Shuriken Korean V2

Please Note: 

• Compatible ONLY with 0.187in & 0.250in Omron (V, D2RV, & D3V Series) and Gersung (GSM-V) switches. Choose the switch mode with a metal lever actuator.
• Depending on your retail arcade stick, you may need a JLF 5-Pin Extension Harness. The Victrix Pro is an example of a retail stick that has tight wiring and would need an extension when installing a Shuriken Korean.

Korean levers can be a pain to wire up and the end result can look like wire spaghetti, despite best efforts. To clean up this modding process we came up with a solution that integrates all wiring and connections into one simple product. Enter the Shuriken Korean Lever PCB! The following features are:

• A clean solution to wiring up the switches by using a PCB that comes with heavy duty clips. Installing switches to the PCB takes seconds!
• Elegantly breaks out all signals to a 5-pin JST-NH connector.
• Presses down on all switch bodies evenly. This eliminates switch tilt found on some Korean levers and creates a predictable mechanical installation.
• Labels all switches and pins to help understand which wires on the 5-pin JST-NH connector perform which directional action.
• Sports a 2mm thick PCB core for added durability.

The Shuriken Korean Lever PCB was specifically designed for the Gersung GSM-V series and Omron V series that offer 0.187 inch quick disconnect terminals. It is compatible with many Korean levers.

Compatibility List

Note: this is not a comprehensive list

 
The Shuriken Korean Lever PCB will come without the switches installed. The main part that keeps the PCB in place are the screws that are installed on a lever to secure the switches. Follow the steps below for installation procedure. The below installation examples are with a Taeyoung Fanta Lever.

1. Unscrew all switches and remove from the lever body

2. Install switches onto Shuriken Korean Lever PCB. Switch can enter the clip from above or from the side. Make sure it is fully inserted and the holes on the PCB can be seen through the holes of the switch.

3. Place Shuriken Korean Lever PCB onto the lever housing, carefully aligning the pegs through the switch holes. Then re-install all screws.

4. Plug in the 5-pin wiring harness into the pin headed

5. Installation is complete and ready to use!

In the case of 0.187in switches, it is advisable to use a needle nose plier to slightly bend the terminals forward for better contact. This can be demonstrated as below. 

For 0.250in switches, no bending is necessary. When changing 0.250in switches to 0.187in switches, it is advisable to pinch the terminal close to allow for a better electrical connection.

LEVERS

The Shuriken Korean Lever PCB was specifically designed for the Gersung GSM-V series and Omron V, D2RV, & D3V series switches. The PCB also fits a wide range of levers. See list below along with installation notes.
