Apparently this is the same technology used on the Nintendo 64.

[@Mrblackgoldfish]

I was planning to install PCB on the New 8bitdo Arcade stick and I also got a connector kit should I use 5 or 6 hole male connecter?

[@LodanZark]

Is there any option like this for seimitsu's ls-32 and ls-56?

[@dazeroastreetfighter]

Its mandatory Brook pcp? I cant use this mod on classick PCB like mad catz TE 2 or similar?

[@fagocol98]

If the pcb has a 5v rail then yes it is compatible

[@pcgaming1268]

do you still have any optical pcb in your stock? i am willing to buy above market value.

[@jaleelbeck168]

I'm afraid not. You may have to look on eBay.

[@snipebp]

If you were still interested, Aliexpress has them.

RIP gamerfinger

[@LodanZark]

Is this allowed in EVO?

[@jaleelbeck168]

There is no policy against it. This device does not attempt to activate any differently than a normal JLF, or program shortcuts that could violate normal operation.

[@LodanZark]

@@jaleelbeck168 thank you for the clarification ;)

[@Mrblackgoldfish]

It's not OTTO DIY friendly.

[@jaleelbeck2413]

Don't use the oversize actuators as the additional size actuator messes with the optics.

[@josea7422]

@@jaleelbeck2413 any idea where can I find ANY optical PCB.? Been looking all over at different places but I've only found one on eBay that says it comes from China and long wait. Nothing in stock or anything in the States.

@@josea7422you will only be able to find them on eBay or aliexpress because gamer fingers went out of business
