The Hori PS4 VLX thread

[mR_CaESaR]

A couple images of the VLX I received yesterday…

Image links broken

[Saratinous]

Weird. They (along with a personal reference pic of the stock wiring) suddenly all vanished from my imgur account. Here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen again.

[Jannodude]

Yeah, do you just need the cleaner or do you need the whole kit like I made for JannoDude?

The whole kit, please. PM me with an invoice and your PayPal, and I’ll send you the funds. Thanks!

@Jannodude: Just found the category that PAS is hiding all their 24mm silencers under (surprisingly not under “Silencing Pads”, hmmm…).

Normal: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/button-stuff/877-paradise-obsfs-silent-24mm-pushbutton-pad.html

Extra thick: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/button-stuff/897-paradise-obsfs-silent-24mm-pushbutton-thick-pad.html

Looks like all the silencing pads they offer are on this page here: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/569-button-stuff

Thanks Brother! I’m ordering some tonight

So today was a good day!

Shipping notification from Jasen was provided - I should have my VLX panel in a few weeks with the beauty of the artwork from RageousX.

Modded three sticks today (brook UFB on a 360 TE and 2x VLX’s with EZ Mods).

I know @“Jasen Hicks” has requested install pics, so here they are!

What I first started with

Soldered 40+ points on and BOOM! After 5 minutes, I was assembled!

Out with the old! (side note, I had a laugh at the sticker, “warranty void if removed”, um this is SRKTT right? of course it’ll be removed!)

In with the new!

Nice and snug

Installed in the VLX Hayabusa

Installed in the VLX Kuro

Edit:

I forgot to mention that this is by far worth the money and @“Jasen Hicks” has done an awesome job on the ease of installation (hence the name I guess :)). To be honest, if there’s anyone that is thinking of modding their VLX with a UFB, this item is an absolute must and for $24.95 USD, you cannot buy more value for money.

To do a UFB mod will take at least an hour depending on how particular you want to be and on the VLX, I wouldn’t even know where to start with the touchpad ribbon, the amount of time I’d spend researching or finding out pins would easily past 1 hour and I haven’t even gotten the soldering iron out!

This installation took me a mere 10-15 minutes (no joke) and I’ll gladly spend 25USD again for another installation, the level of effort is so minimal, but the time of install is far more value to modders out there. Love it! I’m very tempted by the TE2 EZ Mod (have to get a TE2 first though :))

Edit 2: hopefully the images stay saved this time

[Jasen_Hicks]

Seems you need to make the pictures public

@mR_CaESaR

Can’t see the pics but I can only imagine it looks awesome! I was completely flabbergasted when I saw @RageousX art. Especially for a Hitbox user/player as most custom art are catered/created for/by stick users. If it wasn’t for @“Jasen Hicks” custom panel, I would have probably sold my VLX and picked up an official Hitbox controller again. Now I’m waiting on my silencers and my controller will be 100% complete!

[mR_CaESaR]

Looks like the same thing happened to Saratinous. All images that I had uploaded are no longer in my imgur account

in the process of re-uploading

Edit: and they’re gone again! Wtf is going on? Must be the user

[Jannodude]

I use photobucket.

[Playa_V]

Mine. This is the one with the non functional PCB. I dunno what the issue is. **If any one that has replaced the stock PCB with a Brook UFB is willing to sell the stock PCB, please let me know. **

I replaced the buttons with Gamerfinger crystal buttons and popped in some Razer orange switches, they feel amazing. The clear buttons blend in well with the mirror finish and makes the hexagon shape a lot less annoying to look at, they actually look really nice.

Hmm… Did you try to mod it? Your better off getting the Brooks UFB + EZ Mod.

[Ianskie]

I like the hexagon shape of the buttons…

[Playa_V]

Nope. I havent touched the main board at all. I wanted to keep this one stock (innards wise) since I play exclusively on PS4 at home and own several other sticks that I can use as travel sticks.

I purchased the EZ Mod from Jasen since his shop will be closed for a while, since it looks like i’ll have to go the UFB route but again, i’d rather use the original pcb (even with the most delay of all other pcb’s. I really hate that Teyah thread).

That Teyah thread is not reliable, I wouldn’t put any weight or reliability with it’s results. Trust me, it almost skewed my decsion into purchasing a TE2 but I was reassured by felllow members in this forum. Not worth it!

I only play on PS4 as well.

I’ve been trying to work out what colour OBSF-30 buttons the original Red Vewlix cabinet has… is it Dark Red or the Vermilion colour? I want to replace the Hayabusa’s with Sanwa’s and I’m trying to determine the colour. Photos look like it’s the vermilion colour, but it seems logical that it’s the dark red colour.

TIA

[MaikuB]

i think dark red is safest, whilst some photos suggest its vermillion (eg. http://vewlix.de/cvew2.jpg), it looks orange on focus attack and i’ve ppl say the vermillion buttons look orange in person

[mR_CaESaR]

Lol that’s the reference pic I’m looking at

I do think it’s more vermilion tbh

[Jasen_Hicks]

Problem is… Arcades in Japan will replace buttons willy nilly based on stock, not based on what was original.

[mR_CaESaR]

That’s true. What’s the printout of the hayabusa look @“Jasen Hicks”? More dark red or vermilion?

[Alerhan]

the sanwa red buttons are much more saturated than the side panels. I only have a vermillion balltop to compare with, but that one is closer to the red of the side panels. The vermillion balltop is a bit more toward to orange hue compared to the side panels but it is definitely a close match than the red buttons
