Get back the High Scores you deserve!

Thanks to modern technology, today’s multi-cade cabinets can provide the comfort of having many of our favourite childhood games combined within one unit. This includes games that were originally programmed for and equipped with either specific 4-way or 8-way joysticks. Playing both types of games on the same cabinet with just one type of joystick can turn into a quite frustrating game experience.

Based on sophisticated engineering and modern technology, the GRS TOS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor provides an easy-to-use solution that allows switching between joystick versions on the fly, just between different games.

Optimal Compatibility

The GRS TOS Switchable 4-to-8-Way Restrictor is compatible with GRS flight/ball top joysticks. It works with many Arcade1Up, AtGames, and iiRcade cabinets.

Multifunctional Design

The lighted 2-in-1 Arcade button with coloured status indication reduces the consumption of valuable control panel space and keeps you informed at any time about the actual setting.

Adapt the lighted 2-in-1 Arcade button to any colour that fits best with your cabinets' design and tastes.

The permanent dual-mode allows simultaneous usage of software automation and manual control. Enjoy the comfort of automated restrictor setting while having the option to manual override whenever you want (note: automation only on supported platforms).

The controller board supports up to 4 joysticks per cabinet.

Use an optional second 2-in-1 button as a USB-keyboard key to take control of your emulation and frontend software.

Super Easy to Install

The ease of use already starts with the plug-and-play installation. Just replace the existing static restrictor plates of your cabinet's joysticks with our motorized restrictors, add the 2-in-1 arcade button to your control panel and connect everything with the provided microcontroller board and you are ready to go.

Comprehensive Software support

While the basic functionality does not require the installation of any additional software, there are several optional software packages available that support advanced features. Those are:

tos428config

Configuration utility to customize appearance and behaviour of the tos428 components (e.g. colour of the button, finetuning of restrictor angles, requires Windows)

Must-have for any arcade enthusiast

This product is literally a game changer! I used GRS restrictor gates on my Acrade1Up mods and AtGames Legends Ultimate products. Finally uou canj play games the way they were intended to be played! The new flight stick restrictor gate works just as great as the standard product. It's a must-have product for your arcade!

Works great but just one issue

The switchable 4 to 8 way restrictor for the tron stick works great. The software allows you to fine tune the restrictor position. The Retropie software allows the restrictor to change 4 or 8 way depending on the game which is great! The only issue I have with it is when I need to switch the Tron stick to the ball stick, I need to completely remove the restrictor. The restrictor is thicker than the original restrictor so you can't just reach in to turn. You need to remove the restrictor or use pliers to unlock the stick.

GRS Tron Flight Stick 4-to-8 is awesome, and so is GRS/Thunderstick Studios Support!!!

I’ve been waiting for this 4-to-8 switcher for a while. The first one I received had some issues where it would fall off the joystick playing something like the Light Cycles in Tron aggressively. I mentioned it to GRS/Thunderstick Studios and within a week I got a new replacement with a proper design change that fixed the issue. Really amazing to see this type of support and product improvement input taken from a customer any more these days.
