Game machine

It syncs perfectly with both bluetooth and the 2.4ghz dongle, and the battery lasts a long time. I like that when you switch between Switch and X modes, the lights on the buttons change to reflect different layouts. This comes in very handy when using this in conjunction with my Brook Wingman XB so I can use the arcade joystick on my Xbox Series X.

I love this arcade bar. I'm not a geek at all but I love playing old arcade games with this thing. It's well-weighted and very sturdy (it stood up to an attack from my five-year-old when he picked it up and spun it around - it still works perfectly!)

While I'm happy with the stock bar and buttons, I know that more serious gamers, especially fighting game enthusiasts, may not be happy with them. That being said, it's pretty easy to swap out the bar, limited ports, and buttons with more advanced components if you so desire. Not for everyone but nice to have options.

Overall, if you've come this far and still need convincing - you won't get this quality at this price, given the wide range of versatility and future upgrade paths. I will probably buy a second one later so I can start teaching the kids in MK and SF on a level playing field.

A nice surprise awaits you after unboxing and fully charging this device - Android will detect and allow you to use this device, so sign in while you're in 'Windows' mode. Emulators such as Retroarch seem to have no problem detecting and mapping this controller.

As for PC use, this is an equally solid choice for fighting games and some classic arcade games, plus the bonus of being able to use it as a wired controller makes it almost unstoppable.

Great for classic simulation, especially for video games. Personally, I haven't tried the Switch mode, but I don't see why it doesn't work well. The rod is heavy and stays in place even with heavy use thanks to a metal plate inside the bottom for durability.

Works perfectly on both Windows and Linux, and works well with the included wired, BT, and 2.4ghz dongle on both platforms. Since it supports Xinput, it is detected by almost anything you can throw at it on your PC.

I use this controller in conjunction with the free "joy2key" software to map buttons and joysticks to different keyboard shortcuts in the GSPro golf simulator. Now I just need this and a wireless mouse by my side to handle things while gaming in the GSPro while my gaming PC can be further away.

I bought two of these arcade sticks waiting for the Capcom Fighting collection for Nintendo Switch and can safely say after owning them for a month that they have lived up to all my expectations and more. !
