Anyone have impressions of these new buttons yet?
Nope, got it no problems. 6 Button Panels should go into production Monday. I have confirmation of the 8 button panels being made up. Art is a DIY affair, but I know @d3v has some done up for others as well as @hibachifinal.
Also, it looks like ArcadeShock is importing some of the new Falcon VLX sticksā¦

Was waiting on AS to officially announce it so already cancelled my pre-order at Play-Asia since Iād rather support a vendor in the states.
I wish there were a way to replace the colors of the sides.
I was going to suggest Krylon Fusion, because of the great success I had turning green to black on a TES+, but that would ruin the collectors / resale aspect of the VLX. Then I realized, why paint when a DIY vinyl wrap would be sufficient and not too expensive.
Krylon Fusion is terrible paint for painting plastics.
I like Plastidip. The best thing about it is that it peels off clean. You could easily return it to stock condition.
Iāve seen some gloss wrap jobs that I couldnāt tell were wraps. If I canāt buy replacement endcaps, Iāll probably do a wrap.
Anyone else getting a 404 page when trying to load the page to try and preorder the new Hayabusa on arcade shock? I guessing they ran out of preorders?
I came here looking for the link after not being able to find the stick on their site. I agree with your guess, that their allotment has all been purchased.
Looks like I will need to place a preorder through playasia then
I have it on good authority that ordering will be available from AS on launch day, mid February.
I emailed Arcadeshock directly. They said the VLX is still available & will be LIVE again (on their site) on Feb. 18th. If you want to pre-order ahead of time, you can email them directly on their contact page.
Could I throw a ps360+ in this thing to get 360 support? I am wondering how itās possible to do that and still have ps4 support without having to open the case again.
Or is there a better option?
Edit: Nevermind, I see itās possible.
Here;s a sweet update! A number of ānon-artworkā panels will ship tomorrow (you should have emails with the tracking already), and a number will get art applied tomorrow as well. Check this out:

6 Button panels are underway as well. Fingers crossed that they will be here by the beginning of next week.
Artwork submissions need to be sent in as well. I am missing a few! @d3v has made some up that he is allowing me to provide as an add-on cost for the commission fees. They include a number of cool designs focused around classic japanese candy cabs and look great. Once I get settled in from the weekend out I will make them available. If you submitted artwork already, sorry folks but thatās locked in and likely printed already.
I see two of those are stuff people paid me to do.
@āJasen Hicksā Can the 6 button still be order or will you have extras variable in like a months time? Or possibly a second run around then?
I am getting a couple extra made beyond the initial orders. So there is one or two left in the shop right now.
