You buy the converter for the convenience and easier install
You Pad hack/dual-mod for reliability (assuming the workmanship of the mod is up to snuff)
Both options have their pros and cons.
both are easy to wire up, brook releases updates if they get patched out some how, but reliability is there with both of themā¦ the fc4 pad hack is a piece of cake and the brook pcb is really straight forward and saves a lot of space since its less than 2 sq inches
The converter and the brook PCB will both have the same update-breaking issue if and when any system update breaks compatibility. They were able to update both pieces in 48 hours so it will be temporary.
Hi guys, I came across this new revision of the Fighting Commander thatās much cheaper (at $30) than the FC4. Does anyone plan to buy and try its PCB soon? Iām building my first stick and hoping to find an easy and cheap PS4 PCB. Right now the Brook fightboard seems like the way to go but this FC is even cheaper.
the brook is a much better option for $10 more, you get the option of having a touchpad button as well as autodetect for ps3/4. Plus, no scraping or whatever.
Has anyone posted the mkx ps4 pcb contacts guide by chance?
Third post lol
Lol thatās what i get for skimming, some reason I thought that was part of the gg pcb.
I also have a xb1 te2 I picked up from the flash sale on Amazon two weeks ago.
The crossbone is on order currently.
What do the early reviews on the Brooks pcb look like?
Iāve heard a lot of people mention it but havenāt had a chance to look into it in much detail yet.
Also since Iām asking, does anyone on the board do any 3d printed replacement parts?
Specifically looking to replace some chewed up parts for a few suzo inductiveās I have.
I love the joysticks, smooth as anything Iāve ever used but the shafts and what essentially acts as a guard/spacer/semi acuator get chewed to Hell.
Brook pcb is awesome. Pretty much the best ps4 pcb option now. Only negative aspect to it is the potential of a ps4 firmware update causing issues. However, Brook has been very fast at getting a fixed firmware for the pcb out.
I have a 3d printer, but it has given me so many issues that I most likely wouldnāt be able to get anything useful printed out.
Here is more things about BROOK PS3/PS4 Fighting Board
Itās ready on.stock in Paradise/Focus Attack/VideoGames/Akishop/ArcadeStickā¦more shop

How about pcb from Hori Fighting Stick Mini for PlayStation 4? Is it common ground and does it support socd?
I have heard from a good authority on the subject that Hori Fighting Stick Mini is common ground.
SOCD? For most retail sticks and controllers, like out of a Hori or mad Catz product the board is never SOCD compliant.
SOCD was not an issue till someone just have to use a Hit Box with the vanilla Marvel vs Capcom 3, its more a flaw with the game than anything else.
A Single joystick (example a Sanwa JLF) on its own canāt take advantage of SOCD, a stick/controller with an additional left or right inputs can take advantage of the flaw, as well as any standard game pad with both a d-pad and analog sticks (I.E. the standard Dual Shock 3, Standard MS Xbox 360 game pad, ectā¦)
A Typical arcade stick controller does not need SOCD filltering as in its stock form, it canāt take advantage of it. The same can be said for digital game pads such as a SNES game pad and most fight pads.
There games that need the opposing directionals working for the game and SOCD filtering would break such as DDR, Pop Nā Music ectā¦
I made custom hitbox and i need pcb for ps4 with socd. I will go with brook then.
Other alternatives include get a separate SOCD board or build your own SOCD circuit.
There is a guide somewhere on the forums that show how to make a SOCD filtering circuit with off the shelf parts.
It work with any Common ground board. The advantages is itās hardware driven instead of a software (hardware driven is more solid) and you can choose your priority as you are building the circuit.
The thread on that
The other advantage is it does not matter what the Controller PCB or the converter can or can not do as there a hardware filter preventing this at the source of the input.
http://godlikecontrols.com/ has socd cleaners and are really easy to wire up with any other pcb.
nvm just saw they were out of stock
