  • Great product. Great Deal
When I want to buy joysticks and buttons this is where I'm gonna go from now on. It was a great purchase and everyone's happy.

  • Average quality
Works fine for my application, buttons and joysticks are just ok, nothing fancy, occasionally my arcade unit doesn't recognize button presses, but could be my hardware or the momentary switch not sure

  • High Quality
Does not feel like cheap stuff. Joysticks return spring is nice and strong, they give you plenty of buttons and micro switches to go around. Overall very satisfied.

  • Works good
Unbelieveably clicky which is huge bonus for me. One of the buttons on the joystick was installed upside down. I just had to unscrew and flip it, but that makes me think the qc is probably dogshit. Mine worked well and it looks pretty amazing. Also its plug and play u just plug it into your laptop and it detects u can remap the buttons. ... show more

  • Okay experiences
One joy did not work. The holes for the micro switch were drilled off. But the rest of the package was a value. 3 stars.

  • Great buttons, joystick, and switches for the price. Boards do what needed, slight input lag
Everything works great. Decoder boards do what I need them to do. Only complaint is there is some slight input lag with the decoder boards. I notice this the most when using on NES and SNES emulators, and switching back and forth between using this decoder board, and using a wired Xbox One controller. But other than that, it does what I need it to. No issues with plug and play on both a Raspberry Pi 3, and a Windows 11 PC. EDIT: Ok, another complaint I should have mentioned. Wires are a little shorter than they should be. So expect to have to either mount the circuit boards really close to the buttons, or solder/crimp extensions on to the wires. Minor detail, still good for the price. Will still buy again. Just something to be aware of. ... show more

  • Kerchow (fast)
With this kit you are a 25$ used tv and retropie away from making an awsome arcade machine! I could've done the whole project from scratch but this kit made it light work. Just layout the buttons on a 6$ scrap wood from a home improvement store drill the holes and plug and play it was so easy.
