Do you prefer the X-Arcade or the HotRod SE joystick?

Why, because it's purple or because their marketing department has a more artsy photographer? ;)

If it's the carpentry skills that hold you back, buy a control panel blank from Gamecab or another vendor. Toss in some Happ Supers $7 ea, Happ Buttons $1.29 - 1.39ea, minipac $40 and have something better than x-arcade. Unless of course you plan on using the x-arcade with a PS2, XBOX, or GAMECUBE (then just replace the joys and buttons).
Good Luck.

Keep in mind that the HotRodSE may not be compatible with your PC motherboard.
I ended up out $30 original and return shipping when I had to send mine back for a refund.

I bought an X-arcade single controller panel before I found this site. I have since built my own cab and a couple other panels. I can tell you that I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER X-ARCADE product. (Disclaimer) In My Opinion - X-arcade's marketing is very misleading. They say it comes with ROMS, but in reality it comes with nothing. They give you a link to a European Website where you download the ROMS. They say there is a 30-day money back guarantee. When I wanted to send mine back they told me they would e-mail me an RMA # and I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I also tried to buy a wiring harness from them so I could use the encoder with better controls AND THEY FLAT OUT REFUSED.
In fact, I am so disgusted with X-gaming that if you send me $100 bucks I will build you your own controls panel that will blow the X-arcade away. Just out of spite.
Oh now I did it, I lost my happy thought and can't fly anymore. Darn X-gaming >:(
