Recently hooked up the board in a Qanba Q4 stick and I have most of the connections complete. Used the one with the 2.54 and 2 mm pitch headers. I was just wondering, where in THE world do you find 2 mm pitch housing pieces and the pins that go in them?

Finding them depends on where you live. In North America, places like Digi-Key (my choice), Mouser Electronics, Adafruit, Pololu, and Sparkfun carry the contact pins, connectors and headers.
Check the PDF on the link I shared for individual part numbers. It makes it easier to pinpoint search.
THIS and remapping anything would be the best thing ever, the UFB would be a favorite for arcade cabs owner, just saying.
on my end, I never managed to update the fw while holding buttons, had to open my stick back up, bridge both buttons to GND screw terminal, and it worked perfectly.
Any news on Switch support? Interest from SF2 obviously, but thereâs a bunch of Puyo Puyo Tetris players that would be very interested.
Same. Iâm excited to order and build one with a Universal Board.
looking forward to hearing about brookâs solution for the Nintendo Switch. There are tons of figting games in the eshop already and more on the way.
I play super smash bros for wiiU and other fighting games on a smashbox. Is it possible for me to install this pcb instead to make it so it works on multiple consoles.

Here are some images of the smashbox inside and out.
what im unsure about is, right now for the dpad on the left side, there is a modifier switch that changes it from being regular dpad into modifier keys for the analog joystick. Will that be affected in any way if i change the pcb? Also will the buttons for each direction on c stick,dpad, and analog stick cause any problems since this is essentially a hitbox stick?
iirc UFB wiiU mode is only for pokken 
So I just installed one of these for a friend in his Madcatz VS 360 Stick. Installed the newest firmware and it worked great.
Then later he started to use the stick more then said the 2P and 4k stopped working. I gutted the stick to check what the issue was and it was all soldered fine and nothing was touching each other (Bare in mind it was all hot glued as well) So I thought maybe the hot glue was wrong.
So I removed the hot glue, played 20 mins in training mode and it worked fine. I give it back to him and now he tells me 1P doesnât work.
So at this point I checked again and everything is fine and now i am really confused. Iâm thinking of desoldering and resoldering everything but not sure if thatâll fix the issue.
Edit: I ended up resoldering everything with a cleaner job and it works flawlessly now.
Hmmm⌠I wonder if Switch support via firmware update will happen for the UFB or only for the Wii U-targeted convertersâŚ
Hey. I was looking into getting this board. But is it simple to have led buttons with this board?
Iâm reading that the 3.0 Switch firmware update that was released last night added Pokken controller support to all Switch games. Anybody tried the UFB in Pokken mode on the Switch yet?
Edit: Ok, dug my dock out of the box and hooked it up to the tv. Tested USFII and can confirm that the UFB works system wide, with a few caveats:
-Auto detect doesnât work, and you must manually hold down 1K when you plug it in to force WiiU/Pokken mode.
-Home button doesnât work. I think the Pokken controller doesnât have a home button?
-You may need a Switch controller paired in order to navigate through the menus and connect the UFB. Didnât do extensive testing, but I turned the system on with my joycons, went to the controller menu, then added the UFB controller. Donât know if you could do that without the joycons. Regardless, youâll need another controller to return to the menu and exit a game.
Almost perfect, if only auto detect and the menu/capture buttons worked.
Fucking amazing, I just tried it was USF2, can stop playing on shitty dpad.
You donât need to sync it to the switch with a UFB. Just power on manually, plug in with 1K and youâre off to the races. No home button like mentioned so have a joycon handy. If you lose controls when you start a game your stick is probably connected as player 2 (which will happen if you turn on the switch with a joycon or pro controller).
I was hype but online is still so bad itâs unplayable
Oh yes to UFB Switch compatibility. I wonder if weâll get native support beyond just the pokken controller
maybe when the hori wired controller is released.
Any news on official Switch support for the UFB? The new Switch system firmware also added an option for Switch Pro controllers to communicate over USB when plugged inâŚ
