    Hey Scantron I've got a question. Have you tried an Xbox one S controller since upgrading to Windows 10? Since the Xbox one S is Bluetooth, I wanted to know if it would sync to the megacade without needing the additional dongle. I know that is a big deal for the windows 10 and would like to use these controllers as I also heard they work better via Bluetooth. Thoughts?

    I'm 6'5" and noticed when you were showing the LED light and showed underneath the cabinet that you had what looks like feet to hold up the cabinet. Did you do this to make the cabinet as a whole higher off the ground to play/see easier? If so is it safe? One of the things I'm worried about is being so tall. Normal arcade machines I have to hunch over and thats terrible for my back

    • @Scantron5k
      @Scantron5k  Před rokem +1

      No, I didn't add height to the machine but I know plenty of people who have. Nothing dangerous about it. I've seen people put 5in casters underneath which will raise the machine several inches if that's something you want to do.

It gives lighting inside of the cabinet and under the control panel as well.

      @@sschulz21 LOL, I'm not saying that you don't plug it into the computer, I'm just saying that I mounted it under the control panel, and I used a USB extension cable to run it from underneath of the control panel down to the computer. The control panel is detachable, so once you loosen the screws to remove the control panel, you can squeeze the cable underneath the control panel inside of the cabinet. That's where I grooved out a little notch in the wood so that the cable could sit in a groove without being smashed under the control panel.

I don't have rechargeable packs in my controllers, but if I were to purchase some, my controllers are already hanging right near the hub and can charge at any time. By the way, I tried reaching out to you by commenting on one of your videos after my livestream about 3 weeks ago. Your son kept asking about Five Nights at Freddy's and I didn't think it was on the machine. After you got off the livestream, another subscriber asked me to look at a computer game category and there was literally about five or six versions of Five Nights at Freddy's!
