Datel's Arcade Pro Joystick - Xbox 360/PS3/PC

Very good question. Unless they’re having production issues, legal wranglings could very well be the cause. This should be fun to watch

Laugh, you got enough stock over there?

Sorry to bump this thread but are the Datel and Paewang PCB exactly the same? If not, does anybody have a pic of the Datel PCB?

I hope so too. Ordered 3 of those for 28Euro each with free shipping. :smiley:

This is a very interesting question.

The software they used to detect this is called “Labview”, and it comes with a 30 day free trial! I’ll download it later today and play around with it.

The above quote is obviously marketing lube, but I’ll see how I get on.

If you don’t mind me asking, where from?

Thanks.

Can get them in the UK from here:

ive ordered one from amazon …
if the buttons/stick suck, its still a nice case for 27 :pleased:

It’s a nice multi 7th-gen console (no padhack) PCB for 27?.

does anyone have the dimensions of the pcb? i’m making a compact box that this would just go awesome in - if it’s as tiny as the pictures imply.

Got mine yesterday. You get what you pay for :slight_smile: - it looks and feels cheap. But that would be bitching as the main interest is the PCB for me.

Some features I dislike:

  • The button layout (but that is probably down to personal preference as I have been playing on the Astro City layout)
  • The stock stick + buttons are loud
  • Stick moves very loosely even before you hit the microswitch

Some features I like:

  • Button input seems OK - no lag as far as I can tell. I don’t know which tools or software to use for measuring input delay so this is based on feeling only
  • It works fine on all 3: 360, PS3 and PC

I’m gona mod it today, I’ll post up a short vid when I get back from the shop.

Edit: pixeldotz: unless somebody beats me to it I’ll post up the dimensions

Post pics of the inside please. PCB, Buttons, Joystick. Thanks ^^

Pictures of the stick here, dude:

Buttons are the same as every Mayflash to date, and also the Hori FS2. In short, you’ll hate them if used to Sanwa/Seimitsu.

Joystick is the standard stock you’ll find in any Mayflash or ‘budget’ Hori arcade stick. Again, you’ll probably hate it.

Tempted to stock up on these for custom stick builds…

Yes… as long as they aren’t bricked, 30 is a bargain for both PS3 & 360 compatibility. Put it in a home made stick shell and away you go.

Yes, this is true, I got very annoyed with it real quick, eventhough the input and everything registers perfectly.

For those of you that don’t have a dremel at hand -> low grit sand paper will do fine. I just rolled it up and put it in the 28 mm holes, circle it a few times and check until the OBSF-30 fit nicely.

(sorry for the crap pics, don’t have the SLR at the moment)

I’m putting a Seimitsu LS-55-01 in, so I removed the 4 screw holders and sanded it down:

Edit: here’s a video where you can see and hear the difference between the stock stick+buttons compared to a JLF and OBSF:

It may not work because I keep getting a message about Youtube processing the video or something.

I’ll start the wiring tonight and artwork tonight, I’ll post up once done.

Any difference betweeen this board and that of Paewang stick?

I am looking forward to this… This would be great for my PS3 Mad Catz TE stick…

@Okazaki III nice pics :slight_smile: could you reupload the video?

Hey man sorry for the delay:

This should work now.

As far as modding this stick is concerned, it’s exactly the same like described in Laugh’s thread here:
