In the past, Cyber Gadget blessed us with arcade sticks like the Cyber Arcade Stick and even the Retro Freak Arcade Stick. This time, Cyber Gadget is back with a vengeance. With that being said, allow us to introduce the Arcade Freak!
The Arcade Freak has eight primary buttons in the Vewlix layout. Under them, there is an extra primary button. As for the six small function buttons, they are for:
- Quick save
- Quick load
- Code freak
- Overclock
- Option
- Home
At this point, it is important to note that the Arcade Freak is designed with the Retro Freak console in mind, so its function buttons cater to it. Otherwise, it is also possible to use the arcade stick with other consoles. You see, the port that it uses is the USB-A kind.
The Arcade Freak allows the use of macros. So, you can macro a bunch of buttons into one, and you can also use this feature as a turbo mode.
Turbo allows you to press a button once, resulting in multiple inputs with little effort from you. About the Arcade Freak’s joystick, whether you set it to left stick mode or D-pad mode is up to you.
Moving on, there is an informational LCD screen featured on the Arcade Freak. It can allow you to do things like:
- Pick a console to connect to.
- Activate or deactivate macros.
- Adjust wifi settings.
- Get system updates.
No computer needed!
The sides of the Arcade Freak have grooves that allow you to carry it more conveniently. Also, six screws hold the top panel in place, so if you need to unscrew it, it should not be too much of a hassle.
On a closing note, the Arcade Freak has an interesting mixture of black, blue, and white for the colors of its case, joystick, and buttons. If you are a retro gamer, be sure to give this arcade stick a look.
