Can you REALLY Build an Arcade Stick for $20?

Описание: Are you ready to add the power of ceiling fans and lube to your arcade experience? Want to understand what any of that’s about? Find out as I show you how to build a $20 DIY arcade stick.

There’s plenty to be skeptical of in these extremely inexpensive DIY arcade kits that online retailers like Amazon are flooded with. But is the skepticism warranted? Or are we all missing out? In this video, I go over what actually comes in these boxes. I also compare them with similar products, if not the ones they’re copies of. After a product comparison, I show what it takes to make a case out of a plain plastic box. Once it’s together, I go over some gameplay and give my thoughts on the entire project and if the build is worth it.

What do you think? Have you used one of these types of sticks before? Did I change your mind? Did I miss anything? Let me know!
