Hi all!
Jaleel here from focusattack.com. My apologies for the lack of updates here. Things have been a little hectic. First, I have a question for the LED modders on the scene, and then a few updates on items and events.
Uila LEDs coming: Need Sparky PWM for testing
Does anyone own a Sparky PWM that includes screw terminals? Due to Canada’s Post Office strike, I’m unable to get one until our specialized version is manufactured. I’d like to further test the Uila brand of pre-wired LEDs that we intend to release in just after mid-July. If you have a spare Sparky PWM and live in the USA, please give me a holler via PM or email and I’ll hook you up.
On that note, let me briefly introduce you to the Uila series, created by the experts at Paradise Arcade. Our LED solution is pre-wired with harnesses, requires no soldering, and currently fits the Seimitsu PS-14-KN screwbutton.

The high-end version of the UIla pushbutton LED series is the Uila-S Flash. It combines the bright RGB and white LEDs into one complete PCB. This allows you to create an almost limitless combination of color and/or white light effects with a compatible controller. We’re hoping that players have fun modifying existing controllers to handle the extra white light as well. Best of all, it’s pre-wired and priced lower than existing RGB-only LEDs. The Uila-S Flash will be available for just $4.25!

The Uila-S is our capable mid-range pushbutton LED, featuring 2 bright Red/Green/Blue LEDs. With the Sparky, FGWidget, or other compatible controller, you can create hundreds of color combinations! Again, it’s pre-wired so no soldering is needed, and priced competitively for just $3.25 at Focusattack.com.

For those who are looking to light up their existing Seimitsu KN series buttons, or don’t want to invest heavily in an LED solution, we have the Uila Budget Pushbutton LED. It features two bright white LEDs. It’s perfect for lighting the translucent-colored Seimitsu PS-14-KN screwbuttons. Best of all, they are super-low priced at just $2.25 each!
PS360+: Still Q3
Currently we have nearly 300 pre-orders and return/replacements for the eagerly anticipated PS360+ multi-console + PC joystick PCB. As a result, we have temporarily halted pre-orders at this time until stock is in hand. Per from Akishop recently stated that there is no change in the manufacturing completion date of Q3, which ranges from July to September. We will post any updates to the pre-order status on Focusattack.com through our Pre-Order status page. We know each of you have waited patiently for the release of this redesigned controller solution, and we humbly thank you for sticking around.
