Product description

The traditional ATARI Arcade Yoke controller back in 1983 used potentiometers to generate control output for the Star war arcade machine. It was made with a combination of complex machining parts and mechanisms. This includes having to use a gear drive mechanism, potentiometers and a complex wiring harness design. The GRS Flight Yoke uses a complete redesigned mechanism, overcoming the limitation of the original design. The GRS design includes the following:

1. Non-contact mechanical structure with magnetic sensing technology to drive the Yoke controller.
2. No gears, no potentiometer. Maximize precision, durability and the stability of the yoke controller.
3. Support new games!! ( Elite dangerous, STAR WARS: SQUADRONS etc.)The GRS Flight Yoke uses the standard USB interface. It will be recognized as gamepad controller on Windows/Linux/Raspberry Pi and can be used in any emulation platform that supports an analog joystick or mouse with 6 independent buttons including the functional buttons. So it’s more than just a yoke controller.
4. Physical Inertia Centering mechanism, a more accurate result and less re-calibration needed for the analog joystick.
5. 2 Buttons + 2 Triggers + 2 Functional Buttons (6 total) are recognized as Independent gamepad controller buttons.
6. Complete metal structure is used(handle grips are made with high strength hardened engineering plastic).
7. Mouse mode: Allow more game flexibility. The GRS Yoke can be used for games that use a mouse over an analog joystick.
8. Vertical direction reverse switching: Allow user to switch the direction of pitch without digging into the input configuration.
9. Arcade1UP Star War Arcade ready. Arcade Quality replacement yoke for your Star War Arcade1UP.
10. Atgame compatibility with external build such as PC/Raspberry PI via OTG
11. Commercial Arcade Compatibility. Potentiometer signal output.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Feels almost *exactly* like the original
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2021

    Back in my wayward youth (early 1980s) I played this game an insane amount and I got very good at it. When I was 17 I put one token into the machine at my local arcade, put on some headphones, and didn't stop playing until they closed the place over four hours later. I had the high score of a little over 65 million on that machine. Fast forward to last year and I was pretty excited to get the Arcade1Up Star Wars machine - I really hadn't played this game since the late 1980s because arcades disappeared and while there are several very good emulators for Star Wars none of them played correctly because the yoke control from the original just wasn't something you can replace with a joystick or normal flight yoke. Believe me, I tried.
    Anyway, I just replaced the flight yoke that came with the Arcade1Up machine with this one and it is *awesome*. Seriously, this thing plays just like the original did. The Arcade1Up flight yoke is okay but it is too stiff in all directions. It's possible to play the game with the factory yoke (and it's waaaay better than anything else that I had tried in the last 30 years) but this one from GRS is PERFECT. All the muscle memory came back to me with this yoke and suddenly I was able to clear all the towers again without difficulty. Thank you so much for making this yoke - it's a truly wonderful reproduction!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, quality construction

    Having loved the Star Wars vector arcade games since the 80s, i’ve never quite managed to get the same experience playing MAME versions with an arcade stick.
    The GRS flight yoke changes that… it’s a reassuringly heavy unit, which performs beautifully, to recreate the “arcade feel” of the original. So much, in fact, that I plan to construct a sit-in cabinet solely for the Star Wars games.
    USB plug and play allowed me to be playing immediately.
    Also works with lots of other games - Outrun, Afterburner, Marble Madness, Paperboy - Any game that requires an analogue control.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely essential upgrade for the Arcade1up Star Wars Arcade cab!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The stock OEM yoke for the Arcade1up Atari Star Wars Arcade cab is serviceable for what it is but if you really want to experience true arcade style control then GRS has you covered with their arcade quality flight yoke. The difference is literally night and day. Made from all machined metal parts it has the heft of the vintage arcade yoke and the button controls are simply more responsive. Since upgrading my game has improved considerably.

    It’s super easy to install. Just remove the stock yoke and wire harness and attach the GRS flight yoke with the 4 included long screws and secure with the included washers and nuts underneath the plate and simply plug in the wire harnesses into their designated areas on the control board. That’s it. Easy peasy!

    Shipped much faster than the expected ship date. It arrived in about a week after ordering. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase! Making the upgrade is like making the jump into hyperspace! Yahoo!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Hardware!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Ok Glenn is a genius! This thing is heavy as an ox . Very sturdy piece of hardware. It was quite a challenge to get this thing fastened on my control desk! But still this thing is amazing! I would definitely recommend it. But perhaps invite a friend to help you fasten it to a control deck!
    Important note! I originally screwed it flat on my control it is impossible to maneuver in some/most games with it flat, so I had to angle it off the control deck by making a mount out of brackets and poplar wood!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Analogue Axis feel great, digital buttons pretty poor feel
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Bought this for project, quick test analogue axis feel good, the actual buttons (face and triggers) feel pretty bad, triggers feel very cheap/thin with annoying loud click, very slow if needing quick response.

    The face buttons on each grip are just mini sticks which just push down, poor implementation and just feel weird, should of used regular controller face buttons. This whole controller could do with a complete overhaul, more buttons and better quality buttons, analogue triggers and also needs a POV Hat (more than enough room), I am told by GRS they are working on an add on, but time would tell, should just redesign from group up and should also not pre apply the face sticker but include seperate as optional as its quite ugly and tacky.
