The Razer Arcade Stick Thread!

For share it affects it. Resistance of wire is main thing, more wire means more time for button to send signal, connectors and so forth will really affect it because it’s hopping different materials as well.

Anyone know when these things hit the street. I need a third stick to take my shaft mod and this seems to be the best fit with the case inside.

its already out and has been out for a while.

Here’s hoping toodles comes back to do the documented lag tests and rationale like for the MCC and qanba boards

Does anyone know the estimated ship time from razer? Amazon has it listed as 1-3 months and gamestop says the stick comes out in December. I tried to order one a week ago but their site is garbage and their customer service thus far has been terrible, but I like their products. I got mad and bought a FH case to build but the more I see the Atrox, the more I want one. I just don’t want to wait around for it for a long time.

Everything that I found faults in the beta version is now fixed in the Atrox.

There’s maybe a few nanoseconds in the wiring, but at that point you’re orders of magnitude ahead of the game’s main loop so it’s entirely moot in a vast majority of cases.

Most games probably have a main loop cycling at 60hz, or 16.7ms, or 16,700,000 nanoseconds. A USB cable is rated for no worse than 5 nanoseconds per meter of wire. So if we assume the average wiring in the stick from button to the end of the cable is twice that, 10ns, you’d still need over a thousand miles of wire to reliably push a button into the next frame.

If you don’t push the button presses into the next logic frame, then it doesn’t matter who pushed first, the game will produce an outcome as if both had pressed at the same time.

tl;dr: the difference is in the PCB.

Technically, I was using a similar setup to Toodles, wiring a single button to both boards. Only difference is that he kept score while I simply used the in game life bars.

Lol. I lent my stick to Future (the guy pictured) for that match.

I was behind the stream desk

Can anyone with an atrox take a pic side by side with a TE? want to see a height comparison between the two.

zanardi, thanks for posting those pics. I was also wondering about it’s dimensions compared to the TE. Can you tell me how much it weighs?

Has anyone gotten theirs to work with Steam’s Big Picture mode? Mine wont.

The white stick is Madcatz Tournament Edition.

Atrox dimensions:
Product Weight: 3.32Kg
Product Width: 262mm
Product Length: 380mm
Product Height: 126mm

Good looks on the pics zanardi, now im buying one :slight_smile:

zanardi, you might have just sold me.

Is the PCB mod (Cerberus) dual mod for the production unit’s PCB the same as it was for the Beta unit, or is it different?

What were the changes in the PCB if any?

I’m considering buying this joystick when I have the spare cash…

I didn’t check the exact pinout, but the board is fairly the same. Difference now is there’s an extra pin header for the joystick, all the buttons, and usb.

Hmmm…

I guess I’ll just check out the dual-mod pics with Cerberus again after I get a Razer – that’s IF I get a Razer Atros joystick.

Never done a dual-mod off of a 360-PCB board… Looks simple enough with the Cerberus.
I will definitely have to get a better solder iron, though! The Radio Shack models are crap…

Anyone has already the final version?
