No he not. It is a two player arcade stick.

The Atari's buttons layout is better because of the curve. Also, the lever and buttons are Bailongs (spelling?) which are good Sanwa clones.

Probably ya. I'm handy with electronics and carpentry so I'd make one myself but that's me..
It's user programmable so just flip it 180
I don't know ANYONE who has played like that, though.
The X-Arcade does have more buttons and it does have the side flipper buttons, but due to the overhang on the top panel, the flipper buttons are completely uncomfortable to use. You end up pressing them from above with your finger tips, like you are 'poking' something, rather than flat against the pads of your fingers, like on a real pinball machine.
If both were the exact same price, I would probably go for the X-Arcade. Since I got the Atari one for $99.99, I definitely would have taken that over the X-Arcade at this price-point.
While the tank stick is probably better constructed than the gamer pro, I am/was looking for community support to get a good experience with the device. And that is where I see the gamer pro being significantly better. Being sold at mainstream stores means it isn't just an ultra niche product. And I won't have to spend hours upon hours tweaking the device to get the experience I want.
And why do companies have to put buttons above the trackball. The player 1/2 buttons could have been put off to the side allowing you to play golden tee like most players like to do.
This looks like a nice price and deal.
Currently prices are on par with each other ~ all around $150ish: Atari@ microcenter, Legends Gamer pro, and this. So all good choices.
It was this controller 20 years ago, which had me thinking of getting one of these some day. But I didn't want to pay $250, so I finally got the LGpro 2 months ago for $99, and really loving it after holding out 20 years. (I purchased a second one since I liked it so much & price, positive reviews, and built in Coinopsx function to get 1700+ games, & community support on reddit, discord, and youtube.) But LGpros are sold out new in most places, only found used, open box, and refurbs for $130-150ish.
I think the Atari and this x arcade controller may have pros and cons vs the Legends controller, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple things better on these controllers vs the legends, and vice versa. As long as we are all happy & able to play the same games, having the same fun, then it's good to see all these choices. Some Atari microcenter reviews stated that it is better than this x arcade. (I found it for similar price on Amazon, but it lacks pinball buttons.).
(I think the amount of lag is something that may vary in all of them, and depends on multiple factors, & based on different setups, so ymmv for everyone...
also quality control in joystick, buttons, trackball smoothness rolling, etc may vary in 3 models, and unit to unit..).
