I’ve watched your video about 3 times and I feel confident about installing this PCB into my 8bitdo arcade stick. I ordered it and am anxiously waiting for it to come!!
Awesome thanks for the guide! I was recently fortune in getting a ton of overtime hours during my birthday month and was able to get some mod stuff for my fightstick including the Brook wireless board. Will be running your video during the build. Once again thanks!
I'm glad you liked the guide! Sounds like you're going to have some modding fun too. Tweet me some pictures when you're finished. I'd love to see your mods.
You answered my question in STEP 4 lol :) so I guess I need to buy the HITBOX cable harness to connect to the 5-pin on the Fighting board cable and then wire the joystick the same way as if I had button there, ground on COM and colored wires on Normally Open and it should work.
Amazing video dude. I had tried making a hitbox/fightstick combo but was completely at a loss. I appreciate how your video is step by step all other manuals or videos just say install the wiring.
It took me a while to find your video which is one of the best instructionals for the ufb boards so thank you for that! I dunno if Brooks knows about your video or not but they should and need to showcase it. I'm just curious if the battery gets charged when you connect the usb to a console or pc. Thanks again for your awesome tutorial!!!❤
Appreciate the video! My kit should be arriving soon and can't wait to try it. Also, funny thing about the Nintendo Switch: the wired input method is so bad that connecting wirelessly actually enhances your latency! I still cannot wrap my head around this. This might the the only console where it happens, too.
It’s because of how the switch handles wired usb connections. It has to go through the usb hub. It adds another level to the the signal it has to go through and drops the polling rate. The truth about the switch is that speed running will have numerous issues due to the latency issues. Wireless simply isn’t good enough. The best wireless devices possible with 1ms polling (impossible on the switch mind you) pull about 6ms. Knowing there is 16ms per frame and 60 frames in a second, the likelihood that your input arrives on the exact frame you intent is quite low. Sad really.
I am looking for something specific, and that is to have some sort of LED indicator to know if my device is sync or not, is this available in this video? I am a beginner with this and am not sure what LED to get and where I might be able to plug it into id the led for turbo is taken. @DrSmoores
If the LED for the turbo is taken you could use an led bulb that has a 5v wire and a ground wire and connect them to those spaces on the screw terminal.
@@DrSmoores last question, I heard that if I use a ps3 battery I dont need to change anything but if i get a li polymer battery 2000mAh from adafruit, that I need to take out the harness and reverse the red and black cable and put back the harness. I want to know if this is true or bro science. And why do we need to reverse. www.adafruit.com/product/2011
wow much easier than I'd think. no soldering required. very nice. thanks for this. definitely going to use this if I ever feel brave enough to mod my stick. just curious, is it absolutely necessary to switch out the wires? I feel like you can just switch the board and install the antenna/port etc and wire those up. I guess I haven't opened up my stick in a while. I'll have to see how easy it is. the reason I'm even entertaining this is for something so vane lol
You could probably just use the wires that are in your stick. Just cut them and screw the threads into the terminal slots on the Brook board. I used the wire brackets they sell because I figured most beginners won’t feel comfortable cutting wires just yet. Custom wiring is actually the next intermediate video lol.
@DrSmoores is the L3,R3,touch cable the same cable I would need to use if I want to use turbo? that is a 4 pin connector on one side 6 wires quick connect on the other?
Thanks! I’m glad you like the videos. I don’t think a wireless would work. For the TES sticks you’d need an EzMod pcb from ArcadeShock and those come with the universal board. You might be able to swap the universal for a wireless, but I’m not sure since I don’t have an EzMod pcb to try. Here’s a link for the EzMod: arcadeshock.com/products/ez-mod-for-te2-brook-universal-fighting-board-w-soldered-connectors-kit
@@madmarv8876 if you want the wireless board you’re going to have to modify a stick. There’s nothing compatible out of the box. Honestly, I’d recommend buying a case and the parts yourself and building a stick. You can buy a great case to build from FocusAttack or Junkfood Arcade and then buy the buttons, wires, stick, and board. The cases from those places are made to work seamlessly with the Brook boards.
How do I use the Brook Fighting cable harness for a joystick that doesn't have the JST connector board? For example I have a pair of IL Lorenzo Eurojoystick that just has the switches on the bottom, no JST 5 -pin connector. Do I just cut the JST connector off and attach those wires with quick disconnect U-clips to the joystick so that everything connects via that 20-pin connector or should I run separate wires for that?
You can use the turbo switch to have a turbo button function which would make the inputs fire quickly like a turbo button on a regular controller. You really don’t need to worry about it.
If you have the 20 pin harness they’re the red, white, and gray wires. If you’re using the screw terminal there’s slots for each of those buttons to insert a wire. .
@@DrSmoores I bought them a few months ago on Ebay and I searched for reviews for the Brook connectors but did haven't got videos on those products.I just found your video Yesterday thank you.
Did Brook ever come out with the 'tournament mode' setting so that you can use a combination of keys when plugging it into a PS4 at a tournament and have it act like a wried controller?
Thank you so much. The wireless does work on PC, but it uses X-input for the wireless function on PC. For PC you just plug in the stick while holding down the second kick button and it will initialize and then you can remove the cord and go wireless.

