@@koala83r72 Looks like that's right. All of the new Hori products have had the Namco Noir layout, so i wonder if they would collaborate with Taito on another VLX. It would be cool if they made a similar product from the Namco Noir cabinet panel like they did with the VLX.
The VLX is a beautiful stick your presentation and set up is so clean. Keep up the great work one of my favorite Stick channels for sure 👍. You have inspired me once again my good sir just got a all black VlX with ezmodd complete. This channel I use for constant reference super underrated!
Great aesthetic to these videos since you actually look like a 1980s TV star. As for the VLX itself, I always wanted one of these but they're expensive and they came out too late last gen to seriously pick one up. I then wanted the PS4 stick, but I'm not a fan of the Hori stick and buttons. I have the Hori RAP.N, and I find the buttons too mushy and sensitive, and the stick too loose. At $400, you kind of want the stick to be right (Sanwa or Seimtsu) out of the box, you don't to have to spend extra mod it. That said, it's been two generations of consoles that I've been pining for these sticks, so of they release a new edition for PS5, I'm just gonna take the plunge and buy it. Great video, man!
hey man love the video, i notice you are using an EZ mod on your diamond VLX, my question is were you able to get turbo working with that setup with the UFB? thanks for any reply it will help me decide if i should update mine with the EZ mod + UFB
0:50 It's close enough to a Vewlix to be sturdy with similar looks and gives an authentic feeling but a real Vewlix cabinet panel has all different construction that's much sturdier and higher quality. They don't share any parts with each other. Still for a controller it's Vewlix enough. If they had sold the actual Vewlix panel as a controller the price would have been 1800-2200$ or a shortened version but with authentic build for like 1400$. If i remember right a real Vewlix replacement panel unit sells for around 2400$.
@Scanline City, Hey man do you know how this compares to the Victrix Pro FS? Everyone seems to be giving rave reviews but it cant be better than vlx can it?
Was testing out the idea of combining 2 vlx to make a 2 player. It is easy to dissemble, recently bent the pins of the touch panel so I had to replace the ribbon, so I took it all apart.
Hail from France ! Love your video ! Like you, I love Arcade Stick because is beautifull and so confortable to play with Arcade Games ! I have some arcade stick but you really have an amazing collection ! Hope you the best.
Whenever you put the EZ Mod in your PS3 VLX, did you run into anything where you have to install it differently vs doing it on the PS4, ie different pinouts? I wanted to install it on a 360 VLX but wasn't sure if it would be compatible with it.
I had someone else ask that same question. I actually have never tried that unfortunatly. I have installed successfully in all PS4 models. There should be someone else here in the comments who was trying to do the same thing. Cant remember if he had success so certainly browse the comments.
Love these vewlix sticks. I have the two PS4 versions. Would love to see a Hori fighting edge yaiba PS4 review/mod if you have that stick. Thinking about getting one and using a Dremel to install a ufb and retro board.
Only negative I'd say is that they're not so great for playing on your lap (without the wooden board you can mount to the base). I don't think that EZ Mod came out for the 360 stick, did it? Still hoping to mod mine with a UFB.
Hi Im new to your Channel! Amazing stuff ! I have question, i have a hori box premium Kuro one and my m. Board Broke. I need a new one where can i fine that ? Thanks un advance for the infos! Ps: sorry for my english I speak french 😊
Hi ScanlineCity, you did not have issue with PS3 HRap VLX with the Jasen's Custom EZMOD ? It was built for the PS4 version Soni was wondering if you had to change the wiring for the PS3 version. Thanks.
Great video. I'm new to Hori sticks and recently bought the Hori Fighting Stick HPS-07 (SLPH-00002) on ebay. I own a PS2 and my goal was to use this stick for everyday gaming (fighting and regular games). After testing, it does not work on a PS2 console and PS2 game that requires dual shock. I still want to find an arcade stick with individual turbo for each button as an everyday PS2 stick that will work on all games to include dual shock. I also don't want to buy a newer stick and the need to buy a converter. Do you know if the Hori Real Arcade Pro 1 or 2 will meet these requirements? Thank you.
@@ScanlineCity just got a call from my modder who solder some of the points. But said it's not compatible. Pin counts not the same. I have the ps3 version. Got it from Paradise Arcade, doesn't say anything but on Arcade Shock it says it only works with the PS3/4 PCB.
@@Lsapito that's strange. I'm 99 percent sure I tested all of mine and they all worked great and did every one the same. It makes me wonder if their was a revision of some sort. I can ask Jasen himself though if you like?
I would leave the chrome, kuro, sanwa and hayabusa parts just the way they are and swap out the ball-tops for bat-tops and swap out the square restrictor plates for octagonal ones.
I used to own the PS3 one. I liked playing on it but personally I didn't think it was the best stick I ever played on, I would have liked more room for your wrists to lay flat, I have bigger hands and I don't like resting it on that slope. The weight can also definitely be an issue, I didn't like playing this on my lap, and carrying it to a tournament or casual session is a huge nuisance vs other controllers unless you liked the stick that much and had a gym bag or something.
Well that's interesting...I think the stick is awesome just like all the RAPV sticks. That said the switch is interesting because I've heard things like Bluetooth being faster (less lag) than plugging into the dock via USB. That's the only thing about the switch that is irritating. But again...the stick is great and probably best option given you can use the faster Bluetooth
@@ScanlineCity Thanks, pal. I just discovered your channel this week, and watched every video. Top quality, very informative. Would love to see some comparisons from you explaining the pros and cons of different components and brands for people looking to mod. Your show looks how I wish my own channel looked too ha!
Anybody else notice the black ps4 stick's metal panel being slightly mis-aligned with the plastic on the front? I've had a couple and they were always mis-aligned. No issues with the ps3 version.
Is it worth getting the vlx diamond for 450usd, or is the more recent vlx Hayabusa more worth it at a price of 250USD? Asking for a friend whose buying online. Both controllers are used copies in good condition.
I would probably go for Hayabusa at 250. The diamond will probably always be the most expensive but honestly it plays just as good as any vlx model. I really like the look of the black and red plus the hayabusa parts are great. Only go with the diamond if you either LOVE the look or REALLY care about it as a collector item. You really cant go wrong with either model so I'd just go with whatever works best for your budget.
Big, heavy, fancy. I don't know if it's necessary to pay 2 times more for the body. RAP 4 Kai uses the same joystick and buttons. Yes, light and plastic, feel cheap. By the way, 4 Kai's lever is a little farther from buttons, isn't it?
It certainly depends on how much it means to you as a collector item. If it's just for play the kai is potentially the best value stick you can get...its awesome. I not sure about the spacing...cant remember
These sticks should straight up be re-released every single console generation. Absolutely legendary stick
I hope they make one for the PS5. The Vewlix Diamond Black is the only Vewlix they haven't released in VLX form.
@@arcadedbeast I think there is another one, Diamond Orange.

