EG STARTS Arcade Buttons 1 Player DIY Kit Joystick 5V LED Arcade Button for Arcade Stick PC Games Mame Raspberry pi

made an arcade joystick for my son, works flawlessly, lights are very cool feature especially in a dark room. easy to install everything, works really good with raspberry pi.

Best starter kit for the price. Quality is also admirable.

found out the buttons will only light up in a different configuration to actual guide, had to check YouTube video for same and video was wrong but look at the comments about the wiring to find the right way to install cables. White buttons received are also smaller than the others with no sticker like other comments, yeah they mentioned u might get version 1 or 2. Stick screws also way to short had to removed the metal plate to install without it. Pain in butt to have to take it all apart for return.

As an avid arcade enthusiast, I've used several DIY kits over the years, and the EG STARTS Arcade Buttons 1 Player DIY Kit is by far the most impressive combination of quality, fun, and value I've found. This kit is absolutely deserving of five stars. Installation Simplicity: Everything in the kit is clearly labeled and designed for easy plug-and-play assembly. The wiring harness included makes connecting the joystick and buttons to the encoder a breeze. I had it installed and running in my custom fight stick cabinet in under 30 minutes. Beginner-friendly, professional results. Crisp, Responsive Feel: The star of the show is the performance. The 5V LED buttons have a satisfying, responsive click and register inputs instantly—crucial for fighting games and shmups. The joystick is smooth, features a classic ball-top design, and provides precise 8-way movement. There is zero noticeable input lag. Fantastic Aesthetics: The LED lighting is bright, vibrant, and really brings the arcade experience to life. It adds that authentic, flashy look you want in a custom build. The lights power easily via the 5V USB connection. Incredible Value: You get everything you need for a full one-player setup (joystick, buttons, encoder, and all necessary wiring) for a price that simply can't be beaten. This kit punches well above its weight class in terms of quality. If you are building a MAME cabinet, a retro console controller, or a custom arcade stick, STOP LOOKING AND BUY THIS KIT! It delivers on every promise.

This set of joystick/button/usb controller combination was the perfect set for my budget minded virtual pinball machine. The price for this set was very affordable and the buttons light up and function as they should. Though I’ve used these buttons for everything from coin adding, game start, plunger, nudge and flipper buttons, I might choose to upgrade the flipper buttons in the future for more responsive switch buttons. Overall, the quality is great for the price and the controller board was easy to map using a software such as Joytokey, Antimicro or Xpadder. The responsiveness of the buttons and joystick are acceptable for my likes.
