About Arcade2TV‑XR MAX

Arcade2TV-XR Max — also known as Tankstick VR Max — is X-Arcade's next-generation two-player arcade and pinball control deck. One deck carries the control panel of a full arcade machine and a real pinball table: plug it into your Meta Quest, PC, Mac, Steam Deck or supported console and play in minutes.

  • Two machines in one deck — full-size two-player arcade controls plus dedicated pinball controls: three flipper buttons per side, a real spring plunger, and accelerometer nudge
  • Arcade-grade hardware — two commercial-grade joysticks, center trackball, two front-mounted spinners, and chrome-ringed buttons — with the Player 1 and Player 2 start buttons in white
  • Built-in X-Force haptics — four shakers with a physical rumble knob, plus integrated speakers engineered against power-supply noise
  • Three ways to connect — wired USB-C (2–3 ms link that charges your Quest while you play), Bluetooth, or the included 2.4G wireless dongle
  • Five driver modes on one physical switch — Keyboard, D-input, X-input, Pinball, and VPX. No drivers, no apps, no menus
  • All-black finish with chrome-plated button bezels, RGB lighting on a rear control, and two internal USB ports for GRS / Thunderstick Studios mods
  • Customize without the fuss — web-based key mapping tool for PC & Mac, or on-device button swap and factory reset with no computer needed

Choose your setup: the MAX controller on its own — ideal if you're upgrading from the original Arcade2TV-XR or already have a stand — or the controller with its matching full-height pedestal for a free-standing arcade.

In the box: the MAX controller, a single power supply, the 2.4G wireless dongle and the USB-C OTG cable — plus everything that shipped with the original Arcade2TV-XR. The Controller + Pedestal option adds the matching pedestal (simple assembly).

A VR headset, games, PC, console, and console adapters are not included. Pinball driver mode is single-player. Arcade2TV-XR Max is not available at Micro Center retail stores.

What’s in the box
  • The Arcade2TV-XR MAX controller
  • Arcade Ranger — full VR game, included at no extra cost
  • Pinball FX VR — full VR game, included at no extra cost
  • Power supply — one plug runs everything
  • 2.4G wireless dongle
  • USB-C OTG cable (charge + data + audio)
  • Everything that shipped with the original Arcade2TV-XR
  • Bundle option: the matching full-height pedestal (also sold on its own)
Shipping, honestly
This isn't a gamepad in a jiffy bag. The MAX is a full arcade control deck — heavy, rigid, and larger than anything carriers price as a standard parcel. It travels in an oversized, double-walled box engineered to arrive undamaged.

We could bury that in the sticker price and call shipping “free.” We'd rather show it, priced per setup and stated again at checkout: $33 for the controller on its own, $44 for the pedestal on its own, and $77 for the controller + pedestal bundle. The controller and the pedestal each ship in one oversized box; the bundle ships as two oversized boxes with two tracking numbers, so they can arrive on different days. International rates are quoted at checkout.

How it works in VR

One deck. An arcade and a pinball table.

In the headset a full cabinet — or a full table — stands on your floor. Reach out and your hands land on real sticks, real flippers, a real plunger, exactly where you see them.

ARCADE PINBALL ONE PHYSICAL MAX DECK
Aligned 1 : 1
In the arcade

Sticks, trackball, spinners

  • Cabinet height, cabinet spacing — you never hunt for a control.
  • Twin spinners with real momentum for the trackball‑and‑spinner classics.
  • Two players side by side on one deck.
Arcade Ranger included — Meta Store code.
On the table

Flippers, plunger, nudge

  • Three flippers per side — stage a ramp shot like a pro cabinet.
  • A real spring plunger: skill shots by feel, not a button.
  • Shove the deck to nudge; haptics answer through your palms.
Pinball FX VR included — Meta Store code.

Meta Quest headset not included. Both titles ship with either controller setup at no extra cost — already own them? Email support@xgaming.com and we’ll waive the game cost.

One deck. Two ways to play.

Everything your hands touch.

Arcade — full two-player control layout
Way one

Arcade.

Real sticks, buttons, trackball and spinners — the control panel of a full arcade cabinet, plugged into what you already own.

  • Two commercial‑grade joysticks — the real thing, not toys
  • Chrome‑ringed buttons with a proper arcade click
  • Center trackball + twin spinners for the classics
  • Fighters, shooters, retro cabinets, trackball games
Pinball — flippers, plunger, nudge and rumble
Way two

Pinball.

The most complete pinball control surface we have ever shipped — flippers, plunger, nudge, and rumble from four audio-driven SSF shakers. Pinball FX VR is included, so the table is waiting on day one.

  • Three flipper buttons each side — like a pro cabinet
  • A real spring plunger to launch the ball
  • Shove the deck to nudge — it feels the bump
  • Four audio-driven shakers — rumble under your hands with Pinball FX VR and every pro pinball app
  • An upgraded flipper solenoid — every press lands with the deep, authentic “thunk” of a real flipper, redesigned from the earlier haptics kit's sharper click

This spinner turns as you scroll. Imagine it in Arkanoid — or steering Disc of Tron.

