Review on LED Arcade DIY Parts: 2X Zero Delay USB Encoder + 2X 2/4/8 Way LED Joystick + 20x LED Illuminated Push Buttons for Mame Windows System & Raspberry Pi Arcade Project – Red & Blue Kits by Terry Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look great, feel great

Balls are larger than pictured. It was a pleasant surprise, they feel great. You look fantastic. You feel strong. Don't neglect the "Mode" buttons, you'll need various "2-pin" connectors for this, as well as wiring for the 5V LED connectors. Mode switches analog inputs to digital and vice versa. Works initially on PS3, but some games don't work, IE; Gran Turismo and arcade pinball. Like a retropy charm. Great on PC. Works with TitanOne or CronusMax adapter. Works on Pandora's box (I have all 4). The weight of these big balls seems awesome in fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, and King of Fighters. I feel stupid for making combat joysticks without LED joysticks and just buttons in the past. What's the point if everything but the joystick (the most used part of an arcade machine) is lit? They are great and I would recommend them to any other Revain Zero Delay kit at this price point. Very happy.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Good but not great
