Venom arcade stick PS4/PS3

cheers bro

I’m keen to do this with my HRAP3. Anyone know if it’s possible without soldering?

Where can I download a template for this stick?
Thanks

Just ordered a Venom (normal shipping so $100 even.

Consensus seems to be that the stick itself is fine, but the buttons should be upgraded eventually.

I’m an old guy returning to fighting games after ~ 18 years away. Played mostly in arcades as a kid, so I always was better on stick and I think I’ll enjoy this much more with one.

I’ll post newbie impressions when it arrives in a week or two.

Some Galak-Z art would look cool on this thing…

Earlier in this thread a few contributors had templates

Ok, I’ll Take a look, thanks m8

Does this have touchpad functionality like the HRAP 4 Kai? If not…is that a big deal? Pretty much narrowed it down to these two, but I see comments for the TE2 knocking it for lack of touchpad support, and wondering if the Venom has the same potential issues.

There isn’t any touchpad functionabilty that I am aware of.

Quick question to the group, does the lights indicating rather you are controller 1,2 ect and turbo light up for you guys? I’m thinking that is the root of my disconnect problem as they don’t light up.

Yo. I recently bought a venom fight stick and I was seeking information on how to mod this fight stick since I am relatively new to modding. What buttons and joystick will anyone recommend to me. Where can I find more artwork for the fight stick. Do I have to solder anything ? . and how do the electrical components compare to other fight sticks since I have 0 knowledge about how fight sticks work. I would really appreciate if someone can show and tell me about these things and also send me pictures of their Modded Venom stick :smiley:

Only my turbo light comes on when I hold it and press a button.

@MoeMoeMagic, everything you need is in this thread.

Thanks, going to hook it up to my pc and PS3 see if I have the same problems with the frequent controller disconnects.

My buttons stopped working for a few seconds, but it was my fault cause I got salty and started slamming them instead of pressing them like a normal human being. I hope I didn’t break any electronics :neutral:

  1. It boils down to personal preference. Sanwa parts are the most popular (JLF lever/any of their 30mm buttons), though some prefer Seimitsu or even the new high grade Hori parts (moreso the Hayabusa lever than the Kuro buttons). It’s not my favorite, but I would recommend starting with a Sanwa JLF to get a feel for the ā€œbaselineā€. There are a lot of mods you can do to it to get a feel for what you like.

  2. There is a template linked to somewhere in this thread.

  3. No, though you’ll need to be able to splice and/or crimp if you don’t get the JST cable that’s been mentioned many times in this thread. If you want to keep it plug and play, get that cable and a lever that uses a 5 pin connection (most do, just make sure you get an ā€œ01ā€ variant if you order a Seimitsu lever).

  4. Haven’t seen any complaints about the function of the circuit board.

  5. I don’t have one.

Does this work on PC?

Yes

Cool thanks!

I don’t know shit about electronics, but is it possible to buy a female to male cable, rip out the male connector and slap on a female connector instead? The places where I’ve found a female-female cable have unreasonable shipping costs to Sweden, it’d be cheaper to just buy a hori or mad catz. Thanks.

Try eBay. Worked for me (Swede here as well).

I ordered a pack of these and they worked just fine:

Thanks! That was a whole lot more reasonable.

Just contacted Venom UK, hopefully there is a work around that doesn’t involve me sending the stick all the way back to the UK from the US.