One cable to the headset — controls, sound and charging
VR, wired

One cable. Plugged into the game.

One USB-C cable to your Quest does everything at once: instant controls, game sound, and charging — so long sessions never end on an empty battery. Steam Deck and handhelds ride the same single cable — controls and sound in one plug.

All-black finish with chrome-plated button bezels
Design

Blacked out. Chromed up.

White got dirty. Black gets serious. The MAX trades the white shell for an all-black finish that shrugs off wear — ringed by chrome-plated bezels on every button, with the Player 1 and Player 2 start buttons picked out in white.

  • All‑black deck and shell, chrome‑plated button bezels · white Player 1 & Player 2 start buttons
  • Front touch panel with electronic lock — no accidental presses
  • RGB lighting on a dedicated rear control
  • Moddable inside — two internal USB ports for GRS parts
  • Remap it anywhere — web‑based mapping tool (PC · Mac), or button swap right on the deck with on‑device factory reset

Quick answers

Before you order.

Do I need a VR headset?
Short answerNo. The MAX is a full arcade controller for TV, PC, Steam Deck and consoles on its own. A Meta Quest headset adds the VR arcade and the VR pinball hall — a full cabinet or table standing in front of you, with your hands landing on real controls exactly where you see them. Both VR games we include, Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR, need a Quest to play.
Which headsets work?
CompatibilityMeta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro. Connect with one cable for the most responsive link (and charging while you play), or wirelessly over Bluetooth or the included 2.4G wireless dongle.
Are any games included?
IncludedYes — two, at no extra cost. Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR both come with the MAX, so the VR arcade and the VR pinball hall are ready the day it arrives. This is deliberate: the MAX was designed to play arcade and pinball in VR, and these are the two titles its flippers, plunger, nudge and spinners were built around.

Already own one or both on your Quest account? Email support@xgaming.com and we will waive the game cost — you should not have to pay for a game twice.
Is it hard to set up?
SetupNo — and it's much simpler than the original. Plug in the power, flip the switch for how you're connecting, flip the switch for driver mode, play. No drivers, no apps, no menus. The only thing you assemble is the pedestal, if you ordered the bundle.
Can I remap the buttons?
CustomizationYes — two ways, and neither needs a driver install. The web-based key mapping tool at xgameroom.com/arcade2tv-xr-configurator runs in your browser on PC or Mac: plug in, remap any control, done. No computer handy? Swap button assignments right on the deck itself — no PC needed — and a built-in factory reset takes you back to stock any time. It's the simplest customization we've ever shipped.
Is the pedestal included?
OptionsIt comes with the Controller + Pedestal option, and you can also order it on its own — Pedestal Only is the same matching full-height pedestal at $100, for MAX owners who started with the controller. The Controller Only option is designed for a table, desk or stand you already own.
How does pre-order pricing work?
PricingPre-order pricing is a $50 launch discount on either controller setup. Controller + Pedestal — the complete experience — is $649 at pre-order (MSRP $699). The controller on its own is $549 at pre-order (MSRP $599): it's the same MAX deck without the pedestal, ideal if you're upgrading from the original Arcade2TV-XR or already have a stand. The pedestal on its own is $100 — a flat price rather than a launch discount. Controller prices return to MSRP after the pre-order window. Both controller setups include Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR at no extra cost.
What do I need to supply myself?
Bring your ownThe MAX is the controller. A VR headset is not included — you use your own Quest. For flat-screen play you use your own PC, Steam Deck or console, and you supply your own games there. In VR you don't have to start from nothing: Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR are both included at no extra cost. What you get from us is the control deck itself — with features that don't exist on any other game controller in the world.
How much is shipping, and how does it arrive?
ShippingStandard US shipping is priced per setup — $33 for the controller, $44 for the pedestal, $77 for the controller + pedestal bundle. This is heavy, oversized arcade hardware, and carriers price it by size as well as weight. The controller and the pedestal each ship in one oversized box. The bundle ships as two oversized boxes with two tracking numbers, so they can arrive on different days. International rates are quoted at checkout.
What can I play?
GamesIn VR: Arcade Ranger and Pinball FX VR — both included with your MAX at no extra cost. Real flippers, plunger and nudge on one, a full arcade deck in the other. Beyond those two, the MAX also works with the wider VR arcade library, including Quantaar, Age of Joy and Arcade Time Capsule. On PC, Steam Deck and consoles: pretty much every classic arcade-stick game there is — fighters, shooters, beat'em-ups, trackball and spinner classics.
Can I buy Arcade2TV-XR Max at Micro Center?
RetailNo. Arcade2TV-XR Max is not available at Micro Center retail stores — it's available exclusively here.
