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

Easy to essemble, Retro Feel. Product received as described. For the 8 large buttons use a 1 1/8 inch drill bit. 2 Smaller buttons and joystick require a 1 inch drill bit hole. Very happy with product. Yes there is clicking sounds hitting buttons and using joystick, but this is how it was in the arcade. The music and noise usually drowned it out. Already recommended to friends.

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.

Wow, these are the brightest lights I've ever used on an arcade cabinet. Not the best quality buttons but exactly what you expect for the price. It all works fine.
