Performance

Some who switch from a regular controller to an arcade stick may do it for the buttons and not necessarily the joystick, which is where the ThumbPro Arcade delivers. In fact, this could be a good transition controller for those wanting to make the leap toward arcade sticks.

On the right is a case with eight highly responsive Sanwa buttons, and on the left is a handle with a directional pad. Four other Sanwa buttons can be found in the back, and two more Sanwa buttons can be found on the side.

The handle is both adjustable and lockable by moving it to your liking and then locking it using your fingers to tighten the big nut and vice versa. Quite conveniently, there is a panel under the entire product to place it on your lap if you prefer playing that way. Under the panel are slip-resistant pads.

Hardware

The ThumbPro Arcade is powered by a Brook PCB, and the USB is type A. As the ThumbPro Arcade is a work in progress, there is always room for improvement before we can lay our hands on the final product.

Appearance

The creator seems to be constantly experimenting with different designs. Either way, the buyer will be able to choose between a cheaper non-plexiglass version and a fancier acrylic version.

Conclusion

This is perhaps the best way for a fighting gamer to transition from pad to an arcade stick or hitbox etc.

  • Unique innovation
  • Diverse compatibility
  • Adjustable grip
  • Sanwa parts
