Intec Gaming Switch Fighting Stick for Arcade1Up'S Digital Pinball, Play Your Switch on The Pinball, Modded Switch Joysticks Specially Designed for Arcade1Up

Put simply this is a fantastic mod kit that breathes new life into Arcade1Up pinball machines. The design of the cabinets are fantastic but the built in PCB/computer is just too weak.The first real sign of that weakness was the pixelation when running stock games. The A1Up display is a 1080p display but it’s running Android pinball apps at 720p and the text and some design elements were barely legible, a poor experience.This kit now allows me to utilise my Switch to play pinball in native 1080p plus I can run a much larger library of pinball games from Zen Studios.Note:• Some purists might not like the fact you lose DMD functionality for scores as the mini DMD display becomes a (mirrored) horizontal nav system for the Switch UI but the fact is you still retain DMD functionality on the main playfield screen and it isn’t a big loss.• The back solenoids fire randomly and can lessen the experience so I unplugged the back ones and retained front solenoids only and it works so much better that way (I really recommend you only plug in the front solenoids)• It’s a bit of a tricky install experience and is hampered by A1Up glueing cable connectors in place but get yourself a soldering iron and melt the glue carefully and it’s a lot easier• Pinball FX3 and Star Wars pinball are AMAZING but the newer Pinball FX app has rubbish graphics in comparison so awaiting an update to their visuals to really complete the all round experience

Takes longer to install than you might think, no because it’s difficult but because the instruction aren’t clear as some claim and arcade1up glue every connector together making it really difficult to remkve the exiting connects on OE boards.The solenoids randomly trigger detracting from the experience and there’s no solenoid triggering on Pinball FX. Star wars cartridge they trigger, they trigger on pinball fx3 and i haven’t tried zacharia app yet but will soon.It’s nice having access to loads more tables but i wish they sorted out the solenoid triggering better, that and the dmd issue make this a meh score. Inky worth doing if you really must, not worth it if your good with the stock machine or pinner mod.
