(Gaming) First PS4 arcade Stick

Seeing how everyone has started to own PS4s and TO considering the switch as the graphics in PS4 are considerably better, I thought it was high time for me to own a PS4 stick. 

Currently, I own a Qanba Q4, Razer Atrox, and also a Hori stick,and..... I thought of getting myself a madcatz TE2, but getting a TE2 in Malaysia is definitely not an easy task, thus I decided to padhack my Guilty Gear Xrd controller that I fraudulently won on a release day mini Tourny.


As I was too excited to mod my stick, I did not took any picture of the controller (lol).


As for the casing, I decided to go with my "Near Dead" Hori stick, as I rarely ever use it due to the buttons and stick feels weird, and keeping the wire is another chore when compered to Q4 and Atrox.


Really? Is torturing your customer to desolder this so fun Hori? T^T

After a while, I finally was able to detach the old PCB from the body (You will not be missed lol)

After that, it's time to wire down the Guilty Gear PCB into the body of the stick.
Note: I'm not very good at organizing Wires.

I swear to god man....I will die if I ever need to rewire this shit.

All done....I even took the liberty to change the buttons and stick while I was at it.

Surprisingly it works.....lol.....

After trying it out a few times, I can't really confirm if there is any lag for this padhack, as I do not own a PS4, and I have only tried PS4 USF4 on a known laggy TV and also Guilty Gear Xrd (Since I'm not that good at GGxrd, I can't really differentiate whether if there's lag), But I don't feel any lag when I use it for USF4 on steam.
