Hikig 2 Player Arcade Games Controller DIY Parts Kit for Windows Games and Raspberry Pi,2x 5PIN Joystick + 20x LED Buttons + Zero Delay USB Encoder, Color: Red & Blue

This is a really easy replacement mod-kit for your arcade cabinet or old ArcadeUp1 cabinets, as comes with everything you need. Two Joysticks, Led Blue & Red Buttons (even spares), the easy cable connectors, cable ties, USB convert boards and instructions. I'm delighted how my unit turned out and the joysticks have that old retro arcade feel now too. I think of Arcade cabinets as toys, so no point spanding a fortune on your toy, this is an ideal pack, for creating your arcade, for old PC or RetroPie Arcade projects, without breaking the budget.

Used for modifying a SF A1UP and these are perfect. Sticks have Sanwa brand stamped on them, unsure if these are copies or genuine, either way they’re very good quality

Really good quality product. Setup was very simple. There was a lot of unnecessary plastic in the packaging (each individual button was in its own bag + bubble wrap) but very happy with the actual product

The buttons and sticks work as advertised and they were easy to setup and use for my RetroPie project. More or less plug'n'play. I had a couple of issues with the product when i received them, but the seller was quick and efficient with helping me, resolving any issues I had.

Built a Retropie games table. Had these in for several weeks and all seems good. Simple to wire up. Good brightness

These are really easy to assemble and setup if you use what comes in the set. The problem is that the buttons are terrible. They just aren’t arcade buttons so should never be used in an arcade build or 1up mod. They really are that bad. They are smaller and have poor sloppy travel when pressed. The plastic also feels poor quality. The joysticks are good Sanwa clones. They are good and usable but don’t make up for the buttons.It’s worth mentioning that the ease of setup actually works against you if you do what I did and then try to use Sanwa buttons. This kit uses 3 pin plugs at both ends for connecting each button. That isn’t compatible so requires a lot of wire cutting and reconnecting etc.Basically, avoid kits with light up buttons like these. You will want real arcade buttons.

I have wanted to build an arcade cabinet for over a decade but never quite got around to it.A few months ago I built a retropie and then a few days before Christmas I just happened to stumble on Streetfighter II 3/4 full size cabinets for sale on offer in Smyths Toys.A quick bit of research later and I had a list of kit required to convert the unit to the retropie, including these buttons.I removed the old buttons and joysticks, drilled a pair of new 30mm holes (the R/Pi needs one extra for each player) and fitted these switches.For a start they're a perfect fit but they have a single 3 pin connector which means no confusion between power for the built in LED's and the button action.Another massive benefit was that the joysticks unscrewed from their supplied mounting plates and the original ones were screwed in their place as a direct swap so no problem with alignment and no need to drill any pilot holes.Another advantage is that there are arrows on the original plates so you don't get the joysticks inverted by accident.It is really important to wire up both sets of buttons identically otherwise you can end up with one set interfering with the other or with mismatched buttons.Once everything is wired, plug in the supplied USB cables and connect to the r/pi.One last important step is that if you had other controllers configured the r/pi may not find these. I found it best to connect a keyboard or SSH and clear the controller configuration.Once everything was built they work really beautifully well as well as looking fantastic!Really worth every penny.
