tl;dr - it's a fine looking replica at around 3/4 scale, and by far the best I've found. Clickier sound than original, and the restrictor isn't quite right for light cycles.First, for anyone having trouble with "not centering" - you have to lock the handle in place. Someone already posted a video, but on the UNDERSIDE, push the plastic ring up and rotate 90 degrees, which will lock the handle in place and it will center just fine (it's not designed to be used in the unlocked position).Second, the included wiring harnesses are for retrofitting into an ATGames cabinet. If you're using it for any other purpose, well, you should expect to be on your own. There's a ground pin, and one pin for each switch - just wire them up to a USB encoder or picade or whatever. If you don't know how to do that, then maybe you should tackle a simpler project. This is not advertised as being a plug-and-play USB controller, nor an arcade or JAMMA replacement, so it's not really fair to down-rate it because your specific use case isn't covered in the (admittedly cryptic) manual.Really the only complaint I can lodge is that it doesn't -quite- replicate the behavior of a real Tron stick in the corners. An arcade Tron is mechanically engineered so that the corners are hard (but not impossible!) to get into - if you're playing the light cycles on an original cab, it's not easy to accidentally land in the corner unless you force it. The circle restrictor on this joystick helps, but honestly I don't know how you can replicate the exact behavior without significant engineering (beyond a restrictor plate). I've had some success with mappings on an Ultimarc ultrastik, but then I don't get this great reproduction handle... Pick your poison.

manual is pathetic. if you’re using a traditional pinout board, forget it. terrible support to boot.to the person who posted they saw a post online that said that many of the light wires were installed backwards, can you post that link please. i’ve got the trigger to work but no light.

Bought this product and the description says that it comes with a USB Encoder...it does NOT come with it, so I had to buy it separately. The instructions that came with it, only showed what to do if you were installing in an ATGames cabinet, which was no help with a Raspberry Pi or PC, etc. that it specifies it will work with. I then had trouble getting the lights to work until I saw a post online that said that many of the light wires were installed backwards. As soon as I switched the wires, it worked. I contacted the seller twice on different subjects, and each time they said they would get right back to me, but NEVER did. I don't recommend this product unless you have experience.

!This is the cat's behind if you want to get an accurate feel for Tron the arcade!I purchased the Joystick a spinner, an arcade kit, rubber feet, and a 4 port USB hub off amazon here. The arcade kit was too shallow for the Tron stick. So I used the top to bolt it down properly and salvaged the cardboard box the Stick came in so I had a proper case for it. This worked so well I got another and put them together for Battlezone and the dual-stick games! As you can see gorilla tape was a complete must!! To finish it off, I decided to go a cheaper route and just get a USB Snes Controller and position it for Start, Coin, and action buttons. Put the rubber feet on the bottom and it's just awesome! It's ambidextrous for lefties too!Tron and Battlezone are a pleasure now and feel exactly as they did in the arcade. Zaxxon and Gorf are amazing!Dual Joystick games like Robrotron and Smash TV are perfect for this!The spinner as it is set up with the SNES Controller are perfect For Achanoid and Tempest!The manual for the stick is a bit vague so google 3D Printed Tron Control Panel using the Glen's Retro Show. For the best tutorial.This is a Must for MAME. I know that the stick works with a raspberry pi.This was quite expensive but worth it!

The handle, trigger, and base feel very solid and appear to be very well made, plastic doesn't feel cheap.The original Midway sticks (which I own several and have rebuilt in the past) that this is based off of was very large and bulky on the bottom, because it went into a dedicated cabinet, and also used leaf switches.While I do prefer leaf switches, this has a switch mechanism that is very similar to Sanwa JLF or Seimitsu sticks and has a nice clicky feel to it.The LEDs are a nice touch but a little bright for my taste they are attenuated to use a 5V connectionThe included bubble decal is a nice bonus and looks great.My favorite thing about this stick besides it's performance is the inclusion of the extra gates and they are easy to swap out on the fly which makes this stick very versatile.I'm using this with my own encoder that I purchased previously, while it was nice that one was included with a wire harness, I don't personally need it.I only have 1 small complaint and that is I wish there was maybe 1 or 2 more buttons on the handle for Discs of Tron, but the handle can be easily modded.Overall I highly recommend this if you love the original Tron arcade game and want a good experience playing it when accompanied by a good spinner. The price is a bargain for what is included. It's also great for games that had similar controls.
