my second one was dual modded and they still sent me a PCB. madcatz is very aware of the issue and if you tell them you are comfortable soldering the USB cable to the new PCB…they will just send you a new one.
Well that’s good. I really appreciate the help. I really wanted to dual mod a TE in each direction (PS3 to dual, 360 to dual).
I might be buying one from a member on the forum here on my friend’s dime to try it the other direction using a 360 fightpad. Anyways. Thanks again.
I’m still interested to see what the deal on these new sticks is going to be. I can’t believe we still don’t have any press pictures or anything.
anytime.
atleast we know they will still be the same price as before, so that’s a plus!
some pics but the case looks different
well im getting this one.
Huh, looks pretty much like a TE with art’s plexi on top. Solid.
Im confused… The buttons are different colors then the stick in the preview shot from markman… Looks nice though!
new sticks look amazing. Im defenately getting 1.
At a guess, the markman pics are for 360, the hi-res pics linked above are PS3. This would explain the difference in button colours, but not the difference in case shape…
I think you’re right. Check out the 360 one
Meh. Nothing really special about them.
I dunno… the case in the teaser image still looks different. Check out the side of the stick - in the teaser it’s flat, but in these newly released pics it’s angled like the original TE.
Regardless, those 4 coloured buttons on the 360 version look damn ugly… .
Seems like they really liked what Art did to the original TE’s. But then again, I need to see REAL life pictures of this thing…
the case in the earlier shots is definitely different.
it looks like these websites might have some promo art that was sent out perhaps before the units markman teased about were produced.
really they look just like a photoshop draft, not an actual product photo. I’m guessing markman’s teasers are the real deal.
On the far end in the promo pics you can see a white bevel for some reason.
New artwork for my fightpad would be sweet, hmmm
Looks like all they did was chopped off the sides of a regular TE, threw some art at it, put on a full plexiglass and called a day. Hopefully they Fixed the 360’s PCB issue.
^^ 360 PCB issue? Sorry for the hijack but is there an official issue about the PCB’s that I should know about to maybe get my TE fixed?
The RT/LT will randomly fail, and the only way for it to start working again is to unplug the TE and plug it back into the console. Work around is to swap the LB into the RT spot.
Eventually it gets worse, on mine I’ve had the entire bottom row of buttons go out. I’ve grounded out my top and bottom plate now and haven’t seen the issue in a while.
