Pro Fighting Stick (PS2/PS3/PC)

Tech Talk

I was just searching for windows driver for this joystick and came across this thread.
Would you mind uploading the windows driver for the fighting stick?
I just bought this in hong kong, and it didn’t come with the cd.
I would be going back to san francisco tomorrow, but have no time to go back and ask for the cd.

Thank you !

P.S. just want to let you guys know that this joystick is selling for about 170 HKD = 31 AUD = 22 USD in Hong Kong.
So if you were to spend close to 90 AUD, then why not spend it on an authentic Hori stick.

23

24

How is this stick compared to the Hori EX2?, also does it use the same EX2 parts?

I’ve written a small guide on how to mod the KUNFGU stick. It’s translated from swedish to english through Google though so the result is kinda hilarious but at least you’ll understand something. If not, at least the pictures might be helpful.

Notes:

In my guide I used a Seimitsu LS-32-01 which fits right in. For a Sanwa JLF however, the original shaft is too long so you’ll have to use the shaft from the KUNGFU joystick and then grind down actuator (number 8 in the picture below) a bit so that it fits. Compare the two shafts and you’ll see how much you need to remove.

The PCB did not use common ground, instead it used +3.3/5v as common (which I’ve never seen before) so you can’t use it for a dual mod. I don’t know if this applies to the Pro Fighting Stick as well as I don’t own one.

Thanks Animehead for your review of this stick. I’m considering getting one myself but up until now have not found any reviews of it.

I see from your posts that it took about 5 days to be delivered. Is this right? Did you use the free post option or was it delivered by courier?

It’d be good maybe to get an update on how the stick is working still after a few weeks.

I think if i buy this, i’ll probably mod it sooner or later with some Sanwa parts. I just really like the look of the base and the button layout.

[edit] I was also curious as to whether it is a square/ oct/ circ gate joystick.

27

So what the stick like now that you have modded it? Looking at the picture, the buttons are too close together

28

Judging from here it does appear modable (Sanwa stick and buttons)

The stock itself is relatively cheap. Looks like a viable alternative to HRAP.

29

So, is it shit or not?

30

Looking at the user comments on Youtube vids customers are happy, but this maybe happiness from not using a pad anymore. Play Asia wont tell me if there are Sanwa parts in the stick or what actual parts are used.

Any English reviews out there?

31

Just seen this: http://www.themott.com/node/1784?gclid=CO-oppm7_5kCFYM_3god6UqEFg

Its the first wireless stick Ive seen for the 360, looks just like the Pro stick

32

Saw some at a local store. Tempted to get one just to try it out.

33

I’ll prolly just pick one up and see if it’s good or not.

34

It’s $88 CAD locally so it’s not a heck of a deal if it’s hard to mod. In contrast, a Madcatz SE would be a better deal for a few bucks more, though finding stock in my area may be an issue.

35

I already have a HRAP EX, but I’d like another stick for when a guest comes over, or something to keep on my desk for MAME so I don’t have to tug the damn thing around the house. I might be able to pick this up in Chinatown around here much cheaper. I’ll take a look. If I do get it, I’ll be sure to post pics of the inside.

36

This one seems similar.

Pro Fighting Stick (Kung-Fu Stick)

Hey, i just bought this thing for 75 dollars cdn tax in and i gotta tell ya…its not bad at all. The stick isnt too bad…took it for a crash course in Challenge trials then took it online and its got pretty good accuracy wen u excecutn moves. The buttons are very sensative to the touch in that u can very lightly flick the edges of them and they’ll respond. I opened this thing up afterwards to see how modable it is and this thing is crazy easy, buttons r snap-ons. Gonna swap out the electronics(pcb) and use it in my custm design box, gonna add a Sanwa jlt and some buttons as well. over all…in my opinion…this thing works very well out of the box.

38

Are they quick disconnects or soldered onto the buttons?

39

Also what kind of gate is it. Square, circle or octo. I am also interested in finding out if the buttons are quick disconnect or soldered. Mine is on it way and shipped yesterday.

40

I have the stick for the X-box360 and it works great so far. I would also like to know if it can be modded. I only have one problem with the stick it is kind of light I have to set it on the table and it works better. The button are responsive and the stick does it job.
