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.
• Output: USB-only (PS/2 port present but not supported).
Option 2: Tankstick Spinner Add-On Kit
Designed for Tankstick models, this kit offers compatibility with Tankstick with Trackball, Tankstick Duel, and Tankstick Solo. Note:
• For Tankstick with Trackball: Spinners are integrated with the existing trackball system via a built-in mixer function.
• For Tankstick Duel/Solo: As these models lack a trackball, you’ll need to drill a hole in the Tankstick casing to route the USB cable externally.
• Compatibility: Tankstick with Trackball, Tankstick Duel, and Tankstick Solo
• 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.
5. Tankstick Duel/Solo Units: Drilling a hole is necessary for USB cable routing.

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
If you have any questions during installation, please contact us at support@xgaming.com — we’re happy to help!

Easy to install, directions could be a little better, I used the wrong screw and it broke off in the module, but everything is secure and functioning perfectly. The meta quest controller holders work great too. I look forward to more upgrades and fun products

Make sure you use the right screws!
My package came with silver and black screws. Unfortunately I picked the black ones and they're wrong, and I actually snapped a screw head, even without much torque. However, customer support replied to me same day (on a Sunday!) and are taking care of me.
Other than that, was an amazingly easy install process (which bodes well for the upcoming haptic addon pack that I'm buying Day One). Spinners feel fantastic.

Great add on just waiting for the other orders to arive
I have purchased the bundle for vr but so far I can only say that the spinners and adapters arrived , I will give the spinners a try once the arcade2tv bundle arrives - but I am sure all should be working :)

Pretty cool addon
Pretty cool addon, got it with the quest 3 3d printed adapters (which I was happy to find out can be spray painted with decent results from their yellow color - used gray spray and then white and they look pretty good). Do note you'll have some limitations using these with a mister fpga (as the spinners report as x and y axis on the same mouse device) and most cores dont like it BUT cant fault the spinners for that. Overall, pretty cool kit, happy with it.
Oh, be careful attaching the replacement screws that hold the spinners to the a2tv-xr. I think you are supposed to use the ones that ship with the spinners and NOT the original ones that come with the a2tv. I overtightened them and one of the screws broke off - that was pretty disappointing...
Anyway, still very happy with the joystick and kit, which is why I'm giving it 5 stars.

Game Changer!
Excited to have these on my original Tankstick, and they work great! Opened up games I wasn't able to play before like Tempest, Arkanoid, and Warlord just to name a few, now my arcade system is that much better, love it!
