Hardware is 5 stars, included documentation 1 star

First off, I love my Tankstick Max. It is my third X-Arcade controller, The other two I have had for I'd guess 20 years and they are going great even after getting abused in the most heated games of Robotron. I was going to mod my old tankstick with spinners and then I saw the max. My only issue it shipped with what looked like the same manual that came with my original stick from 20 years ago. Apart from no mention of the spinners, it didn't correctly tell me what the 4 position sliders do. I had to fumble around on the web to find out how to get alternate inputs to work. Still don't know if I can adjust the spinner sensitivity since I can't locate any documentation on them. They make great hardware and it lasts forever. I'm just irritated you couldn't even put a slip a paper in the box telling me to go online for updated documentation. Don't worry though, I still love you guys.

Same great quality as my 2002 stick

I purchased the original Tankstick in 2002, and it served as a great joystick. I did a USB upgrade to it back in 2016 when it came out of my old MAME machine, and kept using it til this year when it went to my son as a graduation gift and I got the new Tankstick Max. Great to see the same durability with the addition of a trackball and spinners.

Great product, bad instructions.

I bought the newest tankstick two weeks ago and love it so far. The biggest downside is the instructions that come with it are not updated for the newest model. I wasted 30 minutes trying to program keys based on the instructions and the internet came through as always.

Update the instructions and you get 5/5.

The joysticks are solid, the trackball is smooth and the buttons seem sound.

The one and only

That board from XGaming is all you need. Do not try to satisfy yourself with any cheap boards from China. You will not even get close to the quality of that tankstick!

Even better version of a great set of sticks

I bought the original dual tanksticks + trackball six+ years ago and have been loving it, but the keyboard-only output was limiting and I just didn't want the hassle of upgrading the pcb... so this version with the dual spinners (that are SO frictionless it's ridonk) and the Mode4 output was worth the upgrade.

I bought a Pi400 to use with it and so far, it's working great pretty much OotB. I also bought the spinner/trackball usb mixer - it had an issue, but XGaming support were right on top of it, very responsive.

Keep up the good retro work guys!
