Although the graphics look crisp on this smaller display, its surface is reflective. While it’s no OLED display, the F&F’s 17-inch LCD screen is plenty colorful and immersive up close. As far as design goes I just have a single nitpick: I’d prefer a metal finish on the pedals, however the plastic has proven to be plenty durable so far.Īs a whole the cabinet is of a much higher quality than the company’s older generation “Golden Tee” and “Final Fight” machines I’ve purchased. Even when I aggressively pushed around the four-speed shifter there was no noticeable wobble, so you don’t have to baby the cab for fear of it falling apart or toppling over. I experienced no sway on my loft’s notoriously slippery carpet as I repeatedly smashed down the gas to kick off a drift or jump. Despite not being secured to the cabinet, the gas and brake pedals at the bottom stay securely in place on your floor. Each side button provides a satisfying click when selecting car views or customizing your vehicles. While the wheel feels a bit smaller than in the arcade, it’s grippy and comes complete with vibrating feedback. The cab’s overall structure is impressively robust and the neon colors found on the side panel art are vibrant-it’s one sexy looking unit overall. Power through the build and you’ll be pleasantly rewarded.

I had to reopen the cab after finishing the installation to fish out these shorter power cables and unscrew around the monitor to cut off the remaining screen protector film. For example, the manual doesn’t warn you about how to properly run the marquee and speaker wiring behind a specific panel section at the top, or that you have to remove the screen protector film prior to assembly. That’s not to say the pieces aren’t of high quality, but the included instructions could be better. From grooves requiring force to line up properly to accidentally snapping the joint holding the speakers and lit marquee together, it took about 1.5 hours to assemble. I’ve purchased and built five Arcade1Up cabs over the past few years, and this one took the longest. Setting up the electronic aspects is plug and play: simply attach the wheel, pedals, speakers, and screen to a single board behind the monitor. The only tool you need to build it is a screwdriver to secure bolts-wooden dowels help you outline and place the pieces. Each piece is clearly labeled and neatly organized.
