Solid Cabinet Work
Our cabinets are built with the strongest and most durable materials, using 3/4" plywood for enhanced longevity. Unlike other builds that use MDF, which is heavier and weaker, our plywood construction ensures long-lasting quality. Additionally, our CNC precision milling process ensures precision and attention to detail. The cabinet is then coated with a protective layer of black laminate for added durability.
RGB LED Buttons (pre-programmed)
This product features buttons that illuminate selectively, adjusting to the game at hand for easy use and an authentic retro gaming experience. The buttons automatically and immediately change color or turn off as needed, without any extra setup required on your part.
Durable Backlit Control Panel
The control panel is coated with a durable layer of polycarbonate - a thermoplastic known for its strength and laminated properties. This material is widely used in bulletproof materials and jet plane canopies, making it an ideal choice for protecting your graphics from dust, grime, and spills for an extended period of time.
Our backlit control panels feature the same innovative design as NASA's, boasting full color and high contrast capabilities. With the high contrast version, all dark shades appear completely opaque while only allowing light or white shades to shine through its backlight. This product replicates the screen-printed or laser-etch effect found on fighter cockpit controls. Full color designs will cause the entire control panel to light up, creating unique visual effects. The backlight LED colors can be controlled through an RF remote, providing a wide range of options with addressable strips and hundreds of colors and strobing effects.
RGB LED Trackball and Spinner
This arcade machine features a versatile spinner that enhances gameplay for classics such as Tempest, Breakout, and 720. The trackball is also a great addition for games like Marble Madness, Golden Tee, Centipede, and Missle Command. Additionally, the spinner can be utilized as an analogue steering wheel for all MAME driving games. The included frontend has a dedicated category to easily navigate to games compatible with this hardware.
Featuring RGB LED technology, this trackball caters to gamers and arcade enthusiasts seeking a top-tier gaming experience While the Analog Spinner creates a nostalgic touch and genuine arcade feel, ideal for retro-inspired gameplay.

Manual
BOOTUP
To power on the Paradox Arcade system, plug it into a 120v grounded outlet and use the supplied power cord. The Main Power Inlet switch turns on the entire system, while the bootup/shutdown button on the top left rear section starts the computer. If using the standard 43” monitor, use the remote to power on the screen (not needed for Gsync monitors).
SHUTDOWN
For proper use of the Shutdown Function, press the small button located on the top left rear of the arcade machine. Avoid hard resets as they can corrupt essential input functions. Use the button on top of the cabinet rather than the main power switch near the power cord to turn off the PC.
CLEANING
Ensure a thorough and gentle cleaning of your Paradox arcade system with a microfiber cloth. Microfiber effectively removes dirt and debris from the marquee plexi and glass bezel, as well as the control board where everyday grime can build up.
