X-Arcade is gearing up to launch the X-Force Haptics Kit, a DIY upgrade designed exclusively for the Arcade2TV-XR controller.
X-Arcade has already impressed us with their Arcade2TV-XR experience and with the upcoming X-Force Haptics Kit, the controller could be getting a major update for VR pinball enthusiasts. The DIY upgrade kit aims to bring a whole new physicality into your virtual pinball sessions. These modules, unlike traditional motor vibrations, convert audio signals from a video game into real-time, dynamic vibrations. The kit includes not only these modules but also two built-in larger speakers to improve your VR Pinball experience with sounds coming directly from the controller. The haptics also work independently from the speakers. X-Arcade claims that they deliver undistorted audio playback when combined with vibrations generated by the haptics.
Additionally, X-Arcade is adding electromagnetic solenoids to simulate real-world flipper feedback, aiming to provide a more tactile response with every button press. The motion sensor can be used to detect a physical push, allowing you to play the game as if it were a pinball machine. X-Arcade claims that this upgrade is designed for gamers and the X-Force Haptics Kit can be easily installed. Pre-orders will be available soon for the X-Force Haptics Kit. Pricing and a release date have yet to be announced. So, whether you’re navigating the
