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.
