I own a number of dual arcade sticks, not a fan of the dual, I could see sharing a stick when I was like 8, but I prefer everybody has their own control. I'd like to pick up one of these w the spinner and trackball w but just a single stick layout. Do they offer this option? I looked at their site but didn't see any

A technique I use when dealing with removing small metal parts is to,have a strong magnet either nearby or embedded in my workbench.

Not a fan of the placement of the bolts, or whatever they are for the trackball. For people who like to really give Golden Tee a go, and "wind up" before they hit the ball had for a shot, having something right in front of the ball is not good.

Closer and closer to pulling the trigger on one of these…urgh, after I pay off the mortgage. Love the spin demonstration at the end! Five minutes??? Yoiks!

Awesome video Mo! I really liked that graphic you did showing where the board was along with the cabling in the chassis before you opened it up.

Thanks Jon, er, Mo. 😃 I don't know if I could ever afford this controller especially with haptics and spinners, but it's nice to see what X-Arcade is doing to milk their…, (ahem) I mean add support for additional requested options. One day perhaps. Unless I get one from the other controller company supporting you guys first.

Here we are, again, in the 50th anniversary of Breakout and GXG is doing a video tailor made for some Breakout action. But alas, no Breakout. We did get some Pong action, so that was awesome.

Very satisfying video. I really enjoyed it. You did great. And i need to make the room to get me that controller. 😊. It looks awesome.

The upcoming "Max" version has the spinners built in and they are located on the main part of the controller, closer to the player. BUT! they are still not in the best position because they're above the buttons, so still kind of awkward. Best placement, if you ask me, is below the joystick in between the trackball and the buttons. And for sure there should be a LOT more resistance to spinning, preferrably adjustable.

How is the latency?

Over 5 minutes! Wow, those spinners are loose. I would have pegged the over/under at 30 seconds. Great job with the install!

It's a good collection, especially with Samurai Shodown 2 but I'm beginning to get NeoGeo fatigue. I did notice with Crazy Burger's review of the new wireless controller, he noted that the analogue sticks worked with some D-Pad controlled games, so there is hope for using the analogue stick for fighting games. Keep on keepin' on my friend 🙂

You didn’t make any mistakes Mo. It was purrrfect!😺(Kitty pun intended)

Great job super Mo! Love the Snoopy watch too. Hope to see more videos from you in the future.

Very informative. Looking at getting one of these sticks and I keep wussing out of it but definately looks worth it
@DaleWiese

I am thinking Mo should get all the step by step tutorial type video assignments from now on. That was really complete and well thought out. He knows when to follow the instructions and when to punt.

Are these push pull spinners for Discs of Tron and Super Punch Out?

Great video; the demonstration at the end for how long the spinners will continue spinning was a great way to demonstrate what you were saying about the spinners.

PONG for the Win!!
And I need to know more about that Q*Bert you have … is there a video on it yet and if not can you do one eventually?
Great video today Mo
Keep up the good work

Ps. Legend has it that Spinner is still spinning 😂🤣

I appreciate the video but where do the Meta controllers now go? Don't the controllers have to interact with Pinball FX to function correctly? The new "Max" controller has the holes for the controllers and the spinners are now separate. A bit confusing.
