this is only for some Win7 PC, and the cause is still unknown…
so i’d suggest you find a Win10 PC
I’m not planning on changing OS, I’ll just unplug the stick when starting the computer. Thanks anyway.
Hi I heard recently that the J2 function for touch pad click got changed to SOCD selection? Does this mean that lose touch pad click all together when you replace the stock TE2+ pcb with brooks universal?
I’d like to know this as well. I was planning on purchasing the Brook touchpad just up until I read this very post when attempting to source some more information on the J2 pinout. I was hoping to use the official Brook touchpad with the UFB (not w/a TE2). Any insight on this?
Touchpad is on J4 and not J2.
No, I believe that’s for the touchpad key/button only (minus Turbo Led, 5+ & ground of course). I’m speaking specifically to the actual touchpad itself. I currently have the J4 header in use with TE1. Now I’m looking to equip an actual touchpad panel to my stick.
Hi All
Brook converter and Fighting board are working well on system V4.74 of #PS4

Any word on if in fact the official Brook touchpad still functions by way of the J2 pinout of the UFB or has the functionality of J2 been modified?
Thanks

Yes, it’s official Brook Touchpad, but it’s only for Brook PS4/3/PC and PS4+Audio fighting board.
So is there no way to get the touchpad to work with the UFB? Or is there perhaps a different touchpad from Brooks that only functions with the UFB?
No.
Yes, though it’s for all of Brook’s current fighting board products, not just the UFB. Check it:

By the way, it’s just “Brook.” Singular. Not plural. Brooks is a running shoe brand.
The existence of multiple Brook pcbs isn’t news to me, but the fact that the official touchpad panel failing to work with only the UFB… is. That’s a real shame. I guess I’m glad I never pulled the trigger on that eBay listing earlier this week. Thanks for the help guys.
I think I says “Brooks” because of yet another B-r-o-o-k brand that is more on my radar than that of the running shoe: Brooks England.
The touchpad is only used as a button in most fighting games as a reset mechanism for training mode. Why is it such a big deal? Wire up a button to “TPKey” and ground for reset function, and call it a day.
The UFB emulates touch functions if needed:
Put in the Brooks Board into my Qanba Q4, only issue is I don’t have a home button which is problematic with a PS4. What do I need to buy to make this work? Any help appreciated
The easy way (not recommended): drill, some wire, quick disconnects, crimp tool and a 24mm button
The not so easy way: soldering iron, solder, and some wire
The not so easy way (alt): crimp tool, JST (PH or XH) pins and connectors, some wire
The easiest way would probably be to plug the ribbon cable back into the green PCB, figure out which wire is for the Home button, then connect the other end of that wire to the Brook board. Also, there’s another thread that is better suited for your question: Absolute Question and Answer Thread v.3 (ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!)
True. Just make sure you trace a ground connection for Home from that board too.
I have been reading through the entire thread and I am unclear of 2 things:
- Has the ability to use PS + OPTION (or START) to update firmware ever been added? (seems to have been planned 2 years ago in this quote from Zippy)
- Can we use PS + TPKEY (instead of SHARE for SELECT) to update firmware?
Would be nice to have OPTION+PS for updating.
Please no. TPKey doesn’t always exist on modded sticks, and only worth when you play on PS4 and with a game which has the TPkey binded.
