If you missed the first two articles in my journey in modding the Atari Ultimate Dual Fight Stick with Trackball, you can catch the part where I added an internal battery bank and power switch here and the other mod was adding in external USB ports as well as an HDMI port here.
Today, I’m going to replace the buttons with LED buttons and also put a nice little LED light to let me know if the Raspberry Pi is still drawing power. Let me start by saying the buttons included in the stick feel really good and are responsive. They worked well in my testing of the Fight Stick, but I wanted to add a little flare to the setup.

A long time ago, I got my first arcade fight stick to review in the X-Arcade Dual Joystick. Having grown up in arcades, I loved how it was all built and ready to go for me to use on my computer to play some old games with. A month ago, I was browsing Microcenter’s website and the Atari Ultimate Dual Arcade Fight Stick with Trackball caught my attention. It looked similar to my X-Arcade Tankstick and I was in the market for another arcade setup that was portable. By portable I mean the setup housing a Raspberry Pi inside the housing, so all I d need to do is take it someplace with a TV and plug it in for us to play some classic games.
