With this mini pinball you could basically build one yourself with 3D printed parts get an encoder board connect it to a tablet and get some arcade buttons and you are basically getting the same things as this kit.
I always had the idea of doing this with a large flat screen TV imbedded into a table then cutting the holes in the side of the table for the buttons and using a raspberry Pi to run a pinball table emulator.
Nice review, I wonder why the hell the stickers are not pre cut and such long screws? I have arcade pinball and others on my 8" tablet so this could be fun to transfer all to such setup.
Great review, I have this model as well. I also thought it should of included some double-sided foam tape for the encoder board and the stickers on those edge pieces were impossible to remove. I bought a Samsung tablet for the cabinet and it works great. I also added a USB splitter to split power and data to charge the tablet and power the USB encoder board at the same time. Overall, it's been a great purchase.
I bought the first 3d-printed version, and while I did like it I'd prefer the more premium - but will I double dip? What I would like is to get the new version and the the stuff for connecting a second screen. But money, money, money.
I’ve got mine set and configured absolutely to perfection- but I can’t solve the charge/usb otg at same time Issue! Have you solved it yet? A splitter seems to make the tablet charge and stop and charge and stop over and over again
Excellent review thank you.. You mentioned the vibration feedback, but does the Sharpin itself reproduce the feedback within the encoder board ? or is it the tablet which needs to have vibration ability ?
Looks nice. I have the mini V2, and I bought a bluetooth speaker that I mounted with velcro onto the bezel just above the top of the screen. The speaker points towards me, and it looks like a mini backbox at the same time.
I could actually "resize" my screen with some utility. I can't remember what it is and I probably had to jailbreak my tablet to do it (which I also needed to get the games for free, if you know what I mean).
@@WickedGamerCollector Thanks for the quick response. I hear you on that. iPads are expensive but I already have one and don’t have an android tablet which is the reason I was leaning towards the iPad version of the Sharpin Mini V3.
@@WickedGamerCollector Pinball arcade used to allow you to have free plays for a short period of time. I like that..If you like then you'd buy a pack..like $20 for 4 or 5 tables and there were like over 60 tables (mainly arcade pinballs)..the graphics were top notch. I bought 2 packs..10 tables..they're all gone because I didn't back up on my tablet.
It really depends - do you want a mini pinball or not? Do you have the ability and/or are you willing to take the time to make it yourself? As long as he/she is in business I guess the market has spoken. You could challenge him/her with your own great designs - you seem to see a good business case, so please go ahead.
It's a serious piece of junk. Don't waste your money on it. No instructions, very poor support, and enjoy trying to figure out the wiring on your own! Yep, you heard me. B
Good idea and form factor, and I modified it myself by cutting out a bigger top and bottom part for a 27' screen.

The "HiPad X" 😂🤣🤣.
How can I figurate the controll settings of zen Pinball and pinball arcade. Because I can't use the buttons, only touch controll works
Same problem, did you suceed?
I feel like there are more premium alternatives for just a little more money.
It's neat, but I don't think it offers enough to be worth the price.

Great work!

I would have loved to see the add on phone marquee at the top functioning.

Build your own. You can do it for under a hundred euro and the screen will be three times bigger.
It can be bigger and cheaper that is a fact.
next time heat up de stickers befor removing and you can pull them of easy (Fön or lighter )

Bluetooth? So you can live with the lag?
@@Evilkingus I'm talking about bluetooth for sound, not controls. I can't perceive any lag in sound.
@@qui-gon-george I am also talking about sound. It is impossible for me to play with bluetooth-audio, but great that you don't mind the delay.
hoe zit het met vertraging in de flippers? ik lees in de manuels dat dat er kan zijn? ik hoor het graag! bedankt voor je video! vr gr
vooral bij de retro max ben ik benieuwd (gezien op je andere video)
cutting the stickers and putting them on seems to be quite a struggle
Can you post the bezel opening dimensions... my tablet will fit, but wondering how much of the screen will be visible. Thanks!

Thanks for the great review. Have you tried the iPad version of this and can you comment on it?
I don't have an Ipad .. and they are so expensive.
For me the android version is a cheap solution.

These things are a total ripoff - I can't believe anybody buys this junk.
