Official HORI RAP Premium VLX (VEWLIX) - VX (360); V3 (PS3) - Arcade Stick Thread

[bobalob]

Oh ok. Then who on here is willing to sell their vlx? I prefer 360 but ps3 will do if the price is right

[Judicas]

I’m trying to sell my ps3 vlx at the moment. Sold all my ps3 fighting games and rebrought on xbox 360… just need to get rid of the stick before I can get a new xbox 360 one.

I’m partially inclined to not answer your question for the 12 year old linux users spelling of Microsoft.
360 pcbs are 360 pcbs, you’ll have no issues.

Just be happy that he didn’t write W1nd0wz3.

That’s basically my point.
Vewlix way fits perfectly while the Sega way ask me to “force” on my wrist for fitting.

The Sega layout for player two is actually a lot more comfortable. Just take a look at it on the screen for a minute, feel it out with your hand. It’s the same layout, but it’s rotated a bit. I actually prefer player one’s layout, but I don’t use the last two buttons.

I still rather like the Vewlix one.
But maybe is it because of the way I use my stick?

Could be, it honestly is just a matter of personal preference.

[Braintrash]

Indeed, but I am curious about the technical reasons of this.
Maybe that could be my next research subject.

Ok, received mine this morning:

I just L-O-V-E it.
In fact, I sold all other sticks I had (still a brand new HRAP 1 for PS2 to sell which will soon appear on eBay) because this one is just the best stick ever made; and I tried them all. In fact, the only thing that’s better than it is a Vewlix cabinet.

Coming soon is a Hori bag, even though it can’t also transport a wood plate, which is kind of a disappointment.

I also ordered a Kitty for modding, but already used it for some playing (as pictured) and I was just hooked. Also, I am looking for replacement panels for custom art (for this one, Ithink I will give up plexi for metal panels with vinyl prints), but I think they will soon come to us, so that’s fine. And I might even go for some Sanwa buttons changing, but I am not in an hurry.

For now, just two questions remain:

1. Not a question, but I hope to be able to use it for playing Bayonetta like I used Te sticks for that before.

2. I saw someone with a Spark; knowing I will use a Kitty board, I am curious about what it would need to work. I never bothered with that before, but that stick is so awesome I feel like I need to upgrade myself too.

Since this is my stick I removed the xbox logo and used my own company logo(EliteRC - We Know RC.)
To do this just use an X-acto blade and slowly pry up the clear dome button, its stuck on with clear adhesive so not too hard to remove, you’ll then notice that the xbox logo is applied on like a sticker, remove it then print your own logo and you’ll have your own custom Guide/Home button :wgrin:

I am curious about this button. Is it a part coming from Sanwa?

[Jae_The_One]

i have a vlx that has a ton of deep scratches on the top panel. i don’t know if this is something available but is there a way i can buy a replacement panel.

[Jae_The_One]

VLX Test panel came today. Looks pretty nice except it is 8 buttons at the moment hahaha. Will mount joysticks and do tests next week sometime

would you be willing to see your original red panel?

[Braintrash]

See it for Jae, and sell it to me.

[jdm714]

The VLX is mine, that I let blklightning21 use for prototype and test.
blklightning21 can cut it up and run it over and throw away.
But I am not letting him sell to anyone.

[Braintrash]

Too bad.
BTW, love your avatar.

[NotANoob81]

I just want to let it be known to all who don’t know, the Hori VLX is still the king of consumer arcade sticks. No other manufacturer has put the same level of engineering and quality components into a stick and I don’t think anyone ever will.

That is all.

[Braintrash]

True dat.

[COMMONSENSE]

Where could I find/buy one from any ideas?

I just got a VX SA… Never saw a VLX. How close are they in terms of quality? Only reason I didn’t get a VLX is because I don’t want to carry it around all over the place lol. Its so big. But if you’re saying its that good i might just have to get one…

[Andrex261]

I have one (previously have a TE-S and a RAP V3 SA) and theres no competitor for this stick in therms of quality

[scaleworm]

My fav stick of ALL of my sticks (and I have a butt load of them too).

[BeWrong]

anyone knows the specs and diameters of the case wanted to make one.
