I purchased Tankstick Max at Christmas time for a simple pedestal setup. The trackball was a little sticky on the X-axis, so they replaced it at no charge. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person and had trouble swapping out the trackball. X-Arcade said "no problem", and swapped out the entire panel for a new unit. Everything works great now!
Their service team responded quickly to my requests; I even received replies over the weekend!
I was a bit skeptical that it would work well. After a bit of tweaking, the INI, works great with my emulators. Well built. The documentation is a bit out of date.
Awesome!! Well worth the money! Customer service was outstanding!
Exactly what I needed in my life.
This is a wonderful controller that I'm adapting to an all in one Mame arcade console. There is plenty of room to built in a Raspberry Pi to run RetroPi.
