Wireless game reciever and hori tekken 6 wireless stick

[Nick420]

Hi got this stick a while back on was trying 2 use it with my pc via a official microsoft wireless game reciever.
The stick will only connect 4 a few seconds at a time however an ordinary xbox controller works fine.
Was just wandering if any1 on here had the same issues or knows of a fix for this.
Also if theres any1 on here with stick modding experience i was wandering if it would be possible 2 swap the wireless reciever for one from a regular controller?

Also if someone has modded this stick b4 with sanwa parts, would it be 2 much 2 ask for a list of parts 2 fully mod it? As im not sure what parts 2 order and il probably get something wrong. I have never bought sanwa parts b4. Im handy with a soldering iron so the actual modding is no problem. Just not in the know when it comes 2 which parts are best.

Many thanks in advance

Works fine for me (I bought a loose wireless receiver for PC). Just using the shell is a bad idea if you're gonna put another PCB in it, since it needs A LOT of work (drilling out the button holes to fit SANWA/Seimitsu buttons). And putting a quality stick in it is pretty much work as well, and most won't fit unless you make a shaft hole in the button.

Hey, Thanks for the reply
Nevermind about the wireless thing. I had an old xbox lying around and done this---->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPOmASDnAJA
Now its working perfectly.
Yeah i saw someone else who had managed it on a different forum. So i cant just solder buttons onto the board thats already there? 2 keep the wireless capabilitys like..?

Great you got it working! I did this to mine: http://www.emphatic.se/guwangestick.html

Yes, switching buttons will keep the wireless functionality. You can even remove the PCB for the buttons. It's sole function is to keep production costs low at the HORI factory. For the stick itself, that SANWA gate mod is the easiest you can do to get it MUCH better, but it's still not as good as the sticks I'm used to now (Seimitsu LS-32, SANWA JLF). I can probably try to find the cable/button order for you if you can't make it out from the pictures of the insides. I found most of the info on modding it from the shoryuken forums. There's a thread there somewhere that's dedicated to these sticks.

If you do remove the buttons and drill out the holes as to fit 30 mm buttons (HORI buttons have a notch and the holes in the metal of the stick has tabs that fit them, these are there to keep the HORI buttons from rotating and breaking the solder to the large PCB) you will have to extend the wires that goes from the main PCB (with the wireless 360 tech) to the buttons PCB. If you choose to keep the large PCB and solder wires to it, you'll have to bend the connectors on the new buttons' switch and put wires from those to the PCB, or it will no longer fit inside the case.

I noticed that Seimitsu buttons' plungers will fit inside the HORI button rims, but as soon as the buttons are replaced in the stick, there is some friction that stops them from moving correctly. I didn't put much time into trying to get them working, so if you don't have access to the tools needed to drill out the button holes, you might wanna try to combine those (HORI rim+Seimitsu plunger/microswitch). Or perhaps just using the Seimitsu microswitch might work.

Good man! Thats really helpful! Thanks. Yeah there is a way 2 put a sanwa jlf into it aswell but you need 2 dig out the bottom of the case for clearance lol. And the stick sits too high above the face plate. But yeah gonna give this a go cuz i really want a solid reliable stick. ive been thru 3 lower end horis already lol!
Nice1 mite hit ya up for those schematics in the future

Hey, would it be possible, easier or harder 2 put in an LS-32 instead of a JLF?

Harder. The LS-32 is taller IIRC. An LS-56 might work, but don't quote me on that. I used the JLF gate with an LS-32 spring, because I'm lazy and not skilled enough to pull a full stick switch mod off.

kk cool thanks. Guess il just stick with the JLF so. But the extra height above the faceplate worries me a bit. Could feel awkward....

Try using the HORI shaft.

[Nick420]

Yeah cool il try that. Nice1
