Arcade Extreme Console: Review, Wireless Controllers Test

The Arcade Extreme Console takes the spirit of the Arcade X1 Console and adds the comfort of wireless controllers. We tested the range, responsiveness and ultra-compact format of this version.

Technical specifications

• 📡 2 wireless 2.4G controllers — range up to 10 metres
• 📦 Ultra-compact and sturdy format
• ⚡ Near-zero latency thanks to the 2.4G connection
• 🔋 AA batteries included for the controllers

Wireless makes a real difference day to day

No more cables trailing between the sofa and the console: the 2.4G controllers offer welcome freedom of movement, especially when playing with others on the same screen. The connection stays stable even at a good distance, with no noticeable lag.

An even more compact format

The Arcade Extreme's shell is designed to slip easily into a drawer or bag, making it a good option to bring along to a friend's place or on a weekend trip.

Compared to the wired version

The only real difference from the Arcade X1 Console is the controller connection. The rest of the experience (ease of use, sturdiness) stays the same.
