Note for generic MOD:

This product was initially designed for the Atgame ALU and Arcade1up MOD community. If you plan to use it in a generic PC/PI setup, we highly recommend purchasing our encoder board included in the DIY single player kit. Each stick requires 2 x compatibility wiring harnesses to work with our board. For tutorial on setting up the flight stick with our encoder board, please watch the following video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1trqni03q7tQOKaWnX7HXsdtktpFCHvzi/view?usp=sharing

Some aftermarket encoder boards may not be compatible with this flight stick due to insufficient power supply. Please contact Support if you have any questions.

Futuristic Arcade Flight Stick for the Retro Gamer 

The classic TRON, GORF, flight simulators, and space games thrilled countless gamers with their groundbreaking gaming physics. The GRS Arcade Flight Stick recreates the same gaming experience while offering gamers a more ergonomic and easy-to-maneuver setup. From flying to shooting, do it all with precision and ease with the GRS Arcade Flight Stick.

Plug and Play Flight Stick Design

No permanent soldering, wire cutting, or modding of your hardware. The GRS Arcade Flight Stick is purely plug-and-play in design. Just connect it to your AtGames Legends Ultimate or similar cabinet unit and get gaming.

Maximum Compatibility 

The GRS Arcade Flight Stick is compatible with AtGames V1.1 and V1.0, making it the perfect choice for gamers of TRON, After Burner, GORF, and Zaxxon. The all-in-one kit features a switchable joystick restrictor that allows you to select 4 and 8 direction controls. The flight stick can also be modded with a microswitch, offering a trigger directly under the player's finger.

Designed for Functionality and Durability 

Like any other product from GRS, the GRS Arcade Flight Stick is designed not only to enrich your gaming experience but also to give your Arcade 1Up an industrial upgrade. Made with high-quality plastic, this flight stick can handle all your intergalactic escapades, wars, and adventures. 

Package includes: 

Please be aware that the video above contains some outdated information. When the kit was first released, it included an encoder board and was priced at $49.99. However, as many customers did not require the encoder board for their setup, we have since removed it from the kit and reduced the price to $39.99. If you would like to connect the kit to a PC or Raspberry Pi, you can either purchase our encoder kit and two compatibility wiring harnesses from our website at https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/grs-led-single-player-arcade-diy-kit and https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/ts-tfs-01-compatible-wiring-harness-kit, respectively, or use your own encoder board.

"tron" stick

Ive had 2 real Tron cabs over the years - Also a Satans Hollow and GORF which used the same style stick. Aside from the clearly inferior plastic base and stick pivots, the Stick itself just feels AWFUL! it feels smaller than the original as well as so many sharp points on the handle that were a lot more smooth than the original.
I'm not expecting this to be a 1:1 replica, however, you could have at least made the handle "FEEL" more true to the original than your interpretation.
I have yet to mount it, I just hope it performs better than it feels and looks.

Nearly Perfect

I finally got around to purchasing/installing my first tsticks controller: the GRS Arcade Flight Stick. This item replaced the flight stick on my a1up Tron cabinet, which is my favorite a1up cab with Star Wars being 2nd, and Rampage being third. Despite some audio issues with the Tron cab, the other two in the top three have been rock solid since day one. Wish I could say the same about other a1up cabs that I had purchased (I long-ago stopped purchasing their products due to lack of quality and endless malfunctions). While this stick did not line up with the holes in the control panel, making for a much more laborious install given the mdf board turns to dust if overworked, I eventually got the stick mounted. I either misread the instructions, or for some reason it recommends turning the restrictor ring before installing, which I did, which ended up being not right. As for the product:

1. It's far and away a much higher quality (materials/construction) flight stick as compared to the a1up factory installed controller, which was creaky and flimsy. This bad boy is solid and smooth.

2. It's too small: I wear size XL gloves, and the grip of this controller scrunches my fingers unfortunately. It's not a deal breaker, just wish it had the same form factor as the a1up factory installed stick, which is larger and more comfortable.

3. While it wasn't an easy install for me personally, the price and plug 'n' play functionality of this controller is appreciated. You definitely feel as if this is a good deal on price given the high-end look and feel of this product. I don't know how they do it, but glad they do!

Overall, glad I pulled the trigger (see what I did there?) on this controller, well worth it!

Great control for Legends Ultimate

Very easy to install. I recommend watching the video as you do it and also consulting the instructions at the same time. The video is a little outdated and a couple things are different but with both it all makes sense. The directions say to connect the trigger to the B button but then all the other games you play with the stick will be off as most games have the A button for action. So, at this site's recommendation, great Customer service!!, I switched the wires to hook up the A button to the trigger then used "button mapping" inside the Tron game to change the B button action to A button. Now I can play all the games with the Tron stick. I like it so much I'm ordering a second one for the right side to play tank games or 2-player games. I won't be able to light up both sticks at once but that's ok.
