Slikstik Quad vs Arcades R Fun Quad
« on: March 29, 2007, 02:23:26 am »
I'm considering building (well more like building from kits lol) a MAME cabinet.  One of my requirements is a 4 player CP and both of the CP's in thread title have the things that I was looking for

4 players for games
extra 4 way stick
trackball
spinner option
ect.

I am hoping anyone who might have experience with either (or both) of these premade CPs could give me some pros and cons to them.  Any input would be appreciated.

If it matters, I'll most likely be putting said CP in to a UAII kit.

From a customer service standpoint, I would avoid Slikstik. If you want more information, do a search...

I bought a full arcade unit at Christmastime from Arcades R Fun. Jack did a great job to help with the sale, stay on top of emails, and follow thru with a great product. There were a few issues we had and Jack really went the distance to make things right. Since you are evaluating the CP kit option I think you will get something that you love.

Arcades R Fun offers free custom layout design for their CPs.   This offers you much greater flexability then just getting a single set design.

I have an Arcades R Fun cabinet and Control Panel. I installed all the components in the cabinet and CP myself, but the craftsmanship on the actual cabinet and CP is top notch.

I've also been to the Arcades R Fun home base and seen the 4 player designs Jack has setup. They were also top notch. I don't think you can go wrong with Arcades R Fun products.

I appreciate the input from those who replied.  I looked into Slikstik more on this forum and understand why their customer service seems a bit rough. 

I'm going to start looking more into the arcades r fun quad and its customization.   Thanks again.

Yeah, that's the type of setup ArU is, whereas SS will do custom stuff - but at start of $50.
