The Hori PS4 VLX thread

Chikalin · February 21, 2016, 9:05am

I may see about getting one of those 1L8Bs… I just hope I can get the top panel off the Kuro without breaking a bolt again like I did on one of my original 360 VLXs.

I regret buying the Kuro, I did switch the top panel off of it and put it on my OG VLX though so I guess thats a plus for me. lol

Any body knows where i can get the Seimitsu LS-40-01 (North america) ? they are out of stock everywhere. Or the octo gate for Hori VLX.

Thanks

he wants the 01 with the single connector not the quick disconnect for each switch.

Vicko · February 22, 2016, 10:24pm

FA said they are getting more of the hayabusa octo made soon

Vicko · February 22, 2016, 10:25pm

Well, it’s the difference between not getting your stick and using a harness or soldering your wires direct. Same stick tho.

mrtraitor · February 22, 2016, 11:02pm

thanks will check with FA on the octo gate. I can do the soldering but i like cleaner solution.

Check the Trading Outlet, there is a used 40-01 one up for sale right now.

My HRAP.V VLX arrived. Unboxing and some comparisons with the black VLX and actual Vewlix C panel.

The Vewlix C panel has a mirror finish. The HRAP.V has a silver high gloss finish. I noticed that the buttons have a matte finish which I like. These buttons have a press in 2 stages. If you press 40%, which is an extremely light press, it activates. The remaining 60% requires more pressure but does nothing. I like the light pressess, but the hard press below makes it feel uncomfortable. I’ll replace them with red Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons. The stick is very noisy. I’ll replace it with a Sanwa JLF. The panel is somewhat tilted in the middle, as if something is stuck underneath. If I feel the red dots which have the bolts below, I feel that those bolts are flush while the area surrounding the bolts is tilted. Maybe the screw positions didn’t quite match the holes and HORI had to force them to insert. My black VLX’s panel is perfectly flush.

All in all, I’m satisfied with the design. I’ll order red buttons and a red balltop soon.

I agree, the performance and electrically getting a regular LS-40 with a harness adapter is the same as getting a LS-40-01.
I done that in that in the past with a LS-40 I installed into a TE-S.

mR_CaESaR · February 23, 2016, 2:03pm

I was very fortunate… A friend of mine sold me a 360 TE AND a Dual modded original Hori PS3 VLX with Hori bag (dual modded with a 360 PCB) for $AUD 150 (around $USD 110)! I now have a 360 and PS3 VLX that I’ll put Brook UFB’s in over time.

mrtraitor · February 24, 2016, 6:43pm

Ok I am done with this Hori VLX. just cost me another $300 for the RED.
Now I need to build another pedestal.

singlongkuen · February 25, 2016, 4:04am

I replaced the lever with a JLF and the buttons with OBSF’s.

Mine doesn’t work with PC SFV

What sort of keymapping programs or whatever are people running with the best results?

Xavius · February 25, 2016, 12:48pm

@Cicada X360ce is the best option I know of.

Cicada · February 25, 2016, 1:47pm

i’ll try it out – are there any issues with lag or anything with these types of apps?
