Brook PS5+ Fighting Board (PS5/PS4/PS3/PC)

Taiwanese company Brook - designers of the popular family of Super Converters and one of the first manufacturers whose converters managed to gain tentative acceptance by EVO - releases the latest in their line of high-quality, low input lag control PCBs. The PS5 Plus Fighting Board narrows the console compatibility list of the Brook Universal Fighting Board FUSION (PS5, Multi Console) at a cost savings of $50 over the aforementioned PCB.

Playstation 5 Fightstick Compatibility: Important Notes

Brook gives players control of the latest generation Playstation console - the PS5.  It's important to note, however there are some limitations to this compatibility:

• PS5 compatibility is designed specifically for fighting games. It does not support left or right analog stick control.
• Some fighting games that do not have a native designation for Fightsticks may not work 
• If a game is unsupported, the PCB may stop functioning on the game after 8 minutes.

The PS5+ Fighting Board retains many of the connectors and headers that are now part of the Universal Fighting Board.  At $70, it's a more economical price for those looking to to upgrade an older FightStick, or DIY a new one without a heavy investment in the controller.

The inclusion of JST headers instead of pin headers allow you connect our 4-Pin L3/R3/Touchpad Button Harness to this model, along with the PS4+ Fighting Board and Universal Fighting Board.

As now common in the Brook family of PCB boards, you can utilize USB 2.0 B printer cables to connect to the board, such as the 18 Inch Male A-B USB 2.0 Cable which connects to a Neutrik NAUSB-W-B A/B USB Feed-Through, or the 10 Foot Male A-B USB 2.0 Cable.
