Best stick ever, I put the haptics upgrade kit on mine and not even lying it's just like playing real pinball games. I love it. I highly recommend this stick with the haptics kit if you're into pinball at all you're going to absolutely love it. It's like installing a whole arcades worth of pinball machines in 1/3 the space of a real machine. It's perfect for pinball fans with limited space. Install is moderate difficulty however no soldering whatsoever is required but you will have to drill some holes in the bottom of it for the plunger but they give you a guide to make it really really simple. If you can build a PC you can do the upgrade. Maybe practice drilling a few holes in a some spare junk 2mm thick plastic for practice first. Cost is $600 plus tax and it was $85 to ship to Washington state. This is a good US company making quality products for real I couldn't be happier.

Will this work natively with Batocera? Do you have to map each system?

The lack of spinner controls is a bit disappointing. :/

Great video! What was your setup for this, PC? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get this to work with Retropie/Retroarch.

took me 4 mins to clearly see its to small . Players are to close together and elbows hit… LAME. My 1st gen XArcade looks bigger. FFS contact me to pay me to make you be the best in North America.

Do the games like donkey kong, street fighter, etc come with the controller? I assume no?
@BaneMcDeath
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
Lordy! That's a bit. Look at that room in thr center. Needs numpad for coleco/intellivision/jaguar/5200 etc. I noticed others mentioned spinner is an option.
But dang.. pinball too? AWESOME! Standing and the frame is heavy solid metal. Nice indeed! Looks awesome!
@Anthony-knows-little

Its a shame you cant add a spinner upon ordering. Heck, Id add on a spinner for Tempist, AND the two handed Star Wars controller…

On sale for 279 is a nice deal for the arcade stick and the stand.
@doro626
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
i want that stand more than anything. I bought a Chinese all in one two player set up ( Pandoras Box) and the only draw back is you have to put it on your lap to use it.
@Datan0de
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
This is super cool! If they want to go for 100% authenticity though, it should come with optional cigarette burns in the control panel. 😅. Okay, maybe not.
Pity that it doesn't have a spinner, but my pie-in-the-sky dream arcade control setup would include the spinner from Discs of Tron, which could also be pushed down or pulled up. I've never heard of anyone making one, though.

I’m grateful you made this video but there is a real need for more information about the various adapters for the modern consoles, PC etc. X-Arcade should do this but perhaps the void can be filled by good You Tubers in the community. I’m grateful for what you do!
@Darwinion
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
In this day and age you should be able to flip between 4/8 way on the fly. Swapping out restrictor plates for that is unacceptable.
@CeesMeijer
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
Wait.. No spinner for playing Tempest ?? That spoils it for me.

@Boswd
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
hmm I wonder if you can map the joysticks so player 2 can be player one for right handers?

Does this have any Williams Classics like Defender, Joust or Robitron?
@EricTrump-rs6vu

they need do clear buttons that change over 100 color variations also strobe effect option

I have this as well and really love it. I'm unsure the best way to configure it for Emulation(Coin Ops, etc) Do you have a guide?
@Reaperman4711
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
the mamecab/trackball look of xarcade stuff always seemed a little 'cursed' or 'cringe' as the zoomers say. and the new jlf-style restrictor gates forecast a lever-change that's not welcome in my mind. No idea why they made it so big if they were going to use jlf-ish levers. 🤷♂ Someday I know I'll trip over an old xarcade solo for the right price and own one, but probably not one of these.

Does anybody know any good at home arcade shooters with somewhat realistic light gun controllers? I have been searching for MONTHS with little to no luck. The BEST thing i could find was cabelas the hunt with some really shoddy joycon gun grip accessories.

@KnickKnack07
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
From the sound of that trackball, it sounds like it might even be usable for games like Golden Tee. It sure spun for a long time with the one big push.
@cuilidh
May 6, 2026 at 3:43 am
Much rather have a spinner than trackball. No idea why the trackball is always what they go with.

@DarkpawTheWolf

The stand reminds me of the drum set for "Rock Band" 15ish or so years ago. Looks like a good setup, though. I literally just commented a few minutes ago on the Galaga mini-controller review, and said how it would be good to have a full-size console for it. This would be it. But it requires having MAME or something else to use with it. A great combo would be this size controller/setup, but with the ROMs built-in to it. Much less space than the full multi-game cabinets, and probably a lot cheaper.
