Working great in my arcade in a box, first time builder
The media could not be loaded. Simple install and plugged the USB into Raspberry Pi setup with RetroPi. Mocked it up on a cardboard box first to get the feel of how I wanted the buttons. 2 player kit came with all the parts shown plus some spare parts. Did not include hardware to mount the joystick or board to the wood.As shown in the seller’s photo about half the buttons had to reverse the wires to get them to light up. Weird, but a simple fix.A couple things that are not explained and I figured out with a little fiddling:1. To take apart the buttons twist the switch about 1/8 turn counter-clockwise. If you want to change the image squeeze the white tabs to release the button then pop the top off.2. The “Easy switch from 8-way to 4-way” on the joystick was not easy to figure out or do the first time. My video shows how. This one is loosened up a bit now, first time was stiff and tricky. Also note there is one position that will allow the center ring to fall out.

Bad bulbs
Everything works the way it should except the bulbs. Half were burnt out and only two replacements worked. The rest were also burnt out. 5 stars if all the bulbs would’ve worked.

Looks complicated but easy
Most of the buttons light up ,and can be use on almost any device ( with the proper adapters)

They work.. but I feel they lag a tiny bit... maybe its just me.
Add color to your game cabinet.. They light up nicely.They do feel "cheap" as compared to real arcade buttons.. but then again.. they are at a fraction of the price...So all good.Lets see how long they last.

Just wanted to build an arcade stick
Encoder did NOT work for rp4 or similar, caused major lag on one and caused le potato to fail to boot after. Super disappointed.

Not great.
Well... You get what you pay for. Pro: all of the buttons and sticks work. Windows detected both encoders and loaded a generic controller driver. Cons: Most of the lights for the buttons don't work. Replacement bulbs dont work either. Buttons feel very stiff and slow and are VERY loud. Not in a clocky way, in a extremely cheap spring way. Sticks work but not very quick in response. If you can't afford premium buttons and sticks and want a set that will work but not very good... These are for you.

Good with Hiccups
So it took me awhile to get to this point for my build.. 2 months but now i find one of the joy sticks is not working correctly. after my first power up.. to windows computer for testing .. push down and it goes to right bottom.. push right it goes to right bottom. push left bottom goes to right bottom.. as far as LED lights had about 6 that were backwards. But it was easy to just pull bulb not wires and flip it.. if you try to pull wires they seem to almost super glue themselves on so instead of doing it that way just pull and swap bulb 180 degrees .. hope i can get replacement stick..... Still haven't tried with ras 4 yet so ill know in next few days how that goes

Decent for the price
The buttons aren't my favorite, i shortened the springs by around 85% and its a lot better, more responsive and doesn't require as much force as before.The joysticks are great, just as good or better than my Sanwa!I wish the cables were a little longer.I think having this connected makes the PC unable to go enter sleep, i've tried it on 2 PC's and i've noticed the same thing happening, it's kind of annoying because its a rather important feature for my arcade cabinet.Even when the PC is powered down completely (not just sleep) the buttons are still lit up, this is also annoying because those LED lights will wear out more quickly, this might be because of the PC's i've used, some setting for the USB, or Windows 10, no idea.Overall happy with this kit though apart from some annoyances.

Super Kit complet pour Borne d'arcade Maison
Kit complet 20 boutons 2 manette pour fabriquer sa manette ou son Paddle pour Borne d'arcadej'ai opté pour la version multicolore lumineuse tous est fournis y compris les raccordementspour les voyants des boutons direct sur la petite carte d'encodage Usb pour chaque boutonles boutons comme les manettes répondent très bien et tous cela semble très solide à voire dans le temps..* bravo pour le petit kit de rechange livré avec (Photo 4) 2 switch et des ampoules de rechange ..on peut même mixer les parties des boutons ensemble sur la Photo 3 j'ai pris un blanc et j'y ai mis le centre d'un jaune , en faite je voulais le bouton Coin en "entourage jaune" j'ai donc swtiché les 2 ..que rajouter de plus ?j'ai percé diam 25 mm ce qui largement suffisant du faite que le mécanisme du bouton avec les connectique se déclipse en faisant un simple quart de tour .ce qui est bien pratique pour brancher la connectique après .petite astuce pour d'éclipser les fiches sans tous arracherappuyer au centre de la cosse avec un tout petit tournevis ou un clou pour la déclipser ..si les lumières ne s'allume pas ce n'est qu'une question de polarité inverser les 2 plus grosse cosse sur le bouton ( rouge & noir )une petite critique que ce soit le pour le "coin" ou player 1 ou 2 la base écrite du boutonreste tournante à 360° ,peut être un petit point de colle suffira à la rendre fiche ?sinon je suis très satisfais de mon achat ..

Gut geeignet für Hobby Arcades
Der Lieferumfang:- Alles enthalten!- Zusätzlich noch eine Ersatz LED für jede Farbe- Zusätzlich zwei ersatz MicroswitchesDie Sticks:Optisch sehr ähnlich zu Sanwa JLF Sticks.Kommen mit einem Restriktor, der dem Sanwa GT-8F 4/8 Way Restrictor sehr ähnlich sieht.Das Sanwa Logo und eines von zwei >PC< embleme sind vorhanden,es fehlen aber das zweite >PC< und die Kennung 4.Die mechanischen Komponenten des Sticks sind gut geschmiert und laufen sauber.Die Feder ist stark eingestellt, kann durch Kürzen aber problemlos variiert werden.Die Triggerdistanz der Switches sind kurz, das Gefühl beim Spielen ist ordentlich und für Hobbyprügelspieler geeignet.Die Buttons:Coin, P1 und P2 logos sind bereits vorgeklebt.Die Verarbeitung ist durchweg gut, die Buttons wirken optisch hochwertig.Auch die Buttons haben eine starke Feder, die sich durch Kürzen anpassen lässtund haben einen etwas längeren Weg bis zum Triggerzeitpunkt.Buttons können Quitschen; mit etwas Schmiermittel vor dem Einbau aber kein Problem mehr.Gut geeignet für die meißten Arcade Spiele, weniger für 1on1 fighting games.0-Delay PCBs:Die PCBs haben keinen spürbaren Eingabedelay.

ottimo prodotto (gira la lampadina)
Non aggiungo altro alle recensioni positive ma do un consiglio in piu. Come detto a volte bisogna invertire i cavi per far funzionare i led ma se come me avete avuto difficolta una volta collegato gli spinotti a staccarli potete piu facilente girare la lampadina e tutto funziona alla perfezione . Tempo speso 2 minuti di orologio per invertire 8 tasti

Calidad muy buena, soporte inmejorable
Todo funcionando perfectamente y materiales de buena calidad. Pero éso no es todo.Tuve un problema con una de las placas, la dirección del joystick "arriba" no funcionaba y era por culpa de uno de los pines de la placa PCB.El soporte que recibí fue de categoría, muy profesionales. Les escribí para comentarles el problema y me enviaron una nueva placa PCB en cuestión de horas, sin ponerme pegas.Además, en el paquete les faltó poner un botón azul, me vinieron 3 en vez de 4 pero no hubo ABSOLUTAMENTE
