bfollowell Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I was shocked to see mine coming so soon. I ordered from the Chinese site and it said shipping would be up to three months, but I just noticed that it made to my hometown distribution center yesterday morning. Assuming I get it by Wednesday it'll be three weeks since it was shipped. Not too shabby at all. The way shipping is these days, I don't think everyone can count on that though. Jurgen sent me a replacement SysCheck 2.2 from Germany and it just made it to my local distribution center this morning, but it was shipped November 23, so about 2.5 months.

Lynxpro Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I will never understand the love for the Competition Pro. The only one I ever liked was wired for independent fire buttons on the 5200 so you'd turn it sideways for Fire 1 and 2 to be above and below. Then it was tolerable for me.

+wongojack Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm just finding this. Watched some videos and discovered the fact that button 2 functionality changes based on the config you choose. I REALLY wish Atari 7800 was one of the pre-configured options. https://retroradionics.co.uk/ now has an option to ship from the USA which is nice. I'm debating pulling the trigger which probably means I won't buy. I just have so many joysticks already, but this one really does seem special. Note that when I added the stick that ships from the USA to my cart, it indicated shipping was $15 (no tax for me in TX). Shipping from China was only about $13 (but could take 60 days).

Shipping from China was only about $13 (but could take 60 days). You're right, it could, or maybe even longer. I was pleasantly surprised that mine arrived in only three weeks though. Mine shipped January 27 and I received it on February 16 or 17. Edited March 12, 2021 by bfollowell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I ordered mine with shipment from the UK (I'm in the UK) Took a week to get to me. Really nice quality but I do find that the throw is a bit long for my taste. I will be adding a heavier duty spring and a throw reducer when I get around to buying the parts. Overall though I'm very pleased with my purchase. I was getting tired of my old sticks crapping out on me. Cheaper for me to buy this than rebuild parts for a cx-40 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Now everything is set up and working well these ArcadeR joysticks are selling pretty well, I'm mailing out double figures of them most weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to mod it for 7800 use? Also, can you replace the buttons with real sanwa buttons? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 It doesn't make any difference what model you choose, it's the same stick, I don't even know why they ask for the model, maybe it's so they know what machines to target with hardware next? Yes you can fit real sanwa buttons and real sanwa sticks if you want. I use real sanwa springs, gate and actuator on mine. It should be possible to mod for 7800 but there is nothing specific on the PCB to assist you in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
