Absolute Question and Answer Thread v.3 (ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)

Sometimes in training mode I press my silent hayabusa buttons and no input registers, are the silent Sanwa buttons more responsive? Does a mechanical levers switches help push the lever back into neutral?

Sanwa buttons are very sensitive. Don’t buy silent Sanwa buttons. Get regular Sanwa buttons and a set of Little Kahuna Pads from Paradise Arcade Shop. The combination works better to isolate noise while not affecting stock button feel. The shaft spring does the work to return a stick to center. The actuation force of a mechanical switch just makes it a bit harder to push the shaft out from center.

will a Seimitsu ls-32 fit into the Qanba Crystal? i’m not interested in the LED working for it, just wondering if it’s possible to mount a seimitsu instead of the stock or the sanwa mod.

First post in years (had to create a new account). Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. I recently bought a Hori Fighting Edge joystick for my PS4. I’ve been getting back into fighters via SFV:AE and DBZF. More recently my wife began fostering a puppy. Upon his initial entry to my living room the first thing this puppy did was destroy the cord for my stick (I was using it at the time to play DBZF and had just gotten up to help my wife bring up puppy stuff from the car. I turned my back for no more than a minute I swear!

Long story short, how feasible is it for me to replace this cord? I’d rather not have to drop $200 for a new one. Can the cord be replaced? Where would I get a new one? And how hard is it to swap out? I’m comfortable poking around inside sticks to change joysticks and buttons, and I could probably pull off a bit of light soldering if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there, has anyone had any luck fitting a Seimitsu LS-40-01(or LS-3201) into the Qanba Obsidian? The SS mounting plate will not line up with the current mount holes.

Is my only option to drill my own?

As an update I opened up the stick and was able to unplug the chewed up power cable from a board inside the stick. I need a part # or descriptor for this cable. little white plug on one end w 5 wires, and a USB to plug into the PS4 on the other end.

Can’t you just do something like this? I’m no expert, but it looks like it should work. Also I found this replacement cable, but its for a Qanba so I’m not sure if it has the same end as the Hori Edge or if it’ll work.

Yea should be 15minute fix for first time arouns.

Yea it should be 15minute fix for first time arouns. If there’s enough of the original cord you can strip it to the red white blk green & ground.
You’ll need another USB-A cord as a donor and you can crimp them, wire tie them & electrical tape, solder and shrink wrap them back together. You can jerry rig for quick fix or make it look bettee then OEM with braided USB cable eight after the white JST harness you unplugged. Both take about same amount of time.

Youtube how to repair USB-A cable.

Here is a youtube video from a fellow SRK user

To answer my own question and before the forums goes on freeze mode. I decided to just vector the “S” in the TES logo. Only issue is that I suck at vectoring so with the magic of Illustrator’s Magic Trace this is what it turned out to be.

It isn’t a true vector and probably isn’t 1:1, but close enough.

So, I heard that the backdoors where the usb cable for the stick goes, is fragile asf. And that is for pretty much every stick.
How long have you guys had the backdoor intact?.

Also, why are the forums freezing

ive had the cable door on my hrap 4 kai intact since i bought it several years ago. im just careful when opening/closing it. alternatively you might be better off just removing it so it doesnt break since those things are usually flimsy and made out of plastic. ive never broken one, but all my friends have.

My backdoor has always been intact (except for when I eat things with lots of habaneros). Anyway…I intend on keeping it that way (unless, of course, I ever go to prison—then I might not have much choice)

Dude…look up to the top of the page. Yeah, that bit in pink that says:

Dammit i was going to make the same wisecrack lol

That is not what I meant to ask lol. I mean, why migrating? Are they gonna move all of this to another domain? Are you gonna have to start another thread?.

And btw, any way to make the storage door more durable?

Also, y’all need more spicy food in your life smh

What’s the difference between the earlier akishop PS360+ and the later one?

And does anyone know what the going price for them is? The price check thread in trading outlet is kind of dead.

Ive seen people use velcro and stuff, but thats mostly to keep them shut once theyre already broken. i would just say be careful.

lol, gotta have that spice, cant enjoy food without it

sega saturn question here - i have a jp hori fightstick with the akishop360 pcb…i use this stick on my ps2/ps3/dreamcast…i just picked up a saturn and was wondering if i could use the fightstick on my saturn? where can i purchase a rj45 saturn cable? and once i get the cable would it just be a plug and play type deal?

thanks for the help!
