It sounds significantly less hollow than the standard HRAPs, and slightly more hollow than the MadCatz TE. This type of metal-panel-mounted stick will probably never sound as solid as something like a top-mounted wood custom, since there is so much less control panel material to absorb the sound.

For me it’s not really noticeable, though I usually do notice the hollowness of the standard HRAP when I first start tapping on it.
JDM I totally forgot to answer your request.
It seems its about ~64mm from bottom of the button (beginning of switch) to where the quick disconnect cover ends.
Cool.
Thank you protomanSTi.
Thanks Robo, i figured it would be less hollow than the hrap.
Well, for someone like me who’s a purist in terms of the Japanese style arcade feel, the metal plate sounds closer to what I grew up with in local arcades here (endless rows of Astro, Blast and Versus City cabinets with the occasional Megalo 50/Super Megalo 2).
Makes sense!
awesome d3v! thats really good to know because i too prefer authenticity. i wonder if the metal panel in the v3/vx sa is removable. looking at some of the shots of the insides, there are no screws attaching the panel to the case.
Most likely it’s like the SE where the art covers the screws. That said, can anyone confirm/refute this?
I would like to know this as well
While we’re asking, can somebody confirm that this does not work with PS2 games?
This stick does NOT WORK WITH PS2 GAMES. i bought this stick to replace my HRAP 3 which i play sf 3 with because i hated the buttons, but to my surprise it doesnt work just like sf madcatz sticks.
I’m sure d3v asked that question because he read your Post in the Check Out My New Arcade Stick Thread.
So he wants more people for confirmation.

ok, so the guy has replaced the stock JLF to a LS-32-01 with SS plate.
According to what he said, there’s no problem doing that…
but I’m just not sure about the height…
Has any done this yet?
Nice work O//
amh pretty sure that the screws are covered by the art. can’t check right now, that was not my stick.
I can confirm that the vinyl covers the screws. You can see the screws from the inside, and feel them through the vinyl on top.
Haven’t removed mine yet, or seen anyone else do it. But I plan on making some new vinyl…
Someone needs to take measurements of the art piece so we can make a custom art template for it.
yup, +1
Noob question and I don’t feel like going through the 10 pages (yes I’m lazy) but if I order that thing is it compatible on US consoles? Thanks
Edit: and also Japanese stick works on US 360? I’m tired of having Mad Crapz sticks so yeah…
im assuming that is the same question, lol. but the answer is yes.
