00:00Hey everyone, welcome back.
00:02If you are building your own arcade cabinet, you know the controls can make or break the whole experience.
00:08I've been hunting down the absolute best deals on arcade joystick parts for DIY cabinets so you don't have to,
00:14and I've narrowed it down to a definitive top 5 list that covers every type of builder out there.
00:19Let's dive straight in.
00:21Kicking things off at number 5 is this awesome 2-player wireless zero-delay USB adapter encoder.
00:27The biggest selling point here is obviously the wireless feature, which is super rare for DIY arcade builds,
00:33it completely cleans up your wiring headache.
00:36And for just $10.32, you're getting a flawless 5-star rated encoder that's sold nearly 5,000 times.
00:43If you're modding a Pandora console or just want a super clean setup without cables everywhere, this is a no
00:49-brainer.
00:50Next up at number 4, we've got a fantastic kit for the purists out there.
00:55This 2-player zero-delay kit comes loaded with genuine Sanwa push buttons and an arcade joystick.
01:01That's huge because Sanwa is the gold standard for authentic arcade feel, it's what you remember from the arcades as
01:07a kid.
01:08At $21.74, you're getting professional-level responsiveness in parts,
01:14and given that it has a near-perfect 4.9 rating from almost 5,000 buyers,
01:18you know you're getting something that genuinely works and holds up.
01:22Coming in at number 3 is an absolute bargain that's perfect if you love tinkering with multiple systems.
01:28This zero-delay arcade USB encoder works on PC, PS3, Switch, and Raspberry Pi, making it insanely versatile.
01:36It handles both 5-pin and 2.8mm button setups perfectly for a hitbox or standard fight stick.
01:42The best part?
01:44It's only $7.92.
01:48For that price, it's arguably the cheapest way to get a reliable, responsive controller interface into any DIY project.
01:55You can grab a couple just to experiment, that's how affordable it is.
02:00Okay, let's look at the top 2, starting with number 2.
02:04It's a full 2-player DIY kit featuring those nostalgic American-style joysticks,
02:09perfect for the classic 80s and 90s Street Fighter cabinets.
02:12The awesome kicker here is the LED illuminated push buttons,
02:16which immediately give your build that neon, arcade aesthetic without needing a master's degree in electronics to wire up.
02:22For $28.63, it comes with literally everything you need, encoders, cables, buttons, sticks,
02:29It's a complete main-ready package and probably the best overall bang for your buck full kit available.
02:34And finally, the number 1 spot goes to the ultimate builder's kit,
02:38the 30-piece Zero-Delay Encoder Arcade Joystick DIY Kit.
02:42Yes, you heard me, 30 pieces.
02:45This is incredible if you're building a custom bar top arcade for the whole family,
02:49starting a small business making cabinets, or need to wire up a massive custom control deck.
02:55Coming in at $55.94, it breaks down to just over a buck and a half per component, which is
03:01unbeatable.
03:02It has a perfect 5-star rating, is compatible with PC, PS3, Android, and Raspberry Pi,
03:09and honestly, once you factor in the bulk pricing, it's a hell of a deal that I couldn't not put
03:13at number 1.
