Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board (PS4 / PS3 / PC / SWITCH)

This superb encoder is compatible with the PS4, PS3, PC (X-input) and Nintendo SWITCH consoles. You can also play PS4 games on the PS5 and it is compatible with the Brook UFB-UP5 PCB.

The previous version of the Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board encoder had a micro USB port and an unconventional pin layout compared to the Brook Universal Fighting Board encoder. This made the process of connecting our joysticks and arcade buttons a bit difficult. The reviews received from both vendors and gamers encouraged Brook Gaming to reconsider the design of this PCB. That is why we recommend this new 2017 version of the Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board. In this new version we can see changes such as a new USB A-B USB 2.0 male connector. A Neutrik NAUSB-W-B NAUSB-W-B A/B USB pass-through and a 10ft A-B USB 2.0 male cable has also been added to connect the pcb breakout (included) directly to our console.

One of the most outstanding features of the Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board encoder is the small breakout board, which supports audio from the PS4 console via a headphone jack (note: only compatible with PS4 audio). A sensational way to add functionality that many current Fightsticks currently lack.

This new version of the Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board encoder, has also added Nintendo Switch support in the latest firmware update. To activate it simply: Press and hold the cross button (1K) + connect the device to the Switch Dock. The firmware of this encoder can be easily updated via the USB connector. It is important to keep an eye out for firmware updates as Brook Gaming usually includes new features with each update, constantly improving their products.

The Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board supports up to 2 analog sticks. It can manage up to 4 LEDs to distinguish controllers 1, 2, 3 and 4 and a LED for the Turbo button power on. The Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board encoder also has a connector (J12) that allows us to map our joystick in DP/LS/RS modes:

DP = D-Pad, LS = Left Stick, RS = Right Stick. Generally it is better to keep it as DP, but some games only accept LS.

To connect our buttons and joysticks we there are screw terminals to facilitate solderless connections and we also have a 20 pin connector compatible with the Brook Fighting Board Cable 20 pin Joystick Harness Joystick Buttons 2.8mm.

This board has SOCD Cleaner. This eliminates Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions, so the controller cannot register multiple directions at the same time. This is an important feature for gamers playing on a HitBox, as they will benefit from this utility. The SOCD cleaner is standard but a second SOCD mode is available via the J15 pin connector. We can use a jumper or single pin switch to activate it. Warning: The second SOCD mode, is not the standard one used in tournaments so it may result in a ban if used.

The firmware of the Brook PS4 + Audio Fighting Board encoder can be updated through the USB connection of the board in a very simple way. It is important to check if updates are available frequently as they add new features and upgrades to our Brook boards.

ATTENTION: Add support for the PS5 console with the Brook UFB-UP5 accessory !!!!
