Thank you for showcasing the COMBO Extension! Please let us know if you have any questions. More colors will be available in the near future. We'll be selling more at EVO and will be launching pre-order during or right after EVO as well.
Awesome, thanks for the additional info! Yeah, it's a cool concept and I look forward to seeing what other move/gameplay shortcuts people will cook up. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching and weighing in, dude! I like the overall idea and hope community lab monsters can come up with some wild tech using it. I think it also can help a user theorycraft and test some custom "extra button" layouts. Anyway, glad the vid helped clarify the install process. I'd love to hear your thoughts if/when you grab one.
I think that the product is very interesting for people who don't want / cannot drill new holes in their Stick/leverless. The extra button got very popular and useful with SF6 and the shortcut for Parry or Drive Impact.
I’ve gone from stick to all button controllers, but I told myself whenever this product comes out, I’m going back to stick. Only reason why is due to some hands on experience with the hitbox crossup controller. I absolutely loved the extra buttons, especially for super fast inputs for sf6 supers. The one thing that I’m gonna be concerned about is how stiff or loose the extra button is gonna be, because I wouldn’t want my muscle memory messed up for that button moving throughout my gameplay. Also, I won’t have access to fighting boards for a minute, so I’ll have to modify my current controller, in order to have this extra utilization. But still super excited for the product.
How loose it is depends a lot on your enclosure. These both fit well and the button could be turned with some force, but would stay lined up where you left it. Even if you case had slightly larger holes and the extension button was a bit loose, there are still some things you can do to ensure it doesn't move when you get it where you want. Anyway, I hope it works well for you when you get one and thanks for watching!
Thanks! It was originally a joystick Manny Pacquiao B15sdm build in rough shape which I picked up secondhand. I tried to breathe some new life into it and worked with an artist from the PH to give it some Sarimanok flavor. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy this sort of content. Would love a tutorial on how to add additional custom buttons to Brook boards. Like the L3 R3 buttons etc. There's loads of vids showing how to set up the simple brook kits, but nothing that really delves into to actual custom stuff beyond that.
Thanks for the nice comment and for engaging. The good news is that you probably won't need a video. Basically, you can buy an L3/R3/Touchpad harness from about any major arcade stick supplier. Then, you can jack it in where you see me do it in this video. Then, you can hook up those buttons. Most use them on the side as aux functions for training room options, but you can put them on the face/top of your controller like you see here. Then, in game, change the R3 to whatever function you prefer. Hope that helps! focusattack.com/4-pin-l3-r3-touchpad-button-harness-for-brook-universal-fighting-board/
Totally agree! And even if you don't want to use it as a permanent fixture in your stick, it's still pretty good for experimenting with hole placements. Thanks for watching, dude!
I wasn’t entirely sold on this and as someone who doesn’t want to drill any new holes into their lever less controllers, I could see the extra button serving as the drive rush/parry button; like a home made 6gawd add on
Oh yeah, for sure! Good options for people like yourself who don't want to drill new holes, but still would appreciate a better parry placement or whatever. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, your earlier response made me think this might be up your alley (depending on the PCB situation, I suppose). Hopefully you can get one here after Evo if you think it would work for your controller. Thanks for watching, dude!
I almost bought the Hitbox Combo buttons at CEO. They were the perfect mechanical buttons that I was looking for and came in 30mm. I didn’t because they only had white and red buttons available, which was a shame.
What color are you hoping for? They said they had some other color options on the horizon beyond those initial three offerings. Regardless, thanks for watching and engaging with the content! It helps the channel!
Probably too busy working on something cool in Osaka! Hope you've been well and the move has been everything you wanted! (But yeah, these buttons are fun. Definitely worth it if you just want to add a quick button to your stick without any drilling and such)
I didn't have any issue with it spinning in either the old Hit Box nor the custom. It was pretty snug and took some effort to twist around into position. However, I saw a user had reported that it would spin in their etokki Omni, but using blue sticky tack to wedge underneath the button, stopped it. I think they might plan on having something in the kit to help with that in the future, but my experience was fine and I was 2 for 2. Thanks for watching, dude!
Button-hole sizes across arcade controllers have a much larger range than we previously thought when designing our buttons. Some cases the buttons will be very snug, others will be loose. Based on this newer information and feedback from current users, we are currently working on a 'snap-in' item that will keep the buttons snug. Still in early development, but it should allow us to fit more controllers comfortably.
Maybe not at the current price point but the idea is good for upgrading a controller. I have one that I wish had just 1 extra button for fast drive impact and 1+2 in tekken throw break.
Some people criticized this design but I think it's a decent "just plug-in" solution. I mean the option is here. Non-destructive mods might become an interesting branch of FG controller evolution
Yeah, I definitely thought there were more pros than cons. It's a good option for those who won't or who can't drill out their case but still want more options/functions. Infinitely easier to install too. Thanks for watching!
We appreciate your perspective. Trying to provide an option that will be applicable to as many controllers and boards as possible has been a main goal, so we had to develop something that could be a little more modular than easy or premier.
Well, you can get this and then fine-tune the placement since you can rotate it. Then, if you decide you still want to drill, at least you'll be reassured you know the exact/best location for the new button (and then can unload the Extension in a discord server WTS to recoup most of your money). Good luck!
I haven't made leverless or converted one of my arcade sticks into one, this button seems pretty cool . I highly doubt I'll be able to obtain a leverless , a man can dream though 😞
What about one of those entry-level Haute42 ones? I think the S-series line routinely goes on sale for less than $50. Regardless, it's good to see you in the comments! I hope you've been well!
@@HushMySweet1 I have big hands so the larger Haute42 been on my radar but in my situation with income , its pretty much impossible unless I sell some old sticks. That's the hard part because I customized pretty much everyone. I sold my 1st TEround1 that I customized with wood side panels I cut myself with artwork from one of my bands I played for , I sold it for $450 few years back & that was hard to do. Its seems that is what I have to do. It has been awhile my friend, its been going . I just came back from taking my 11yr old son to Magic Mountain for his 1st time for his birthday today. Hope all is well on your end too
Can I connect it directly to my universal brook, that is, the cable that is already there can be stripped and connected directly to the terminals of the brook? Or do I need the blocker, I'm waiting for a button, but I'm not sure if it will arrive with the installation kit?
I wouldn't do anything just yet. I bought another of these buttons at Evo a few days back and it came with an installation kit, so I'm 99% sure yours should also arrive with one. If it doesn't, message back here and we can figure an install out without one.
Yeah, you could do something like that. It would be similar to how I did it for the original Hit Box in this vid. Just place it on a different button to duplicate it.
How badly do you want to save drilling a new hole, lol. Really though, I don't know anything about the future pricing and what it will settle at. Someone at Combo Breaker said they were looking at the 9.99 price point for 24 mm versions, but who's to say. I guess we'll see soon enough when they soft launch at EVO here in a few days! Thanks for watching!
Finding a good price for the CX has been a bit tricky. Part of the reason why we have been comfortable with this pre-sale at events as we wait for finalization of our molds is to get feedback on the pricing. As far as feedback goes, we've seen (potential) customers range their expectation from $9 to $16. We're trying to find a good price point that incorporates the ideas of getting two buttons in one, as well as the additional wiring needed for installation. We don't expect the current price to be our launch price, and we expect the price to change as time goes on as well.
Oh no, I got a rough, secondhand enclosure that was painted with a Filipino flag. So, to breathe some life back into it, I worked with an artist from the Philippines to do some fun Sarimanok theming to help match the existing vibes instead of trying to repurpose everything. Really cool culture though!
Well, when it's all in the button, a user can put it in non-Hit Box enclosures. Then, the market opens up to anyone building customs. And you can twist it to angle the placement of the extra function to go beyond a predrilled layout orientation. I also only had a single button, but you could feasibly hook up several, and a new top panel layout for all that just probably wouldn't be cost effective. Just my guesses. Anyway, thanks for watching and weighing in!
There are strengths to the idea you propose. The reason we took the route we did is for two main reasons: 1 - We wanted to provide a product that would be used by all arcade controller users, including Hit Box customers up to this point. 2 - We wanted to provide an option that would be fairly cheap and easy for most people to do. Eventually, we also learned that having the Extension button where it is, it has allowed pressing two buttons at once with one finger a lot easier. We think this can have some good application.
Came for this wacky button, stayed for that Sarimanok themed ABC.... 🇵🇭 Yeah 16 bucks for a button is Sunmulon territory. If they can make that to like a bit over half, maybe.

