The Hori PS4 VLX thread

Probably not.

I seen people pad the inside of the buttons with silencer pads.
The VLX is going to have that effect as its a hollow metal and plastic box.

Throw some half inch acoustic foam on the inside and it will sound solid. Use this method for both of my Panzers.

Does hori still have some available?

This late into the game? Arcadeshock is already sold out and is possible Hori USA is also sold out.

If you going to get a VLX, you have to do it now. The longer you wait the more unlikely you are going to get the stick.

My order status : Awaiting Fulfillment from Hori
I have no choice and wait to hopefully get it.
I just wish Horis site would announce ā€œsold outā€ right away if they actually ran out.

You know, I was having a random thought the other day. Right now, I can’t bust out my OG or my Diamond, so I’m left wondering how hard it is to remove the side caps on the VLX. The thought in mind was to swap out the black side caps and black art panel of the Kuro with the OG ones and effectively make a PS3/4 compatible red VLX with a touch pad. Assuming nothing has drastically changed between the models, it should be a pretty easy swap. I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone removing the side caps on a VLX before, though, but it can’t be much harder than doing it on a TE.

The top panel should be removable

I bet the top panel is going to look great in person, in pics it looks brown/dark grey/silver

Is the paint already chipping in that pic? hahaha

I don’t see it.

Every picture I’ve seen has had those indents on the front of the stick. I assume that’s from the injection mold, or however they make that front piece, but still somewhat disappointing since it’s a $300 stick.

That part is metal. Maybe there a welding joint there.

I do believe it is!

Could be something else. Could be the light. Could just be a demo unit they’re carrying around a lot and not taking very good care of.

I wish they’d come out with more colors for the kuros. They’ve grown on me a lot.

translucent blue or smoke kuros (a la ps-14-kn) would be hot.

Looks to me like some lint or dirt

That table isn’t the cleanest in that picture. That Stick looks like Arcade Shock’s demo model of the new VLX.
See the new VLX sized bag behind it.

They are probability showing it off at some tournament or trade show and just some dirt or something that gotten on the stick.
