I love this piece of equipment because it works well, has everything I need, and is I like this device because it works well, includes everything I need, and is For games like Pac Man, I don't worry about it as I just switch the Joysticks from 8 to 4 way for a mame machine with four players
4/5

It is a big pain but I can do that for the 8 way joystick for games like game of thrones. The mounting hardware is not included, but that's perfectly fine since everyone uses it for different reasons. My boards have held up surprisingly well since I used Gorilla Double-Sided Sticky Tape to secure them. This would be a purchase I would make.

To make the project work, you will need a drill bit and machine screws that are 1 1/8"
3/5

We were unable to use several of the buttons. It is not possible to print buttons to scale with the template. Trying to figure out the right drill bit size took me more than 6 hours since the instructions (if you can call them that) did not specify the actual drill bit size. I did not find any help in YouTube tutorials As a result, you'll need a drill bit of 1 1/8 inch. Additionally, since the package does not include machine screws, you will also need these to install your joystick. You should also find a different template for button placement on your piece of wood and be sure to test them on a scrap piece.

It was nice to see the LED buttons in so many colors
5/5

It was exactly what I expected. It was nice to see the LED buttons in so many colors. Be sure to keep the retaining nuts on the buttons tight, or use some thread tape or locktight to keep them from coming loose as you play. The USB controller has poor labeling of the connectors and the orientation of the joystick. (I had to remove and turn them after they were all connected. Software developed by Cade.

Before you install the buttons on the chip, read up on how to do so
5/5

In a nutshell, The product was packaged well and everything looked great. I sent an email to the company when one of the buttons stopped working and within 48 hours they sent me an alternate. The buttons are quality for the money, the leds are bright, the installation is smooth, and they install well.

It has a great price and is easy to use
4/5

This was a great learning experience for me as a first time user of MAME. One of the two non-working batteries was included Blue button worked, but I had enough for my project (maybe others as I didn't test them all since I didn't need so many Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think so). It is true that the joysticks are While playing, you mostly disregard that, especially if the volume on the console is too high. In spite of that, if you think it will annoy you, you're probably going to be annoyed because you'll be on the lookout Although it's tolerable, I do find it to be a nuisance. Put it in a cabinet with loud enough, directed, game sounds and you won't notice it. Otherwise, you will, but it is generally ignorable for most people (especially if you know what you can do. The game has taken over your attention). It is easy for me to hear very well. There was no problem hooking it up with Lakka/Retroarch, and using it was also hassle-free. The first time I used it, I was a bit confused, but if you're not, the first time you use it will probably work instantly. For sure, it is plug and play. Screws would be one thing I had liked them to have included in the set. While they aren't sure of the method or the thickness of material you will use to mount the joysticks, I believe a few short screws could still be useful.

It's great to have such a kit for four players! It was easy to install the buttons and joysticks as they all work well
5/5

Having learned that these are Japanese style arcade sticks/buttons, I will share with you that they are quite different than the 'American' style buttons many of us are accustomed to. This is going to take some time to get A lot of more buttons are simply free to move around, the joysticks take on a completely different feel, pulling off special moves feels completely The result is I am going to buy two joysticks which are in the 'happ' style and are more like the ones we grew up with in the 80s and 90s. This applies particularly to the old fighting games like street fighter and the like that we play a lot. Nonetheless, this is a fantastic set that I would.

This arcade is great for those on a budget
3/5

In fact, the joysticks reproduce the Sanwa well, and actually are quite good. On the other hand, the buttons for arcade games are great, but they're terrible for The only button that did not light up (blue) was also one that was not lit, so even when 31 buttons are lit except for one, it doesn't look good.

Arcade controls are available for a great price
5/5

For a gaming arcade I am building, I bought these. It was easy to install and I hooked it up to a Raspberry The system is working fine. Only thing I do not like is when I play it, the top part of the joystick twists off. Though I think that may be caused by our mashing of buttons. This is a high-quality product with great inputs, and its construction is solid.
