About the Venom, its a mayflash without marcos for ps4.
Here is some more info for the main post. I own the stick so I can confirm all of these facts with photos if need be.
Panels
Top and bottom metal panels
Plexi/Art
Magnetic plexi, pop-able though a small hole in the metal top panel located above the cord compartment
= Non sticky art, making for an easy swap, but it can shift a bit
Bottom Padding
= bottom padding, no feet
PCB
= PS3/PS4 compatible
= features an extra 5pin male connection used to connect PCB type joysticks, such as a JLF
Wiring
= clean wiring, pretty standard
Joystick
Non arcade parts, parts are sanwa clones. The buttons are very high tension, but the stick is still pretty useable. Feels like a mix of a JLF and a LS-56/58
= Stick is connected to PCB by wires soldered to the individual microswitches, could mean easier connection of other non PCB joysticks (such as the crown
= Uses the same mounting holes as a Qanba Q1, meaning that it accepts JLF mounting plates and LS-32/40 can be mounted onto the panel directly
I was referring to the VLX, whats tick you were talking about? The Silent?
Unless you really want the silent Hayabusa, maybe get a regular non-silent Real Pro V Hayabusa and just mod it to be silent?

-Added Madcatz ALPHA stick
There’s still a lot of variables I need help answering. Specifically stuff from the Venom stick, the Hori BlazBlue stick, and the Hori VLX stick. A lot of these questions could be answered by me going through those individual topics, but that’s a long process. If anyone can help sort thru the info please let me know.
[list]
[] Metal panels top+bottom.
[] Has plexi.
[] Bottom uses rubber padding (1-5mm thick) at corners, no feet.
[] Joystick + buttons are Chinese OEM. Buttons are garbage, stick is playable. Will try to find microswitch info.
[] Wiring: QDs for all action buttons. Soldered 8 wires for stick.
[] Mounting plate, can probably take JLF-TP series etc (will test).

Thanks. Added info. I’ll be reading up on the Venom topic and updating stuff that isn’t covered. Whatever I can’t figure out i’ll ask those in the Venom topic.
EDIT- Reviewed Venom topic and updated information as I saw it. Also pulled a few photos I’ll credit the photographer on and upload on main post soon.
EDIT2 - Added link to @sinetwo 's newbie Venom guide
I’ve got some stuff to add to the Venom Arcade Stick, assuming it uses the same parts as the Mayflash V2:
=Stock buttons are Sanwa shaped, but actually use a Seimitsu PS14-G clone microswitch. It has a very similar feel, the same QD placement, and the same thin microswitch plunger as Seimitsu.
=Home and Start button are reversed from most other sticks on the Venom. The 24mm button is Home, and it uses a small rubber dome button for Start. (This is not the case on the Mayflash V2).
Thanks for the input on the buttons. I noticed the Sanwa shape and Seimitsu like microswitch in the comparison photos posted in the Venom thread and pulled those photos to eventually put up on the main post.
I left out the part regarding Home and Start being swapped from the Mayflash, as that’s irrelevant to PS4/PS3 sticks since the Mayflash v2 doesn’t do a PS4 stick so there’s no reason to compare.

I’m glad you posted here, because I had completely forgotten about this stick so thanks for the heads up. The Tech Talk thread this stick has has limited information, but I pulled what was there and updated the original post with that information.
That thread is here: The ebten GG Xrd stick
Shoutouts to @ennui who cracked his open in that thread and gave us the bit of information we do have on it.
Looks like there’s a new Hori RAP V stick subtitled Hayabusa with the new Hori Hayabusa buttons instead of the Kuro buttons. Can anyone translate and tell me if there’s any other differences from the existing RAP V Hayabusa joystick that was released? If you need to compare, check out the 1st post in this thread.
Not a translation, but there are two new features. The Hayabusa buttons are matte, a first time ever for buttons. And you know those right side buttons (options, share, home, L3, R3, and the switches)? The face of the stick now has labels indicating what button is where on the side. A nice touch so you don’t have to guess or memorize where the buttons are.
Thanks. I will add it to the main list in the next few days.
Yeah I mentioned I saw the new buttons and that will be added on the list but I don’t think the label change is really anything that’s a bonus “feature”. I agree it is a nice touch and quite convenient, but every new stick has a new label.
I don’t see any changes to the case itself or where the buttons are placed. Time will tell if it’s the same PCB.
I don’t see how having a feature that games already use isn’t something to be concerned about. With that being said I also don’t see why someone wouldn’t at least want the 7th and 8th buttons on the stick somewhere (even if not a part of the playable layout, like on that tiny MadCatz stick that’s coming out) for use in game menus.
When do you really need the touch pad for a fighting game?
And no real fighter needs 8 buttons (will there PlayStation All-Stars, but who still plays that).
