use on my VSHG with the Brook UFB?

The white is pure sex but I will probably cop the red one since I have a white HRAP (for 360) that I use currently on Steam for SFV.

I'm gonna stay strong. If Hori announced a new FE, I'm cracking tho.

The mock-up images look kind of awful to me (except the white i guess), but I bet the real thing will look a lot better than this.

Do anyone have experience with silenced arcade buttons.

I modded my VSHG with a silenced sanwa stick and "silent" buttons, but honestly.. the buttons sounds less, but still quite a lot.
The stick is amazing though. Plays well and is very silent!

Components used:
JLF-TPRG-8AYT-SK (stick)
OBSFS-30 (buttons)

Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzIIVD0sx8s

Would like it to be even quiter if possible (to play late at night while wife+child sleeps).

Things left to try:
- These foam inserts in other buttons:

- These things (HBFS30-G2)?
http://shoryuken.com/2013/09/02/shoryuken-review-hbfs30-g2-silent-buttons/

Anyone else have experience with silent options for buttons?

We installed these at work after there were some complaints about some of our more... rowdy employees being REALLY loud and slamming buttons super loud. Anyone with experience with Seimitsu PS-14-GN buttons knows they have a rather sharp click when the plastic hits. These made them MUCH quieter. It also makes them slightly more squishy, but it wasn't detrimental and, honestly, it was very quick and easy to get used to.

That wristwatch, is it a SARB017?

Awesome, Ill try them out then. Im ok with some mushyness if quiet.

Any recommendations?

The Guardian is $60, and if the ECT code is still working, you can get an extra $10 off.

Seconding this. I just got a Guardian and it's super duper nice. Well padded, lots of space (my HRAP4 Kai fits with plenty of room to spare), several compartments. And it doesn't have a gaudy design so I can comfortably wear it in public without it sticking out like a sore thumb like those crazy Splitframe cases do. Recommended.

Oh wow Reimu and Marisu from Touhou! That'd go perfect with my Genso Rondo special edition.

Ordered regardless.

[hikarutilmitt]

Nice.

Though, to be fair, modding an existing stick with a UFB might have been cheaper :3

Also, don't forget, the stick doesn't use headsets.

can i get an adapter to allow headset support with the HRAP V?

 

[hikarutilmitt]

It just doesn't pass the audio at all. You can get DACs that do optical output and send it to a headset or get something like a PDP Afterglow AG9 headset that is fully wireless.

 

[sixteen-bit]

is there a brook adapter that does xbox one to ps3?

If so, do the analog sticks map correctly as well? This wouldn't specifically be for arcade sticks. The lunar white X1 pad is my current favorite traditional controller for 3D games and I would like to use it on the last few PS3 titles like Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel 2

[notworksafe]

There's an X1 to PS4 converter but that should also work on PS3, since all wired PS4 devices work on PS3. Analog sticks should map fine, I've never run into a problem using Brook converter with a regular controller before (this is on PS->Xbox stuff but I assume it's all the same).

the only problem with wired PS4 on PS3 is that the PS button doesnt work

Weird, I recall Sony pushing out an update around the time of the PS4's launch that corrected that issue for the DualShock 4.

as far as I know its not fixed. I havent tried with an actual DS4 in a long time, but if my fightstick is in PS4 mode the PSbutton wont work on PS3

I'll have to test that with my TE2 on the PS3 next time I try to play UMvC3. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[notworksafe]

The optical stick was nice and all, but I think I'm going to do some swapping with it. So I popped it out and threw a Crown into my Cena stick...now I'm ready for Tekken 7!

Good shit, buddy. Congrats on the new stick.

 

[Dash Kappei]

So hey, finally found the first big downer about having moved here in Tenerife: buying stuff online is maddening because tons won't ship here (even Amazon's MP "handled by Amazon" is a no-go) and of course there's not much choice here for videogame shops. All my stuff is in Italy, I only have my WiiU and PS4 here.

But I couldn't deal anymore playing SFV with the ds4 and any arcade-y games/shmups so I went ahead and scored a new HORI hrap 4 Kai for €100.
Decent stick? Good deal (I noticed Amazon is selling it for €149)? How annoying it is that it's missing the touchpad?

Edit: what are the differences with the V Kai?

 

[PinballRJ]

V Kai is for Xbox 360 and Xbox One

 

[SDBurton]

So I sent a ticket to MadCatz a few days ago about their colored bezels and just now got an email saying whatever they have is on Amazon. Waaaaaaat. :/

Update: So back in July they messaged me (after showing them proof of purchase) that they would send out 2 colored bezels of my choice when they receive a new shipment. They said it would be in a few weeks. I called them last week (basically giving them a month and half to get this done) to find out what was going on with that supposed shipment and all I got was a shoulder shrug 'I dunno, we haven't received anything yet'. Fuck outta here with that bullshit. Customer lost.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Oh ok, so it's the same as my IV Kai.
What about the stick itself, is it any good? Is €100 a pretty good deal on it or it is just weirdly overpriced on Amazon (€149) and €100 is its common price on the street?
Still waiting on it (I guess it'll take at least another week, goddamn Canary Islands' customs!) but I'm pretty excited to get back to SFV finally with a stick!

 

[Neoxon]

I'm noticing that whenever I hold left or right on the Character Select Screen, there are times that the stick randomly does a double input. Should I get a new JLF?
