Arcade Stick x 1, 2.4g Wireless Receiver x 1, USB-C Cable x 1 Review: Great arcade stick for Retropie on a Raspberry Pi, and it's wireless! - The arcade stick is solid and has a good 2.1Kg weight balance, the tactile buttons are easy to depress and are easy to use on fighting games for combos. The joystick isn't bad, either but I prefer less wobble when it springs back although it gives a good feeling I find that I cannot pull off some moves that I could previously on a Neo Geo AES joystick. Modifying this Arcade Stick is very easy, just need a Philips screwdriver (since they revised it and changed the Torx screws out). The buttons and joystick are fully compatible with Sanwa parts. Buttons simply click off and snap on with just 2 wire connectors on each. Modifying the joystick - for those who are a bit more cost concious, this option will make a world of difference - the existing Joystick is Sanwa parts compatible, replacing the spring (£2.99), the actuator (£2.99) and even the square gate (which is the same size as a Sanwa JLX) for an octagonal 8-way (£4.20) will totally change the feel of this to a Sanwa (the microswitches are of good enough quality to fool anyone) once just the first two mods are done you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between it and a standard Sanwa JLF/JLX (depending on which Sanwa spring/actuator you choose) at about £20 less and no messing about with wires. Replacing the joystick - a Sanwa (or similiarly compatible) joystick can be soldered onto 5 points on the PCB or can fit into 5 of the existing 8 pins of the connector to the left of the solder points (YouTube has lots of information on this) you just need to purchase the correct cable which I did for under £2. Fitting a JLX has made a world of difference (as did changing just the spring and actuator which I did on a second Arcade Stick), the standard joystick is good but a Sanwa feels more precise and can be further modified with replacement springs, gates and actuators. Also, the black shaft and dust covers that come with the 8BitDo can be reused with a standard Sanwa JLF/JLX as well as the black ball top (unless you decide to mod the shaft length etc. as well). It's a great purchase and at sixty odd GBP (and now it's a tad under sixty on sale) it has wired and wireless 2.4GHz connectivity from a dongle that just works without drivers on a Raspberry Pi (and other PCs and Steam decks). And of course, it has Bluetooth as well and works on the Nintendo Switch. As it comes, it's a pretty decent Arcade Stick but if you want genuine quality arcade buttons and controls - you can change them at a later date. You can't go wrong with it! Review: Loved it so much I brought a second. - Great build quality and very responsive even when used over Bluetooth. Having a great time using this on beatem-ups, fighters and other arcade games. The 2.4ghz means quick, simple and low latency connections and the battery life has been fantastic. Great compatibility with Switch 2 and the button feel and joystick quality are very high. It’s an easy stick to modify but the quality is to a standard most people need not bother. Great value. ## Features - Support ultimate software - Customize button mapping and create macros.
