Breaking Down the Stick - Hori Real Arcade Pro N (PS4)

Breaking Down the Stick Episode 4: Hori Real Arcade Pro.N (PS4 Version)

I dive deep into the Hori RAP.N and reveal the inner-workings, point out some mod points, and offer my opinions on what you can and should do to upgrade this fight stick. If you are curious about the latency or the more commonly, and improperly used term "lag", I didn't test that. There are a variety of reasons, but the most important is there isn't a widely accepted method of doing it consistently and accurately. There are a couple efforts that will provide empirical data regarding response time of the system and I am following them closely for future episodes and tests.

Without further ado, here are my basic findings and grades:

Basic Modding: A

You can easily change the lever, buttons, and balltop with basic tools. You need a phillips and flat head screw driver and everything after that is easy.

Basic modding is considered: Lever swap, Button Swap

Advanced Modding: A

The single PCB is easy to mod and access to signal points important for adding additional PCBs to the stick are available. Hori really did a great job here with the electronics and leaving a lot of room for activities.

Advanced Modding is considered: Adding pad-hacks, various fighting board upgrades, or LEDs.

Panel swaps: Possible and should be done!
