JunkFood Custom Arcades has introduced the Slider, a modular arcade controller designed to let players switch between lever fight stick and leverless layouts. This flexibility allows gamers to adapt their hardware to different fighting game styles without buying separate devices. Buyers who travel to tournaments or share a single console for multiple genres will find the switchable design practical for their setup.
Modular design allows switching between lever and leverless layouts
The Slider operates as a single peripheral that accommodates distinct control schemes through its modular construction. Users can swap out physical components to modify the layout, which eliminates the need to purchase a new controller for each configuration. The device targets players who want versatility in their arcade stick setup.
Specifications
- Layout: Modular (switchable between lever fight stick and leverless)
- Connectivity: USB-C (industrial strength stainless steel)
- Compatibility: RP20240-based board or Brook add-on
- Warranty: Lifetime warranty on USB-C port
Technical details include a USB-C port built from industrial strength stainless steel to withstand heavy use. The controller supports two main compatibility paths: an RP20240-based board for users with existing passthrough dongles, or a Brook add-on for fully integrated system compatibility. This dual approach gives owners choice in how they connect the device to their consoles or PCs.
JunkFood Custom Arcades is offering a lifetime warranty on the USB-C port with no questions asked. This coverage addresses durability concerns for a component that sees frequent plugging and unplugging during transport. The company will showcase the Slider at the EVO tournament on June 26.
Pre-orders for the Slider begin on Friday, June 26, at a price of 129 USD (around $129). The cost will increase to 149 USD (around $149) when the product officially launches. Early buyers can secure the device at the introductory rate before the standard price takes effect.
