Great way to get into Arcade cabinet on the cheap OR a way to leverage this buy to get a Rasberry Pi 3 B+ for a project since they're currently unobtainium.

I went to Dallas location and bought (4) for friends and family. Very nice build quality.

Trackball and buttons alone worth the price. Add in a Pi 3 B+ at today's market price
and it's a downright STEAL.

Reserve online; pickup in store.

Great deal! I have the stick without the pi, posted the deal here myself a while back, and the stick is really great quality. I will definitely put it up there with my Tank Stick.

Dang, no shipping and no mirco centers in NC.

I have a Retro Pie set up with Pie 3b+ and an image from Arcade Punks. Over 8000 games. It's really fun. I need to buy better controllers for it. The cheap ones off Amazon stop working after a while.

Does this work without the Pi? I'm not interested in the Pi but do want a Xinput arcade stick that I can use with PC. Would this work?

Where can you buy a pi 3b+ by itself without any price gouge markup?

I second this. Unless something has changed very recently or you have a secret supplier you want to share… I don't think so.

Edit: meant to quote the other post. Part of the appeal for me in this deal is the Pi…

Curious if anyone knows a compatible cabinet that this works with...otherwise it's kind of awkward having it sitting on a table or ottoman. I know there used to be one for the tankstick, but I don't think it's sold anymore.

Yes can anyone more experienced comment on this? I would love to buy this for my 5 year old.

Also, how easy is it to hack/modify this to add more games?

What's the bottom of these like?

I bought one of these:

When they were super cheap with the intention of building a Pi arcade and drilling sticks in directly into the stand. Might be able to save that headache if it would fit (basically, what are the dimensions on the bottom of the unit because I see some overhang at the top)
