PS360+ Dropped input issue

Half-Ro · 2013-07-14T22:29:53.000Z

Has anyone experienced dropped inputs when playing on their ps360+ stick? Lately I have noticed not only in buttons but also in directions I am getting dropped inputs sometimes. Specifically when entering two inputs at the same time (down / forward, lp + mp, etc)? I am going to try to update the firmware and see if it helps but, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar problems.

What firmware are you currently on? Also don’t forget the possibility that you can also flash the firmware to downgrade if necessary.

I was just on 1.3 and 2 seconds ago did the most current, 1.31 Trying it out right now, I love this pcb just wondering if I am going crazy, does this stick need to be rewired, does the firmware have an issue or what lol

Have you considered that the microswitches in the buttons/stick may be going, and not the pcb?

How long have you have your stick? How often do you play on your stick?
As Paper Tiger said it could be the buttons or joystick lever switches failing.

I would check to see if the wires are completely secure in the screw terminals. Doing so fixed my problem of dropped inputs on my PS360+ stick.

I have considered those options, I am going to replace all of my button switches just to be sure and see if I am having the same issue. That will case me to have to rewire as well so, it definitely won’t be a wiring issue after that point.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? Im having the same problem. Im pretty sure its the pcb. Focus attack etc drop sometimes and I just get mk. Blanka hops not coming out. Ive never had this problem before with any other stick. Its really annoying me.

Some PS360+ noted the dropped input issues in the past, but with the current firmware, those problems seem to be completely gone. I also had a previous problem where certain xboxs or laptops would not recognize my stick, but it does now, so clearly the revisions made some pretty important upgrades.

So step 1 would be to upgrade to the latest firmware, after that, I’d start diagnosing either a) your execution, or b) the switches in the sticks and buttons themselves.

I should of been more clear on my last post, I forget not everyone finds the same conclusions as I do.

before you replace your buttons and joystick, test them out on a Multimeter.

and what @eltrouble makes sense too with updating the firmware.

its always better to start with the easy to do, easy to check solutions (confirm the diagnosis) before you jump into complete part repair/replacement

Updated firmware and reinstalled new switches, everything seems to be fine now. My guess it could have been the former, rather than the latter.

Definitely update first and go from there. I am getting another ps350+ soon so i can note if i have any issues then as well.
