This arcade kit is perfect for DIY gaming projects. The LED buttons are vibrant, and the joysticks are responsive and sturdy. It was easy to assemble and works seamlessly with MAME and Raspberry Pi setups. Great for reliving classic gaming moments!

Works perfectly on my arcade 1up that I've modded with a RetroPie. Fast shipping and only took about an hour to install.

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.

Replaced the original joystick and buttons with the Hikig 2 player kit. Gave my cabinet an updated look and performs well. The three wire plugs that connect everything make it "Plug n Play" and user friendly. Like others have said I did replace the springs for stiffer ones.

Wasn't expecting much at this price but everything looks great and works really well! Set-up was simple (RetroPie) and so was installation. 1.125" holes for the buttons, 0.75 +/- for the joysticks. Seems to be some confusion about the joysticks here - they are 8-way, NOT 4-way. The springs are also a bit loose but you can swap-in stiffer ones which you can order from an arcade supply shop or find at the local hardware store if you know what to look for. Also bought a pack of Avery 2309 3/4" round stickers which you can use to label the buttons (depress two tabs in the sides of the buttons to release and remove the top.) Only thing missing from the kit is a matching 1P/2P/Credit/Exit buttons in a different color. If you decide to order those separately, make sure they have the identical wiring to these ones to save some headaches...

I was looking to upgrade my Mayflash F300 and my wireless 8Bitdo N30 stock buttons to something better.Stock buttons were "mushy" and not that fun to play with. Stock joysticks felt a bit "loose" and not very clicky or precise.These Hikig buttons/sticks are NOT PERFECT, but they are an insane value for the money you pay.I feel like I'm 90% of the way to playing on an actual arcade machine from Japan. The buttons are very snappy and responsive and have a subtle click to them. They fire with very nice precision. The sticks are nice and stiff and clicky.The sticks are high-quality Sanwa JLF clones with a stiffer spring. These sticks are designed specifically to play 2D fighters and will feel unresponsive on games requiring directional switching like Shmups and Pacman... because the "engage distance", "deadzone", and "throw" are all rather large by design.I decided to make 4 modifications to make them more playable as a general arcade stick:1. Oversized actuator (reduces deadzone, engage distance, and throw)2. Shorter shaft (taken from Mayflash stick)3. Lighter springs (taken from Mayflash stick)4. Bat top (allows you to maintain a natural grip on the stick when its down in your lap)That being said, once I installed these I had a nice long arcade play session with some friends and I was IMMERSED. I stopped thinking about the controller in my lap and just zoned into the game. It felt like I was in a Japanese arcade. After installing the oversized actuators... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE playing with these sticks. They are a dream come true.I cannot recommend these enough FOR THE PRICE. Sure, I could have spent $100 for OEM parts. But these stick DO NOT feel cheap. You will get your money's worth and then some.INSTALLATION: If you want to install the buttons on a Mayflash, you have to separate the wires from the 3-pin connectors and insert the signal and ground wires only into the Molex connector on the USB board inside the Mayflash (you don't plug the LED wire into anything). Use a safety pin to pry the wires loose from the Molex connectors in both the Mayflash and the 3 pin connected to the Hikig button. To install the joystick, simply connect the 5-pin connector to the 5-pin socket on the USB board next to the four 2-pin slots that the stock joystick is plugged into.It's laborious and not recommended, but these parts will work!

The product was well packaged, the joysticks are good and the USB encoders excellent with the correct 3 pin cables which are far easier to wire up.However I was sent 20 24mm buttons instead of 16 28mm and 4 24mm buttons which was very frustrating. (Given the current COVID-19 situation I am not keen to go out to return the product.) I used 4 as start buttons. Either way the buttons are very poor quality from gameplay perspective they are not nearly as good as the buttons that come stock with the Arcade1UP cabinet.

So far so good.I grabbed some spare plywood and used it to install just the first player controls. I then plugged in the USB cord into my RetroPie machine, and ran the control configuration program.I was getting upset that the controls in RetroPie worked fine, but the buttons were not mapped correctly in the games I was testing. I did some googling and found the correct button configuration for RetroPie and the various games. I will add a picture of the button layout I used, but I think I mapped the buttons as this:Y X L LT (left trigger)B A R RT (right trigger)I used eight of the buttons for in-game functions, but I think I will remove the trigger button maps, and instead use those for some RetroPie controls like the save & load state, etc.Someone asked if the buttons click but mine do not, this may mean that the buttons are not true micro-switches but I am not sure. The joystick does click in all eight positions though.I cannot seem to open the buttons in order to add a label to them, that would be a nice feature.

I purchased the Arcade1Up Street Fighter cabinet and wanted to replace the buttons/joysticks it came with. This kit came with everything needed to do so and has the added feature of lighting up with LED's because...why not?While there are better buttons out there, these are a great value and perform very well. They've stood up to the abuse of my 4 grand kids who apparently aren't familiar with the phrase "take it easy on the buttons!".These were delivered quickly, have had no issues with any buttons not working, and they made my cabinet much nicer looking. I'll be ordering them again for a 2nd future arcade cabinet project.
