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 Clint Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality for the money except maybe the joystick.

Okay so good for now. The USB encoder is pretty basic so hooking it up was simple and easy and the buttons seem to be of good quality. The biggest problem with this kit are the joysticks. They seem incredibly free. They work well for beat 'em ups and side scrolling shoot 'em ups, but 9/10 times in fighting games I can't do any special moves due to fuzzy controls. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize them either. So I will most likely have to replace them, which defeats the purpose of the kit if you need to replace any part of it.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Very expensive
