- The X-Arcade Arcade2TV-XR is a unique pedestal arcade stick with tons of features... but just a couple nitpicks keep it from being perfect in my opinion... but it is still very close.

This thing looks neat but, $500? No way. X-Arcade is a good brand overall. Maybe I just see little point in the pedalstal it's attached too. I feel like there's other, MUCH more cost efficient ways of accomplishing whatever this thing is trying to do.
$500 USD before tax and shipping and no HAPP or Sanwa buttons? not only no but *HELL NO.*
Yup. X-Arcade is a Decent brand but, sometimes i question their sanity.
@@Gametester110-qf8vs X-Arcade stuff is normally CRAP - avoid like the plague
I agree a huge whiff what were they thinking. I can pick up an AtGames Legend for $499 and it comes with a full arcade w/ spinners.
Yeah those parts are fine for budget controllers but for $500 how hard would it have been to spend a couple of extra bucks for the real things. They're not that much more expensive.
Lol I said that same thing bro this dude is a fraud don't mess with this channel bro
I don’t understand why these companies completely discard spinners. For old school games and an option for steering wheels, they have more uses that the trackball. Get with it!!!
Id rather they just have a modular spot and sell for cheaper and let you add on what you want. Me... Id rather just have sticks and buttons and nothing else 🤷 i dont like the clutter look of an all in one control panel, and personally dont play many games that would use those controls.. thats why id rather it be modular.
They have a new tank stick with it all.spinners,track ball so on.I will buy.
The build quality seems pretty good but for 500 dollars it's pretty expensive
Wild that X-Arcade is still around, wish they still produced the cabinets, totally would have bought one.
RecRoomMasters is pretty good if you got the space/money. Same for Gameroomsolutions, who can also whip up cabinent art for you.
There's people on reddit that will 3d print pretty much anything for you, you could have someone make a cupholder adapter for you
I'm sure STL files for prints will be all over the regular 3D print sites in no time.
Really wish they would have had some spinners... Also, would be neat to re-purpose those holes for light guns.
For $500, it should be compatible with all the popular systems out of the box. WTH!? Plus, the thing should be more stable. Build better base.
I noticed when you took the panel up that there are indeed two side buttons as well. Have you tried Pinball FX VR with it? It should feel very realistic for a pinball table controller.
Don't we need four side buttons to comfortably play pinball games though? For flippers _and_ tilt.
There's a great innovation by Hit Box Arcade called C.O.M.B.O. Extension that allows you to add buttons without drilling holes, but I think that's only for standard Japanese buttons (30 mm) and not American buttons (28 mm).
@@triple_lei Great question, but i don't think so. Since the VR remotes are mounted in the holes, they have the ability to monitor motion from a fixed point, so bumping the unit would be akin to tilting the table.
Looks like a generally good idea with the adjustable height stand. The acrylic rgb seems like a waste of money for the consumer though. At $500 I'd expect higher quality buttons/sticks too.
The trackball is nice to see, just needs a spinner.
The VR seems like an odd choice and another thing that probably a waste for most consumers. A better use for those holes / that extra space would be for light guns imo.
I think i'd make some sort of monitor mount that would fit in those holes. and make it an impromptu arcade on wheels or something
I know with some of the brooks adapters that advertised compatibility with the Switch, it wasn’t that way out of the box, but when I updated the firmware of adapter, it was then able to work on Switch.
I bought the 2-player trac-ball tankstick in 2009 and it came with the Maximus Arcade frontend trial
Their current controller board has 11ms average input lag through xinput wired directly to a pc. I hope for that money they've upgraded it because almost every other stick out there is better now
For me this is a Step Backward, they were the only company making American/European style Arcade Sticks and now they are using fake Japanese Style.
THIS! It was the only reason to even look at them now that Microcenter doesn't have the Atari sticks anymore.
Yea, it’s a lot of money, but to me that stand is probably a lot of that cost. Seems like a very good stand by the looks
Have the tankstick w/ trackball and it is really good. had to swap out to a zero-lag since I had an older version. I typically use my arcade stick as a throwback, a time of being in the real world playing physical buttons/joysticks, etc, something more than a typical controller, so I dont see the point of VR. Think the tankstick is the way to go, and about $300 cheaper
US layout on this over Japanese is WILD. Will it fit Japanese sticks and buttons without modification?
I don't like how that thing is wobbling around while you're playing.
You can tape over the holes if it's that bad for you. I love arcade emulators in VR and always have a hard time trying to figure out where to put my controller.
And finally, the price is a no-go for me, especially with non-Sanwa buttons, though the inclusion of bat tops is a nice touch.
Solenoids, a front plunger, and extra buttons for pinball nudge and it would be much closer to a perfect "all-in-one" solution.
This thing looks awesome and exactly what I have been looking for to use with analogue pocket for arcade cores, does anyone know of this setup that will work with the AP?
I will test it and follow back up
You have to be kidding….
@@jwylovesknc what do you mean?
Buttons on side for pinball??
Yep
the holes would make great spot for TV mount
I already have the qanba 2009 so im good. However im kinda interested in that VR app if it works with other joysticks
I still have my xarcade stick in my mame cab. I purchased mine in 2013 though, so it uses the old ps/2 connection instead of usb.
Is it worth the money to put that together and play it
I love my tank stick but this is cool for sure
i thought the holes where for a tv mounting bracket at first glance.
Is it made of leather? Or did you say lever?
He said it's made of metal and you pull a lever to raise and lower it.
