Nagano, Japan, December 24th, 2025, GamingWire
The only converter officially approved for use at EVO – the world’s largest fighting game tournament – now supports PS4 with its new model: the Brook Wingman FGC VX.
Taiwan-based gaming accessory manufacturer Brook, together with Chapstablook, Ltd. (Ueda, Nagano, Japan; CEO Keisuke Kashima), proudly announce that the new model of the highly acclaimed Wingman FGC series has expanded to the U.S. market.
Following its successful launch in Japan in July 2025, the Brook Wingman FGC VX officially launched in the United States in December 2025.
Upgraded from Previous Generations
The Brook Wingman FGC VX inherits the ultra-low latency and rock-solid stability of its predecessor the FGC2, while expanding platform support.
In addition to PlayStation 5 and PC (X-Input), the new VX now adds PlayStation 4 compatibility, allowing players to use their favorite arcade sticks and wired pads across all major platforms without compromise.
Brook’s converters remain the only adapters officially recognized for EVO use (as of December 2025), making them the ideal choice for serious fighting game players worldwide.
The Wingman FGC VX breaks down the “platform barrier”, offering a definitive solution for today’s competitive scene.
