Unlock Enhanced Gameplay with X-Arcade Spinner Add-On Kits
Take your gaming experience to the next level with precision spinners, designed to bring classic arcade games to life. Choose the Spinner Add-On Kit that fits your setup:
Perfectly designed for Arcade2TV-XR or Tankstick VR Controllers, this kit seamlessly integrates dual spinners into your setup without requiring additional cables.
• Compatibility: Arcade2TV-XR or Tankstick VR Controller
• Installation: Straightforward attachment to the controller’s pre-existing ports.

• For Tankstick with Trackball: Spinners are integrated with the existing trackball system via a built-in mixer function.

• Output: USB-only (PS/2 port present but not supported).
Key Features for Both Options
• Precision Control: Adjustable sensitivity settings (default: 1600 CPR) with DIP switches for 400, 800, or 1600 CPR.
• DIY Installation: Requires tools such as screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, and arcade plastic nut removal tools.
• Mixer Functionality: Combines spinner and trackball outputs into a single USB connection (enabled by default).
• Firmware Upgradability: Both options support firmware updates for enhanced functionality and compatibility.
• Game Compatibility: Works seamlessly with retro arcade games and emulators.
Installation Notes
1. Both options require basic DIY skills and attention to detail.
2. Installation time is approximately 30 minutes for each option.
3. Ensure all steps are followed carefully to avoid damage during the process.
4. Tankstick with Trackball Units: Spinners integrate into the existing system using the built-in mixer.

Important! When installing the Spinner Add-On Kit to your Arcade2TV-XR or Tankstick VR, you must use the shorter screws included in the kit. Do not reuse the longer screws from your original Quest mount — doing so may cause the screw heads to snap off during installation.
We’ve received reports from users who accidentally used the wrong screws and damaged their face panel.
✅ Use the short screws provided ❌ Do not use your original Quest mount screws

Sweet Add-on
Hey, if you've already spent some money to set up your arcade, why not just finish the deal with these spinners so that you can play all the arcade games you want the right way? The added usb ports right on the panel are a very convenient bonus too if you wanted to add some controllers for 4 player games (though I have not tried out that feature yet). I'll also note that I had a very pleasant experience with X-Arcade service in making sure that these were installed correctly. So, thank you!

Very easy to install and will spin forever!
The actual install took less then 20 minutes and most of that was watching the 10 minute install video on YouTube and removing the panel screws. I will caution you to not over tighten the support screws, like I did, on the underside of the spinner with the washer. The screw broke off in the hole and I’ll need to extract the nearly flush screw from the plastic without damaging it. All that to say, be careful, follow the instructions, don’t force anything and you will be extremely happy with your new addition to your Xarcade2TV.