@@phishwak Oh he pronounces lever leather lol. Sry my bad.
If you use the GameCube adapter for xarcade it should work with the switch GameCube adapter that came out with smash bros.
Will it work with analogue pocket?
Ill test and follow up
@@Madlittlepixel cool
@@cmag6581 I am still messing around with it, last night I did a little bit of testing and while it wasnt working I am a little hopeful there is some way to get it to as some buttons actually would register... Just no directions would register. Ill keep trying though.
For $500 they really shouldn't have cheaper out on the buttons. That's pretty inexcusable. The VR app does seem like it has potential, but I agree they should have at least included something to cover up those holes if they're not being used.
They reached out to me after my video, previously I was only speaking to a PR firm they and I believe the VR app people were using which kind of wasn't really helping with answers much.. but they actually told me they have some plans that utilize the VR controller holes for addons... kind of sounds interesting. I wish some of the info they shared with me after the video I knew before hand... but Ill be doing some follow up content in the near future... one of the first things may actually be the Nintendo Switch compatibility... just seems like there was some miscommunication and errors on how things were listed with compatibility but Switch should work with another Brook adapter... still an extra cost but at least it should work.
Additional cost for adapters in 2024 is no good. Also like the transparency on the button quality.
The holes would have been perfect to mount a monitor right to it. Instant arcade game! I have the old model and it collects dust. Why? IT IS HUGE! The stand is a great idea. $500 though? No.
Thanks.
Sometimes the balls are a bit wobbly and you have to tighten up the nuts.
Great review! I'd rather a spinner than a track ball any day.
They should add a spinner for that price to play tempest.
For a cheaper price you could see cheaper buttons but the company couldn't even give you like a good better and best option. The better and best option you get better buttons. But I guess it is a way for the company to save money but still over charge you.
I would prefer it in Black. I don't like the White color. For $500 it better have games built in. I have the X-Arcade Tankstick. It's half the price and basically does what I need it to do. But... to each their own.
it costs a lot more but I'd much rather buy a Qanba 2009
Everyone is shilling the x arcade stand, its not that bad but 500 is alot for a stand with controls.
A no on that.
The adapters should be included in that price along with better buttons.
That's at least $200 tops.
Why can they just make a stand for their tankstick?
I just knew you was going to buy it you but almost anything you see.
looks really wobbly while you are playing.
It has adjustments on the legs if needed. I moved the setup to my garage and the floor is a little wonky but in my house when I was using it I didnt notice it wobbling, if you get a little rough maybe it will move a little. Also on the sides where it locks into place it can be tightened or loosened, that may contribute to wobbling Im not sure.. when I moved it to my garage I did loosen both sides a little. I am going to be filming a couple more videos with it coming up and will make sure the sides are tightened and will use it in my house when filming, then I guess we can compare.
500$ and no sanwa buttons? To who is aimed this product? Because as a daily arcade stick user this is not really comparable to anything good that has the half of the price,and i would not buy it just for a flashy logo and a stand..
I do think its awesome, if it comes in black and works on Android... But the price... $300 = Take my money now! | $400 = I'll wait and see if it goes on sale... | $500 = Eh, I could just build this from my tankstick...
Which I pretty much already have, with my tankstick on a cheap adjustable standing desk.
I own a couple of their sticks and while the sticks are very durable their button layout is terrible. Those 2 buttons under the other 6 are useless and in the way!
3d print hole plugs
Premium price. Economic parts.
Those extra 2 buttons under the main 6 buttons layout look painful 😓🤐 whoever designed it never played Street Fighter where u require to do Honda/Chun Li Handslap or Lighting kick 🤣😂
$500 with a rollerball, no Sanwa buttons 🤣😂🤔 and I thought the Evercade Alpha was expensive, but this is a rip off
This feels like a compromised review. You can't call something "almost perfect" with the laundry list of issues that you pointed out. Far too many TH-camrs are afraid of calling out something when they receive things.
I just paid $500 for the qanba 2009. THATS and arcade controller set up
500 for just the top or the entire desk? Those are nice
@@Madlittlepixel the entire desk. Right off of qanbas own website
You'll use it a couple of times then it will collect dust like the rest of the 50 arcade sticks you have...lol
$500 is the new $200 😢
i like pandora box better
But alas my stupid 59 years of old age and knows nothing about computers and I have lost very expensive console systems I can’t afford anymore because I can’t figure out how to use them! I can’t figure out how to download the games. I’m not kidding I got fired from my old job because I couldn’t figure out how to use a computer. If it’s not plug n play I don’t want it!
I think id stick with the original honestly. I reckon x arcade have dropped the ball here.
I'm sorry man, but I'm not interesting about this, I'm not paying a $500 arcade fighting Joysticks.
Eventually, these will get better with time! At the moment though, I'll pass
lol if it's over $100 it better be perfect!!
Nice
👍👍™️
Thing looks ridiculous like an elliptical machine…and based on your video it shakes around a lot doesn’t look stable or stout.
500 bucks for a overpriced joystick 🙄 heck to the no… but wait it’s a additional 100 bucks to use on ps5… 🙄 Naaah my dual sense works perfectly fine… and why would you even want to use this thing on the switch 😂
What even is that button layout? Why not use a more traditional 4x4 layout so you can play neo geo properly? And then it uses shitty chinese parts? It's a hard pass.
Too rich for my blood.
$500 and not even sanwa hard pass
Too expensive.
Bro stop wasting your money lolz.
this is not worth 500 lol
