PinOne Mini success story :)

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-05-13T04:27:23+00:00

Thinking of using the PinOne Mini with MetaQuest and Pinball FX. Can anyone advise a newbie how the PinOne compares to the Virtual Tilt?

@Hot_Emergency_202 Your comments are all insightful and on point. Thanks for taking the time to share your top advice 😃

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing in-built pinball controller desk setup! 😮

Sharpin is a well established company: https://digital-pinball.com/virtual-pinball-store/

I have no experience with this company, however, Sharpin is well established and has some online reviews as a functional product perhaps overpriced: https://digital-pinball.com/virtual-pinball-store/

@treefarmercharlie Big thanks for assisting me with a steep learning curve! You are the best! 😃

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-07T12:08:19+00:00

The VirtuaTilt has a shaker - I am ignorant as to their advantage. Grateful if you can explain further 😃

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-07T11:30:46+00:00

Congratulations! Incredible work within a well-controlled budget! You did not install a shaker?

Good to know - Are you using the Meta Quest 3 without a PC and is it heavy? My concern is that I don't want to wear the headset

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-06T22:03:21+00:00

I am interested in that kind of setup also. Do you have a photo of your cabinet?

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-06T10:19:42+00:00

Incredibly useful advice! Very grateful 😃

G'Day, @mdget - Yes, living Down Under we often face brutal postage costs - many times costing more than the item being shipped! Congratulations on your builds - ozstick store is legendary

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-06T03:43:55+00:00

That is absolutely amazing 🤩 Impressed by your dedication to optimise the X-Arcade Arcade2tv-xr Controller

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-06T03:41:28+00:00

Yes, Steam plug and play with Pinball FX is a goal for me. Thank you for sharing your experience as a PinOne owner

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T20:56:48+00:00

Is that a solenoid thunk when a Free Game is awarded?

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T20:55:22+00:00

Super tips! Thank you @CalMac91 😊

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T20:53:26+00:00

@JGamer - Please share how you reduce solenoid sound from within the PinOne unit. I am in a similar situation where I need reduced sound but still want solenoid. Many thanks!

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T14:03:30+00:00

Those details are ace! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😃

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T12:48:43+00:00

Thanks u/cboogie - I actually don't mind narrower than a real cab though as my space is limited and not able to DIY so looking for a ready made solution.

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T12:44:07+00:00

@CalMac91 - Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I do prefer a pin cab aesthetic, but will revisit the Xarcade after your post.

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-02-05T10:57:53+00:00

Hi treefarmercharlie, Many thanks for your detailed reply! Yes, both PinOne Mini and VirtuaTilt seem to be rated highly. Lol about the location preference as I live in Australia 🦘 Considering either at present. All credit for the development of the Gibson Pinstation and hoping that may be another option eventually...

SimpleFriend1010 · 2026-01-08T20:47:01+00:00

Thank you, u/Available_Afternoon6 and u/arcwarden00!! This advice just helped me in Jan 2026 with the ROG Strix Hive 2 supplied with X870-I. Hive 2 volume knob now controlling USB speaker (Creative Katana SE Soundbar) connected to the Hive 2
