As we have embarked on the endeavor of building high-quality arcade machines, we discovered that many controls such as joysticks, did not meet our standards to provide what true “arcade-quality” controls should provide.
To resolve that, we have developed our own commercial grade arcade joystick. We approached this with the same meticulous care found with our Yoke controller and other parts, surpassing old standards to set new ones, ensuring that you will have a fantastic experience every time that you play.
While designed for our commercial games such as Avian Knights and future Alan-1 games, we’ve also designed it so you can drop it right into an existing MAME machine! The internal LEDs are programmable, so you can set them to the color or light-show that you wish, or turn them off.
The internal beauty of the Alan-1 Joystick also comes from the reliability. There are no microswitches that can get worn down here. This is designed using the Hall Effect(magnets), which allows for superior analog control and contactless operation.
Production is beginning soon on the Alan-1 joysticks, where you will be able to order them straight from the Alan-1 shop.
