Great kit and really good, quick support
I bought this to upgrade my Mortal Kombat II Arcade 1up cabinet I just bought used to upgrade with a PC etc. Following the many videos on Youtube made it easy and this hardware works really well. Easy to install and cable. Everything works, only mapping the keys is trickier than it could be in my opinion, but doable. Lights all work. Interestingly not all the buttons are wired the same, so you may have to swap the Red and Black on a few. I found most were red cable to the red side, but some were the other way around. This is just to get the lights working, as they are LED and require the polarity to be correct. Very happy with the end result. Enough buttons to allow you to choose colours of buttons and I added a couple as suggested by Youtubers, and there are enough in this kit to allow you to do it. I had a small issue and contacted the seller through Amazon. They responded immediately with good solid advice which sorted my very small issue. Nice to get such a product and service from China.

So far, so very good!
So far, so very good. I'm back to the 80's and my childhood dream of owning proper arcade machines like those from Big. Well, instead of course nowadays we can do it with a Raspberry pie running Retropie. I bought this set of two player buttons and have built a test assembly to try out one of the sets and I have to say I'm very impressed with the results. It's a proper retro feel to the joystick and buttons, they illuminate nicely thanks to an LED backlight. I powered one set off of the Raspberry Pie with no issues, and Retropie detected the controller board with no problems. Can't say much about longevity or wear and tear yet as I've only just got it setup. Cables are all good quality, and the microswitches rotate out of the housings easy enough. Be advised that you remove the microswitches in order to mount the buttons in place and you're likely to put some of them or all of them in the 'wrong way round' which simply means the LED will not light in this orientation. As the instructions say, just swap the power lines round and you're back up and running.

Good value kit, just a shame some LEDs didn't work
The buttons and joysticks work well, but half my LEDs weren't working, unfortunately. You get spares but not enough to replace them all. Still, my boy was thrilled with his bartop arcade build so I am happy overall. I can replace the broken LEDs later. Easy to install.

Great buttons and switches
I bought when converting a 1up Arcade cabinet, they work really well and were pretty easy to set up. They look very good when all lit up in the dark. I'd recommend them.

Cheap feeling and poor QA
Feel quite cheap, also several lights didn’t work which turned out to be that they were wired up incorrectly so all i had to do was switch the red and black wires. About 20% of them had this problem but all working now. I don’t advise it but you can work on them ‘live’ plugged into a battery bank so you can test them before committing to plugging them in. As for the cheap feeling, they kinda squeek and the stick ball feels light and seems to be made in two parts so you can feel the seam

Joysticks and all buttons work, but lights on buttons are not.
Brought this set for my arcade cabinet and plugged it all in to find that some of the lights for the buttons does not work which is very frustrating. If anyone knows how to fix this, please comment

An awesome kit
Installed on an Ikea Lack table (with a Raspberry Pi 3, an old, 2nd hand, €10 monitor and a set of cheap speakers). Works like a charm. The joysticks are durable and strong, the backlit buttons are great (and there are spare lights too). Instructions are clear and easy. Just one note for installation: Make sure the 2 joysticks orientation (up-down/left-right) is aligned. I love it.

Nice, rugged kit
Exactly what i wanted. Was a bit fiddly working out how to sort out the LEDs but swapping wires around got me there in the end. Software worked immediately and was recognised too once all the wires were on. The buttons are very rugged and well built, so twisting them in order to dismantle or replace parts can be nerve racking to a first timer, but don't be afraid to put in that little extra twist! Came with spare parts too!

Der Lieferumfang: - Alles enthalten! - Zusätzlich noch eine Ersatz LED für jede Farbe - Zusätzlich zwei ersatz Microswitches Die Sticks: Optisch sehr ähnlich zu Sanwa JLF Sticks. Kommen mit einem Restriktor, der dem Sanwa GT-8F 4/8 Way Restrictor sehr ähnlich sieht. Das Sanwa Logo und eines von zwei >PC< embleme sind vorhanden, es fehlen aber das zweite >PC< und die Kennung 4. Die mechanischen Komponenten des Sticks sind gut geschmiert und laufen sauber. Die Feder ist stark eingestellt, kann durch Kürzen aber problemlos variiert werden. Die Triggerdistanz der Switches sind kurz, das Gefühl beim Spielen ist ordentlich und für Hobbyprügelspieler geeignet. Die Buttons: Coin, P1 und P2 logos sind bereits vorgeklebt. Die Verarbeitung ist durchweg gut, die Buttons wirken optisch hochwertig. Auch die Buttons haben eine starke Feder, die sich durch Kürzen anpassen lässt und haben einen etwas längeren Weg bis zum Triggerzeitpunkt. Buttons können Quitschen; mit etwas Schmiermittel vor dem Einbau aber kein Problem mehr. Gut geeignet für die meißten Arcade Spiele, weniger für 1on1 fighting games. 0-Delay PCBs: Die PCBs haben keinen spürbaren Eingabedelay.

Simple install and plugged the USB into Raspberry Pi setup with RetroPi. Mocked it up on a cardboard box first to get the feel of how I wanted the buttons. 2 player kit came with all the parts shown plus some spare parts. Did not include hardware to mount the joystick or board to the wood. As shown in the seller’s photo about half the buttons had to reverse the wires to get them to light up. Weird, but a simple fix. A couple things that are not explained and I figured out with a little fiddling: 1. To take apart the buttons twist the switch about 1/8 turn counter-clockwise. If you want to change the image squeeze the white tabs to release the button then pop the top off. 2. The “Easy switch from 8-way to 4-way” on the joystick was not easy to figure out or do the first time. My video shows how. This one is loosened up a bit now, first time was stiff and tricky. Also note there is one position that will allow the center ring to fall out.

Köpte detta paket för att bygga arkadmaskin att köra retrospel på. Blir nog bra när det blir klart. Bra pris på produkten
