Nice!!!! It’s the one complaint I have personally with the VCI, the buttons are way too stiff. I’m thinking this doesn’t do too much for your warranty ;) Are you gonna post parts lists and suppliers for those that want to void theirs too?
Keep it up, this is good stuff.
Absolutely- in part 2 I will do a complete break down of how to do it. This was more of a teaser/intro. Its really quite simple. The hard part is getting up the nerve to hack apart the VCI! :-)
that’s awesome!
you’re now so fast that it sounds like crabs!
great :)
It would be great if you could do a step by step guide on how you did the mod.
cheers
That is crazy man, I bought one used for when I’m away from home so I can work on mixes.
You got me seriously thinking, man.
There is now a full step by step video with part list on the site! check it out :-)
You said you used happ arcade buttons sanwa buttons are more sensitive and less clicky sounding assuming they’ll fit in a VCI-100 I’d recommend them over happ buttons. Most arcade gurus say sanwa parts are the best. On a side note a arcade stick could be used for a quite nicely as a X/Y controller and button triggering.
