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

Stick to the essentials, i.e. hawt arcade stick.

can anyone tell if the xbox versionā€™s pcb is common ground? or do you have to look inside to know. thanks!

might have been worth it if it were a 2p CP! :smiley:

thatā€™s a lotta money :o

Actually, for this price you could probably get the real 2p Vewlix panel which comes with the JLF and buttons, get 2 pcbs and build the box yourself. It wouldnt be exact but the panel would would the real deal. With so many vewlix designs out there I have thought of doing that myself.

post up a link for a 2p panel that cheap please.

akihabarashop has it for like **29,290. Im saying if you are nearing over $400 than for that money you can get the real 2P panel. **

i think the stick looks great, the price not so much, im not sure why it needs to be so wide im guessing to give the impression of a real vewlix panel, this thing is 570mm wide so anyone attempting a custom vewlix cab this would be way too short, i cant see this being any better than the allready overpriced t.e! remember when that came out everyone thought that was expensive! now if they brought out an actual vewlix replica, dimensions, swappable panels etc that would be the deal breaker! i would love one of these for my vewlix build if it were 800mm wide, now the price is crazy overpriced i cant see how they can justify it, mainly relying on sf4s popularity and the concept of someone wanting an actual vewlix replica! marketing at its best! im sure the product is great but hori must think we are all mindless idiots craving for the next vewlix style product whatever the cost!,(ha which i know i am one of them)
But i must admit its hot,its sexy, i want one maybe two but come on! the most i would pay for one of these would be 200 delivered not because its a great product but for the fact its just like the real sf4 cab!

maybe if you could remove one of the white sides and lock two together!!! now that would tha shit! and i would put them on my credit card immediately!, if anyone from horis listeningā€¦

want so badā€¦

wow, such a clean stick!!!

I soooooooo want one, but iā€™m not really up for paying $AUD 400+ on a joystick and then hack it up straight away for a dual mod.

Three dual modded TEā€™s is plenty sufficient and this stick wonā€™t make my reactions and execution and gameplay any better then the already awesome TE :smiley:

I will most likely pass

the VLX is a nice stick but for $400 (or close to it), there are a couple of sticks i could add to my collection that i have been looking for. now if they wised up and started just selling the shell/case, i would drop some coin on that =)

Hmm, just noticed the panel art is not an exact replica. Look at the circle around the joystick, its missing the 4 ā€œmoonā€ circles that are on the original.

can anyone tell me if this will make it more difficult/easier/impossible to dual mod this stick by looking at the above pictures of the PCB housing?

Iā€™m getting the xbox version and would like to dual mod for ps3. Any insight is appreciated. All pics courtesy of Hori developerā€™s blog.

god when the hell are preorders going to go upā€¦

Itā€™s hard to tell the difficulty of dual modding the Hori VLX without actual pictures of the PCB withing the housing itself. Although it doesnā€™t seem to be too difficult, prolly just like any other hori PCB.

u might have to open the boxed housing the board is in, no?

Yeah that makes sense, looking at the pic I see screws and shit

Wow, no scotch tape PCB-mounting in this modelā€¦ nice.

Probably because the thing is meant to be opened from the top with very little screw work needed.

One thing though, am I the only one who hates how messy HORIā€™s wiring harness for the joystick is?

Whatā€™s messy about it?
