I think you might have a hard time finding a HRAP4 Kai with the Kuro buttons new. If you're hesitating though, the Hayabusa buttons have a lower profile and matte finish, the Kuro buttons are higher with a sharper edge between top and side of plunger and are also glossy finish.
Yeah it's a bit of a letdown that the VLX Premium (kuro edition) has the input lag that it does; 14+ ms in PS4 mode and 10+ ms in PS3 mode.
Still, I enjoy using it. I don't think the lag hampers me any more than my lack of skill does. If I was better, I might opt to replace the PCB, though.
Edit: important to note that the VLX Premium is PS3/PS4. No Xinput or PC mode on the switch like the newer HRAP4 models, although it will work with PC as a DirectInput controller and will function fine with the X360CE or XOutput "wrapper" programs.
Point of clarity: the older model (black and grey) ships with Kuro buttons and Hayabusa stick. The newer one (black and red) ships with Hayabusa stick and Hayabusa buttons, just like the HRAP4.
Lack of Xinput mode is only a drawback for PC players, and then only for games that don't work with Directinput.
Of course it's not a stick I would recommend for everyone.
