To be fair, a button shouldn’t really need breaking in. Yo that picture though. I instantly knew it was Giby because of the Dodgers hat.
The kuros on my FE aren’t so bad though they did squeak quite a bit at first. I’m probably going to put some Sanwas in there though.
Uhhh…??? How did you get one so soon?
Nvm…apparently a pic from Arcadeshock
I asked Giby if the Kuro VLX would have padding at the bottom like how the HRAP 4 Kai has. He responded that the Kuro VLX prototype does have the padding, and that it’s very likely that it’ll remain on the final product. wktk
I’m immediately swapping out the Kuros for Sanwas when I get mine. I can’t stand the kuros and their squeaking.
Hi everyone I took the plunge on one of these too having canceled my Kai preorder. I also own a TE round 1 and a hrap v4 and actually don’t really think there’s that much in the buttons… at least now I’ve broken the hrap in, I don’t really have a preference button-wise. I generally now use the hrap more as the shape is a better fit for my hands.
/Edit by shape I mean the rest makes a huge difference for me and keeps my rsi (from a hand injury not old age…yet) at bay!
Anyway in other news those bags are in! (see splitframe.net) however the shipping to the UK doubles the value as even the cheapest option is $65… 
Any options/ideas/kind souls on this front? You can buy 2 bags per VLX order.
Is it sad I am already ordering parts for this?
A must need for neutrik usb pass though, replacement USB type A connectors.
As well as a new USB cable from Monoprice.
Arcadeshock just posted on their Facebook page they’re down to 59 units left.
Cutting the USB at the PCB and putting that USB type A connector on it to connect to the the Neutrik?
Well I not be cutting the USB cable off the PCB, just cutting the cord shorter.
The cord at the PCB will still be there, it just not reach all the way out of the case.
I also have less of a chance screwing up if the PCB is left alone.
Less than that now.
I just bit the bullet on a few :s
Yeah I even cancelled my preorders for the TE2 and Hori Kai v4 just to preorder this.

Sorry for the repost please delete viewing from my phone.
I’ve got a lever and buttons waiting here for it already (and the bag ordered from Splitframe)! I like the idea of a pass through, but have never fitted one. I assume the hardest part is drilling the hole?
What replacement buttons are you guys planning on using? I can’t find much on the HBFS-30-G2’s unfortunately.
I’ve never used the Hayabusa & Kuro buttons so if I’m not feeling them then I have a set of silent Sanwa OBSCS-30 buttons waiting to be installed. Those were suppose to go in a Voltech VAS-22 but never got around to finishing that project. Might try a silent Hayabusa if I can ever find one. If not then the 2nd gen. silent Sanwa JLF but I’ve heard more good things about the Hayabusa compared to the Kuro’s.
is this stick compatible with pc too?
Putting in an LS-40 for the stick and Sanwa RG’s for buttons. Going with Sanwa Dark Blue color scheme.
both the PS3 and PS4 modes should work on PC, you can choose ether mode on the PC and it work just fine.
I just tried my Hrap V4, and it works on both modes.
awesome, thanks for the info! ^-^
