Easy to install and cable. Everything works, only mapping the keys is trickier than it could be in my opinion, but doable. Lights all work. Interestingly not all the buttons are wired the same, so you may have to swap the Red and Black on a few. I found most were red cable to the red side, but some were the other way around. This is just to get the lights working, as they are LED and require the polarity to be correct. Very happy with the end result. Enough buttons to allow you to choose colours of buttons and I added a couple as suggested by Youtubers, and there are enough in this kit to allow you to do it. I had a small issue and contacted the seller through desertcart. They responded immediately with good solid advice which sorted my very small issue. Nice to get such a product and service from China. Review: Great quality and reasonable price - Really easy to set up. Microswitches feel great and the lights are a bonus. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 12 years.

Microswitches feel great and the lights are a bonus. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so very good! *by B***E on 18 May 2018* So far, so very good. I'm back to the 80's and my childhood dream of owning proper arcade machines like those from Big. Well, instead of course nowadays we can do it with a Raspberry pie running Retropie. I bought this set of two player buttons and have built a test assembly to try out one of the sets and I have to say I'm very impressed with the results. It's a proper retro feel to the joystick and buttons, they illuminate nicely thanks to an LED backlight. I powered one set off of the Raspberry Pie with no issues, and Retropie detected the controller board with no problems. Can't say much about longevity or wear and tear yet as I've only just got it setup. Cables are all good quality, and the microswitches rotate out of the housings easy enough. Be advised that you remove the microswitches in order to mount the buttons in place and you're likely to put some of them or all of them in the 'wrong way round' which simply means the LED will not light in this orientation. As the instructions say, just swap the power lines round and you're back up and running. ## Frequently Bought Together - EG STARTS Arcade DIY Kit Part 2x 8 Way Joystick + 16x LED Illuminated Push Button + 2 Player + Coin Buttons for Raspberry Pi 3B Model Project DIY Red & Blue - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (4GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/80024200-arcade-diy-kit-part-2x-8-way-joystick-16x-led](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/80024200-arcade-diy-kit-part-2x-8-way-joystick-16x-led) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