I bought a bright red one (RAP V) for the Nintendo Switch! Works with PC too. Mainly use it on PC after modding it
I own all 4 in my collection and I am so happy.
Damn, can't believe I only just now found this channel

Just finished the collection, got all four now.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Glad I'm not alone

holy shit five VLXs...... god damn.
two diamonds.... PogChamp
Now I'm hoping Splitframe will release more carry bags for these VLX's!
Easy subscribe decision. Looking forward to more vids.

Do you know anything about an "Original" Stand for the Hori VLX, I just found one recently.

I wanted to install it on a 360 VLX but wasn't sure if it would be compatible with it.
95 percent is compatible I believe you just have to run one extra wire for the touch pad or something like that
@@ScanlineCity thank your for the response :D
A handsome, sweaty man touching and talking about a bunch of Vewlixes... This channel needs more attention!
Hey scanline, I saw you had an ez mod in the diamond, do you know if that will work with the 360 version as well?

@@ScanlineCity I have a XBox VLX coming I’ll take a look at this soon.
I have the vlx kuro black and i mod the button with sanwa microswitch : the same feeling like sanwa and the kuro style.

would you, do a video of your pvm/bvm monitors and other retro gaming gear?
Absolutely! There are many other series outside of arcade sticks we plan on doing. BVM and PVMs included!
