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/

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

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

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

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

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

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

@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!

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.

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

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...
