Brook PS3/PS4 Fight Board PCBA

Write A Review

1. I can't complain.

   So I ordered another Brook Ps3/4 fight board. What can i say this pcb is a god send. When I got the pcb I soldered up all the wires and put it in my stick. I wanted to test everything first before doing the firm ware update. So i go and play some BlazBlueCF, come to find out the pcb was already updated with current firmware. This made me very happy. Mind you updating the firmware is extremely easy. But out of the box? I was a happy man. If you have soldiering skills or know someone that does, buy this pcb. I have another stick with a brook ps3\4 pcb and a ps360+ and that stick feels alot slower witht the input but nothing crazy. The brook ps3/4 board alone has less input lag, just some info for you all. But yeah buy this pcb and be happy peace out guys. Unknown on May 29th 2018

2. Compact and Efficient

   With a little experience soldering this PCB is a breeze to set up. Anytime there is a PS4 update brookaccessory has been very quick to release a firmware update to avoid the 8 minutes disconnect. I'd suggest picking up an IMP 2 if you're dual modding and visit digi-key.com to pick up some 90° pin headers and jumper wires to keep your install nice and neat. I'd strongly recommend a Neutrik USB pass-through with this product as well. Great product, great price. Steve Mormile on Apr 13th 2016

3. The tiny girl who has all the moves

   This board is tiny (like CPU-ish in size.)
   
   The soldering is tricky for beginners but it's manageable once you get the hang of it.
   
   I wouldn't suggest using more that 22 awg wire since i used this size and it was an almost exact fit.
   
   The great part is that this was the definition of plug and play on my PC (windows 10). I'm yet to try it out on PS3/4
   
   Overall i'm very impressed with the performance and massive options this board allows despite it's midget size. There are more buttons supported than my previous PS360+ dave on Mar 24th 2016

4. Works, but a total pain in the ass

   I'm no stranger to soldering. On paper this is the perfect solution for making custom PS4 controllers. I appreciate the full feature support (even the RGB light pinout!) that you can use or ignore depending on what the application is. The HUGE downside is that the vias are tiny, and it was a struggle even getting 26ga wire (from Focus Attack) threaded through them for soldering. It took me way too long to get this all put together and a lot of swearing. I would certainly recommend using 2.54mm spaced headers and pinning your own connectors, instead of soldering direct to the board. gtc on Feb 19th 2016

5. Works perfectly after firmware update.

   Prior to firmware update, it will still lose connection after 8 minutes on PS4, but the update takes only a few seconds and can be done through any USB port. Unknown on Feb 18th 2016

6. Overall great board! Soldering is required.

   For my controller project, I didn't use the LED, Touch Pad, or Turbo outlets so I cannot give my opinion on those functions.
   
   If you are going to purchase a separate USB mount to add to the board be aware that it won't lay on top due to the board's outlets having smaller spacing. Because the board doesn't come with any pre-installed wires or screw-on terminals to connect to the buttons, you are gonna need to solder the wiring from scratch. Since this is a small board you will need a very steady hand and helper hand tools when soldering, otherwise you should pass it off to someone else who can solder PCBs with ease.
   
   Once everything is setup, it is overall a great board that works perfectly on PS3 and PS4. I've played Guilty Gear Xrd on PS4 with it and I never encountered any 8 minute lock outs or delayed inputs from my buttons. If your comfortable with soldering and want to build or mod a controller for PS4 this board is worth the purchase. Tyler Campanelli (PSN: TylerTnC7) on Jan 13th 2016