lol, yeah that was an old B15SDM shell with a PH flag paint job. Had to bring it back to life, Sarimanok style!

Substantially more than a regular button?Just because they'll have to pack in the wiring kit for extra weight or why do you think that? Hopefully it won't be too bad.

@@HushMySweet1 no, not from that perspective. I live in south east asia. We only have standard buttons available to buy locally. But cutting edge stuff needs to be ordered to and shipped from USA.
@@MichaelHarto We are currently looking at retails options in Asia. While we have some options in mind, what are some online retailers that SEA customers use for buttons/accessories for arcade controllers?
@@HitBoxArcade the only big name i know in SEA is Arcade Stick Indonesia (ASI) the producer of golder lever (victor). We really have no big importers or distributors in SEA. It's frustrating.
I tried to take a lot of the mystery out of the installation process so people wouldn't struggle too long with an install. The button isn't exclusive to more lenient games like SF6 either. You could map it something else to help plink 1 frame links in SF4, then there's KoF tech with it, etc.

@@HushMySweet1 I humbly disagree, I remember when I first seen these buttons on Twitter. A lot of people weren't happy with it, Hitbox already has an advantage over Arcade Stick users like myself and Controller users already. This just make's things easier again for Hitbox users. There's already a faster Shoryuken input on Hitbox along with a Flash Kick input. With Tekken 8 there's already faster wave dashing and EWGF inputs. This button is unnecessary.
@@Trinioutsider34 Oh it may be unnecessary, I was just pointing out that even in the strictest tourneys like the CPT events, that this button would be allowable under their current ruleset (provided the user isn't duplicating an existing face button since there is a rule on not having multiple buttons for the same exact input). So I'm not arguing one way or the other, just saying that as it sits, a user could currently install and bring to Evo or any other major without issue. That said, I think I understand your reluctance. Nothing would stop a user from installing it in a joystick build either, but it would cool to see some lever tech to help wrestle away a bit of the advantage from all-button controllers. Thanks for weighing in!

It's not an entirely bad idea but wouldn't it be easier and more functional to sell top panels with already drilled holes
