“The build was surprisingly easy with very few surprises and the result is fantastic. perhaps a little on the expensive side, but I didn't mind paying for the peace of mind that the design was proven and simple.
It's now a permanent fixture in our living room beside the fish tank and looks lovely.”
“Awesome product. Easy to assemble and works great. You need too research a bit yourself on how to get games and buttonmappings working after assembly. Buttons and joystick are not high end brands, but they do the job well enough for home use. You may want to pimp it a bit with better graphics and more LEDs”
“+/+/+/+/+ EXCELLENT — I regret not buying one sooner. Premium waggle/wiggle factor round the joystick parts. Crisp and sensitive buttonfeel throughout. BRIGHT and LOUD (or quiet if you turn it down a bit).
MARVELLOUS — The packaging is remarkably nice. Building the Picade is a lot of fun. Powering it up is a delight. Using it is a hoot. I love it.

“After some initial confusion/mishaps on my order it was shipped and i received it here in Sweden after 5 workdays.
Very nicely packed and in excellent condition at arrival.
I was pleasantly surprised at high quality of the product. Nice box art, poster, marquee and artwork
The estimated time of two to three hours was spot on. Took me 2 and a half hour from start to finish. Built it with my seven year old daughter who was liked to help and loved the stickers and pin ;)
Some extra screws and parts are included in case you loose some of the tiny things.
The instruction is good but take your time and read it carefully or else you will miss something. Some steps could maybe be more explained in detail but overall easy to follow.
Installed RetroPie on a 64GB sdcard and ran the Software setup for the Picade HAT.
Worked straight away and was up and playing in no time.
Have to say i also was pleasantly surprised at sound quality from the HAT and the small speaker.”
