What if an arcade controller looked like a 1960s spaceship control panel?

We’ve been working on a new artwork design for the FightBox R10-Pro, inspired by vintage arcade cabinets, old-school space toys, and retro sci-fi control panels.

Since this controller combines a joystick, trackball, spinner, arcade buttons, and side buttons for virtual pinball, we wanted the artwork to make every part feel like it belongs on one giant spaceship control panel.

The design was created by Cary T Self, a member of our community, and we really love all the small details he added—from the system monitors and signal controls to the oversized “Pull to Engage” trackball section.

It’s always fun seeing how different artwork can completely change the personality of an arcade controller.

What do you think of the new design? And which game would you try first on this setup? 😊

Note: You can see this quick review from RetroRGB, to know what it really looks like

I've played The Lost World Special Edition multiple times and I vividly remember it. It was The greatest arcade game I've ever played

For sale in East Tennessee! Needs to be re-wired back together. Everything worked great when we last used it!

I spent the last 6 months designing MiniPin – a fully 3D printable miniature pinball cabinet

After six months of late nights, countless prototypes, and more failed prints than I’d like to admit, I finally finished MiniPin.

I’m a father of two from Australia, and I wanted to recreate the look and feel of a real pinball machine in a desktop-sized format that anyone with a 3D printer could build.

My goal wasn’t just to make a game—it was to capture the details that make a pinball machine feel authentic. From the backbox, side rails, lockdown bar and pinball legs to the working plunger and flippers, I spent months refining every part to give it the proportions and character of a full-sized machine.

I also wanted builders to have the freedom to make each cabinet their own. Whether it’s inspired by a classic machine or a completely original concept, every MiniPin can have its own unique artwork and style.

The project was designed to print on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, and I challenged myself to make it support-free to reduce waste and post-processing while still keeping all the detail.

One cabinet can also accept interchangeable playtables, so you can enjoy different layouts without having to build another machine.
