Just no MS console support is all
Thanks, do you know if the boards come with those screw terminal headers or no?
hi, i just received the board with the preinstalled kit from focus attack. my pc isnt recognizing this.
You probably donāt have 360 drivers installed
I do. If im correct, its the windows 7 64bit system 360 drivers. Sorry for the lack of info. let me explain further.
I have the USB connected to the board, and plugged in the usb to my PC. It read, so i wanted to test some buttons and the joystick to see if everything was working. Had to install the drivers to do that obviously, so I did that, but it failed. So i unplugged the usb, plugged it back in, and the problem occured where it didnāt recognize the board at all. I tried a second usb cable and that didnāt work. So I restarted my PC, plugged it in, didnāt work again, unplugged it, plugged it in again and it did work this time. Loaded the drivers successfully this time. Unplugged it ( i had to change the orientation of my joystick due to how they added the preinstall kit), i plug it in, the controller (was named ācontrollerā in windows devices btw), was apparently having driver issues. I try to reinstall the drivers (had to wait awhile for something to happen), and the drivers failed to install. So I unplugged the controlled, plugged it back in, and now im back to it just not working again. :[
Iām such a jobber. I realized the issue. I accidentally mixed up the quickdisconnects and wasnāt pressing home +select when plugging it in this whole time. So it can connect. But im having an issue now with the drivers. I connect the controller and its reading it as a HID device, and isnāt being read as a controller. I tried reinstalling the drivers, which it apparently did do but its still not being read as a controller.
Hey, so another question. How would I go about screwing the board down in a TE1 case? I donāt have the bolts for the original TE1 pcb.
I swear someone asked this question earlier, possibly somewhere else.
Just use hot glue or zip tie anchors.
You can also get small, sharp screws to screw into the plastic posts near the terminal strip.
You will only get one to line up, so just go with the zip tie anchors.
Is there any way to disable/enable the SOCD cleaner on this and the UFB? Are are any alternate firmwares out there?
I assume youāre using a hitbox/ABC layout. Someone asked @GOGO.Zippy before but I donāt think he understood the question.
No alternate firmware has been released since.
Or use male/female stand offs like I did here. I know the Razer has a more inviting base for mods, but you could do it.
I found this pre-installed kit https://www.focusattack.com/ist-pre-installed-brook-ps3-ps4-fight-board-pcb-kit/
I have a Qanba Q4RAF.
How to connect the Home & Select buttons? Would I need to drill holes for those 2 buttons or solder? And do I need to do anything about the touchpad? I heard touchpad is used to reset training mode position in games like GG Xrd, BBCPEX and N+B.
You need to do neither.
Get the paradise kit with breakout and you wonāt have to do any additional crimping.
Use your turbo or mode button for touch pad and, again, the breakout accomodates that. The one you linked does not without soldering/crimping headers.
If you want Microsoft compatibility, get the UFB with soldered headers option.
This one will require a crimp for the touch pad, but thatās all.
With either option, you can toss your old USB cable and use a standard A-B (printer) USB cable and no soldering would be necessary.
I asked this in the razer thread but i guess that wasnt the right place to ask.
iām curious why that focusattack kit has what looks like 2 capacitators soldered to the brook pcb itsself.
The points theyre soldered to dont seem to be detailed on the brook info. Anyone know what theyre for?
you can see it in the above picture posted by Styles
FocusAttack isnāt going to know why they are soldered there, the owner admitted that āthey arenāt very technicalā in their own threadā¦ they just buy those kits from IST and resell them.
Looking at it quickly, they are likely just large bypass capacitors. If they were important, Brook would solder them on by default. IST probably did it to ensure as many points as possible were used so the board didnāt look like it was missing parts. They donāt add anything of immediate value that I can think of. Ill look closer at my bare board later to see if I can determine anything further.
The short answer, donāt worry about them 
Not sure if you solved your problem, but pressing home+select(share) before plugging it in is for updating the firmware.
PC should recognize it as X-input device once plugged in without pressing anything. Something is wrong. Iām on windows 10, not sure if that makes a difference, but I didnāt have to install any Xbox drivers. Just plugged it in and it auto-downloaded/installed the driver.
All you have to do is connect the correct wire to the button you want it to be. Ideally you want 4 buttons for Options(Start), Share(Select), Home, and Touchpad button. Then thereās also the L3 and R3 if you decide you need them. But none of them require anything else to be done on the board, you just hook them up and all set. The kit also comes with all the necessary wires.
The only difference from this board and the paradise board is that paradise board has screw terminals instead of harnesses. NO SOLDERING IS REQUIRED ON EITHER BOARD. Paradise board layout also provides a more convenient way of hooking up LEDs with their LED products since you can just mount it on the board as well(which does require soldering). So just go with which one you like better.

I have confirmed with our R&D dept and we have added small capacitors on both of LDOās inputting and outputting
