It really depends where your dexterity skills are developed and how can you conceptualized your hand-eye movements for game play.
Someone who plays guitar or Piano or is a typist could prefer the All-button layout of a controller like the Hit box.
Some one who grew up with the arcades, drive a stick shift or have skills/tasks that use larger arm movements would be more likely to better off with a stick.
Conceptualizing or making a mental image how your directional movements would work would be key until you have the actions down as muscle memory.
Havenāt and not going to read through the whole thread anytime soon.
What is the best way to do a true 360 motionā¦ 1,2,3,6,9,8,7,6 on the hitbox? Going to have one soon and this seems like itās going to be the most challenging motion for me. Looking forward to experimenting with a hitbox! Thanks!
Any old USB A Male to B Male cable will do. Steal somebodyās printer cable or just go buy one, I suppose.
You need a 2mm hex key/Allen wrench to open up the center screws on the back. Twist off the rubber feet and open her up.
Take a hairdryer or heat gun and heat up the glue on the connection, then remove it with aā¦ razor blade, or a paper towel orā¦ something, I donāt know. Take out and throw away the old cable, keep the velcro strap because itās very convenient, and put in the new cable.
(The connection is not very snug, the board makers at akishop should look into this maybe?)
You can tie a knot for stress relief and/or glue the new cable back in, Iā¦ didnāt do either of these things 'cause I didnāt want things to be permanent in case I had to do it againā¦ Tension on the cable looked like it wasnāt going anywhere anyway for me.
Plug it in, test it out, then close it back up.
I replaced the hex key screws with thumbscrews so I could switch out abroad if I need to. They are #6-32 threads.
I and others have had the same issue with these cables. Also Iād recommend switching to something under 15 feet since cables that long may cause issues in the future.
After a few months hitbox feels like its starting to work with me instead of against me (with single quarter circles at least)
Also no tendonitis as of yet!
I was wondering, if I took off the plexi, is the art a piece of paper I can just take out and replace? And if I took the paper and plexi off, would I have just that nice black matte painted metal like the bottom of the hitbox?
Now that I know Iām going to be sticking with this controller I think I might wanna but some custom anime babe art or some such shit on it.
Although Iāve retired from competition, I occasionally use it on the PC. Can you make a list of forced console mode selects for the Akishop PS360+ model so you can bypass the console auto-detection?
Hi, looking to possibly order a hitbox and had a question. The FAQ says āIt is unconfirmed if current Hit Boxes will function on PlayStation 4ā.
PS4 been out for a while now, surely somebody mustāve confirmed whether it works or not by now? If not, will there be an upgraded PCB that one could buy to make it work on PS4? I donāt want to spend all this money when it wonāt work on current consoles if I upgrade.
Hit Box uses the PS360+ for multiconsole, which if you check Akishopās website will tell you that PS4 on the latest beta firmware works for 8 minutes at a time. That is of course undesirable, unfortunately current situations are such that there is no commercially available PCB that works on the PS4 completely. New console production is at a stand still until a PCB for the console exists.
The What Stick Should I Buy thread mentioned that the PCBs in the Hitbox are glued down rather well, as well as covered in hot glue. Is this still the case? Whatās the reasoning behind this?
The original metal cut you guys sent me tragically had a 4 inch wide dollop of contact cement, immortalizing the Cthulu it shipped with. Sitting in a box somewhere right now, though I could probably separate the thing if I really wanted toā¦ Haha.
Hey guys, I placed an order through your website on Sunday evening (12/7). I then sent an e-mail last night requesting white buttons (for the four movement buttons) and red buttons (for the eight action buttons). Iām not sure if it was already too late to make this request or not so please let me know! If so, that is fine! Iād totally understand. Thank you.
Iām really looking forward to receiving my Hit Box. I am planning on using it for Tekkenā¦ so hopefully it isnāt too difficult for this fighting series!