@@Buff_And_Stuff12 Nice! I would wait for sure. Brook hasn’t said if the wireless board will get the same fix the Universal board is getting. But waiting for a PS5 compatible version is probably best.
@@Buff_And_Stuff12 Brook showed a picture of a fix that’s only being tested for their Universal board. It’s basically a small board that will add on to the existing board and a firmware update. It’s just a temporary fix they said until they start producing PS5 compatible boards. They didn’t say if this add-on board will work with the other ones like the wireless board.
I know this is an older video and I may not get an answer, but do you need the battery even if you're only going to use it wirelessly? I just bought the board and I'm setting it up right now! Thanks!
Yeah, you definitely need the battery. Without a battery you’ll have to keep the stick plugged in to your console/pc. It needs a battery if you want to use it without plugging it in.

@DrSmoores is the L3,R3,touch cable the same cable I would need to use if I want to use turbo? that is a 4 pin connector on one side 6 wires quick connect on the other?
No, the turbo uses a 5-pin connector and the L3/R3 only uses a 4-pin connector.

Very helpful thank you
Hey mate, quick question. Is 1K / 1P the buttons CLOSEST to the joystick?
Thanks :)
Yep.
Hi I bought this wireless board but I am confused what it turbo switch used for
You can use the turbo switch to have a turbo button function which would make the inputs fire quickly like a turbo button on a regular controller. You really don’t need to worry about it.
@@DrSmoores would that be just one button or more
@@aviorlos2448 on a lot of sticks it’s one turbo button you can turn on and off. This would work the same.
@@DrSmoores oh ok so 1 button thank you so much for your help
So,if I to use the TouchPad or Share button wires do I need to use?
If you have the 20 pin harness they’re the red, white, and gray wires. If you’re using the screw terminal there’s slots for each of those buttons to insert a wire. .
For the touchpad you need to use the 4-pin harness and plug it in to the bottom middle white connector house on the board.
@@DrSmoores I bought them a few months ago on Ebay and I searched for reviews for the Brook connectors but did haven't got videos on those products.I just found your video Yesterday thank you.
@@Mrblackgoldfish oh cool. Glad the video helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Did Brook ever come out with the 'tournament mode' setting so that you can use a combination of keys when plugging it into a PS4 at a tournament and have it act like a wried controller?
There was a tournament mode update you could download, but it only disables turbo buttons and macro functions.
Does the wireless feature only work with PS4 & Switch? Or can you play the PC wireless as well? Thanks. Nice video by the way!
Thank you so much. The wireless does work on PC, but it uses X-input for the wireless function on PC. For PC you just plug in the stick while holding down the second kick button and it will initialize and then you can remove the cord and go wireless.

@@GrufferHusky haha gotcha. No problem!
can i use the battery from a old ps4 controller
Yeah, that would probably work.
Does your battery shut off after playing?? Or does it end up draining endlessly?
No, so far I haven’t had that problem. The battery doesn’t drain endlessly.
bro i did everthing in your video and stilll cant get the wirless to work, i tried three different ps3 batteries and still nothing, any suggestion
Hey are you still having trouble with this?
@@LloydJelly well yea. I did manage to get the wireless to connect but after 2 days it disconnected and doesn't pair anymore.
If using an internal ps4 battery does a rocker switch need to be installed on the battery wire to yurn the board off?
