Product Description:
If you have a first-generation X-Arcade Joystick with Keyboard PS/2 support, this kit allows you to upgrade to the most current release of our X-Arcade Electronics and add USB functionality.

We have discontinued the previous solution of a USB Adapter and instead provide the same USB PCB featured in all current generation X-Arcade Joysticks.

Upgrade To Current Generation X-Arcade Electronics!
The first generation X-Arcade Joysticks only provided support for Keyboard PS/2 connections. With the evolution of the computer industry, these ports have been phased out and most devices connect simply via USB on desktops and laptops. 2nd generation X-Arcade Joysticks made the switch and feature both Keyboard PS/2 and USB support, but this it allows you to upgrade your existing X-Arcade to also add USB support.

The bundle includes both PCB and the USB Cable. You will need to pop open the bottom of the X-Arcade, disconnect the jumper cables from old PCB and replace. The entire process should take about 10 min and requires little or no technical experience.

How do I replace the PCB board in the X-ArcadeT?
Before you begin, first open the X-ArcadeT controller.
  • First disconnect the X-ArcadeT from any systems, and remove the serial cable.
  • Next turn the X-ArcadeT over on your lap, or on a surface that allows the joysticks not to have pressure on them.
  • Now remove the screws on the bottom of the X-ArcadeT that are recessed in the rubber feet. Your X-ArcadeT may have small rubber covers over the screws in the center of these rubber feet, if so just pop them out.
  • Finally, remove the bottom panel. This is easiest done with a flat object like a butter knife (careful not to cut yourself) or some other wide flat object. Simply pry in between the cracks of the X-ArcadeT base and the panel, being careful not to scratch that beautiful veneer. Now you have access to customize, or change joystick modes.

    PCB Cable replacement procedure:
  • Remove the two white molex connectors from the PCB by simply pulling them off carefully.
  • Using a screwdriver or similar, punch the black wire clip from the inside of the controller, outward.
  • Replace the cable in the wire clip with the new one, and press the wire clip firmly back in place.
  • Reconnect the two molex connectors in their respective plugs on the PCB.

    PCB Board replacement procedure:
  • Remove the 4 phillips-head screws around the PCB.
  • One at a time, remove the white molex connectors from the PCB by simply pulling them off carefully, and putting them onto the new PCB.
  • Replace the 4 screws you removed in step 2.
