Write A Review

1. Good first impressions! Missing one small part

   I've had the board for ~24 hours and it has been exactly as I hoped. I've tested it and it's been great on PS3, PS4, Switch, Windows 11, and Linux (Debian 12)
   
   
   Install was almost too easy, but on a first build, I found out it didn't come with any screws for the USB board. At this point, I see FA sells 4-40 machine screws and nuts for $0.25, but it would have been nice if they were included like the are on the Neutrik USB boards.

2. This product is amazing

   The brooks board is easy to setup with no soldering required, which is a huge plus. Logan kilgore on Jul 9th 2020

3. Switch compatible

   got this for a birthday gift and I have to say it works fantastic for the purpose it serves. Once you've gone on to brook's website and gotten the firmware update this controller works with the nintendo switch and even the switch lite if you connect your fightstick too the switch lite through the usb-c port if you have a usb-a to usb-c cable.

4. Great

5. An Excellent PCB. Works on the Switch too!

   At first, I seemed nervous about using this PCB for my new AllFightStick 14 inch case. However, after trying it on, it was definitely well worth the patience and money spent. The buttons responded well with it, the configuration to set it up is pretty simple and the update procedure is awesome. This PCB is something I recommend to someone who has the PS3, PS4, the PC, and the Nintendo Switch and if you don't really plan to have the Xbox One at all. Give it a shot, people. You might like it. :) GAme on Sep 30th 2019

6. Works well

   I'm currently building a custom Hitbox with this board. Thanks to it's J5 connection pins and a few resistors, I was able to set up buttons for the right stick's directional inputs with full hardware SODC.
   
   One issue I have with Brook is that their website refuses to load on any of my PCs, so getting firmware updates for the board is absolutely out of the question. I tweeted them about this and got no reply. Shahar on Aug 10th 2019

8. Made My First Fightstick Build Easy!

   The PCB was the only part of my fightstick project that had me intimidated. There were great reviews for Brook PCB's and when I saw this one came with the Neutrik USB port, I was sold just due to the fact that it made things a breeze to set up a spot to connect the fightstick. While I bought all my internal parts and buttons on FA, I got my shell from tek innovations and you can customize the shell to have a Neutrik port cut into it. The feeling was incredible when I plugged it in and everything worked perfectly! I couldn't be happier with my build. It was such a breeze to install this PCB. I'm building a 2nd fightstick now and using the same board. I got friends that want me to build them sticks now, too. Very happy with this! So much that I'm buying a 2nd one. I don't play fighters on tournament levels, but I love to fire up FightCade for Street Fighter and my setup is now perfect! Kaiju on Oct 9th 2017

9. Spectacular Support

   I'm putting together a Hitbox style controller, and I had some questions about the SOCD functionality. Focus Attack Support responded to my inquiry quickly, and Joey was very patient and helpful while we e-mailed back and forth.
   
   Thanks very much!
   
   Oh yeah, the SOCD support functions normally out of the box, so you won't be accused of being a cheater :) Max on Sep 21st 2017

10. Good product, poor documentation.

    Update from FA: We have informed Brook about the discrepancy with the printed documentation.
    ---
    I bought this board to upgrade my old Qanba Q4 with PS4 capabilities, and installing was a breeze. Granted, I'm pretty handy with electronics to begin with, and I soldered on everything I didn't already have a wiring harness for.
    
    The only complaint I have so far is the incredibly poor documentation. While trying to wire the controller port LEDs, I realized the included insert was incorrect, requiring me to go online for a proper diagram and re-solder to the proper pins. Unknown on Sep 18th 2017
