It’s linked from the essential joystick thread, which is stickied.
Oh, my bad. I totally forgot about that. 
Does anyone know how easily you can replace the buttons on a Japanese Tekken 5 HRAP (not the crappy US stick)? Found a great deal on one but I have no idea how hard it is to replace the buttons. I have some experience with soldering, so if it’s nothing more than that, I’ll be happy.
I’ve never seen the insides of a JPN T5 stick, but it can’t be any harder than the US T5 stick. Just prepare yourself as if you were going to mod a US T5
soldering iron
copper braid/solder sucker
file/dremel for grinding down tabs
22 gauge wire
solder
.110 quick disconnects (not necessary, but recommended for easy replacement of parts in the future)
crimper for quick disconnects
Anyone know where I can find a HRAP 3 layout/template?
I’ve been searching forever, but couldn’t come up with a version 3 layout, jsut HRAP 1/2
HRAP3 layout should be the same as HRAP2.
thank you very much
hi i was thinking
Should i buy a HRAP 2 and install my usb pad pcb to use it with the PC/PS3
or Should i wait for Play Asia to restock the HRAP3 and install a PS1 pcb
I am looking to FINALLY mod my HRAP3 stick with new buttons and a joystick ball top. I’ve been poking around the Akihabarashop and I don’t know what buttons to buy. I’m looking to get something clear so can I use the PS-14-K buttons or should I be using the PS-14-K-N?
I just wanted to clear this up before I place my order…
Thanks in advance…
Well, PS-14-Ks are discontinued, so good luck on getting the color you want. Might be safer to get PS-14-KNs, but if Per can find the color of PS-14-Ks that you want, go for it.
I’m assuming you’re talking about having two pcbs in the case, and I recommend hrap3 w/ third party ps1 pcb—should be cheaper than hrap2 w/ ps3 pad pcb.
Does anyone know what style buttons they are?
EDIT - found the thread
stock HRAP buttons 
Are those obsf 30’s and a jlf-tp-8y-sk? So like HRAP SA/SE?
I’m pretty sure they’re just orange/vermillion hori buttons, there’s a trading post thread with more info on this particular stick and the HRAP3:AV as well.
The t5 mod one needs to be updated, no pics. I’m trying to mod mine now. I just assumed it was like the hrap.
Is there anyone who could create a HRAP2/3 template?
i do have a template with the correct button alignment, but I’m afraid the measurements of the whole top plate aren’t correct (no rounded off edges, missing the turbo cutoff and so on)
I’m willing to pay a fee to anyone for taking their time to create an exact template of the HRAP 2 / 3 layout. Please contact me via email or private message.
I don’t have my HRAP 3 yet, so I can’t do it myself, but I want to finish creating an artwork until the stick arrives.
T5 is fine. There’s a Japanese and a US T5. JPN T5 has Sanwa JLF but Hori buttons. The latter has both a Hori Stick and buttons. All the info is correct.
Edit: Sorry, I thought you meant V4mpiro’s mod. That thread is swimming around these forums somewhere. Check it out.
Where is the ps3 button located on the HRAP 3?
And what buttons are located in the top left corner?
The stick mode, turbo button, and what else?
Autofire, Turbo, Mode, and Home.
