Engage not change, actuator only can hit the octo gate and throw is shorter , need same kind of screw just little longer.
Maybe it can work with Kowal actuator too i never try.
I found this:
Would it work also?
Thanks,

Thatās the same thing Vick referenced above at PAS. The .187 are bigger than Sanwa QDCs which are .110
I used both .187 to 5-pin Conversion Harness from both PAS and Focus Attack.
They both do the exact same thing and perform the same way.
I do found that the 90 degree bend in the 5 pin header of the PAS harness makes it easier to route wire with.
quick question regarding the VLX design. Does anybody else feel that there is not enough wrist/arm support on the VLX? I am comparing it to a Mad Catz TE2 and Hori Edge. I, personally, like to have a little bit more room to rest my wrists while i have the joystick in my hands and buttons at my finger tips. The VLX is awesome, but just gets a bit uncomfortable after a while. I have both the Kuro VLX and the Hayabusa VLX, and I am so tempted to just sell them for a TE2+ and a Panzer. When I am gaming on my PC, my desk goes so far back so that both my entire forearms(incl elbows) can rest on the desk while my hands are on the mouse and keyboard. This is the same concept with how I prefer my fightsticks. Of course this is purely my personal preference, but I just wish the VLX was a little bit wider for more wrist support.
I appreciate any insight as to why certain fightstick layouts are as they are.
I think k the VLX is closer to the Vewlix cabinet design where you donāt have a lot of wrist room.
Hereās my Vewlix cab / hand for reference.
Yeah I agree, the Hori Vewlix is based on the Vewlix arcade cabinet where it gives you just enough room to rest the palm of your hand. This is not so bad for a couple of rounds, but after a while my dangling elbows donāt like it. Sometimes I can sit in a way so that my thighs are directly under my elbows for support, but that isnāt too comfortable for extended periods as well.
It seems to me that since the Vewlix is originally a coin-op cab, there were no intentions for 1 person to be sitting in that position for an extended period of time, as would a gamer at home on their own device.
Itās like, I want to keep both of my VLXs, but if I canāt get comfortable playing on them for hours then is it worth it? Sorry for my Complaining, I just hate when I buy an awesome product only to realize it isnāt practical for me. Maybe I will keep 1 of them so that when I take a trip to Japan, I can get some good practice in on a Vewlix setup to prepare for the Vewlix cabinets.
Iām gonna mess around in Creo and model a Vewlix control panel variant to decrease itās length but increase its width. Kind of like a Vewlix Home version, or Vewlix Tendinitis version lmao.
So Iām officially all excited like a little kid in a candy store ā I placed my order for the Hori VLX Hayabusa this morning from Amazon Japan!
Hopefully in my next pay, I can order the Kuro from Amazon Germany!
Sucks to be in Australia, the shipping costs Iād be paying for the Hayabusa and Kuro could probably net me another VLX
The EZ Mod is also on the way as well as the Brook UFB! Making the VLX a one stop arcade with PS3/PS4/X360/XONE/PC compability
Once I get the Hayabusa and Kuro, itāll be a hunt for the VLX Diamond (maybe when I get my tax return)
a lot of it is preference. i felt the same way, and i actually play with my VLX on a table, so its a little higher up, and a TE2/FE on lap. with the VLX up a little higher, my palm stays resting on the curved part and fingers do all the work (my palms actually sweat way less with the VLX, as theres more air between my palm and the surface of the stick, whereas on the FE my palm is always a sweaty mess because of the hot pocket of air that the flat surface can create.
that said: the standard VLX button positioning is a bit cramped for my hands, so iām working on some art and will be ordering one of Jasenās panels with the Sega P2 layout.
Until I recently got my VLX Hayabusa I used a TE2 as my main stick.
Yeah, I agree, the VLX doesnāt have enough wrist support, not helped by the button layout that requires a quite unnatural turn in the right wrist.
I recently swapped my panel out for Jasenās Sega P2 layout and it feels like a whole new experience. Thereās no going back now. This is my main stick. Itās amazing.
I only wish Iād designed and printed some nice art like Jannodude above - I miss my art - but I was so worried that the panel would go out of stock on Jasenās site!
Jasen, what printing methods and materials do you use for printing on the panel? I might need to look into doing it myself. (Or would I be able to order just the print and apply it myself? Is that feasible do you think?)
I can print you one up. Its not hard to install. Just a little spray bottle with some water/few drops of palmolive. Spray it onto the panel liberally, place the graphic, squeeze out the water using a credit card working center out. Hit me up in a few days with ready art and we can work it out.
Jasen
I also feel there is not enough wrist support on VLX , Iāve only got last gen but I believe they the same sheāll
The og hrapās and TEās are much better for comfort
Iām also with the camp that feels that more wrist support is needed on the VLX.
But the rest of the stick casing is just SO DAMN GORGEOUS, it makes up for it.
I think im in the weirdo camp that actually likes the little amount of space you get with the vlx. I actually like the hrap and vlx cases over the fighting edge and madcatz sticks because theres less room for your wrist :/. They also have this sloping down angle which i find pretty comfortable.
I donāt mind the wrist room on the VLX that much as my palms always are on the slanted metal part but my most comfortable stick is the original Hrap shell(Hrap1/2/3)
The space doesnāt really bother me. Ergonomically, you want your wrist neutral to prevent carpal tunnel or other wrist injuries. When I play on my lap, the stick naturally slants downward. My elbows are slightly larger than 90° and wrists neutral. Everyone is different though!
Iāve got no real problems with the VLX and wrist space at allā¦but the FE is far and away the most comfortable stick out there, imo, in terms of wrist and hand space.
Thanks for the feedback guys, ill give em some more play time in different positions to see if i can find something comfortable. These things are built so well and look soo good that it is difficult for me to part with them even if I dont want to use them haha.
