Gen2 Wireless Upgrade for Arcade2TV-XR (Tankstick VR)

The X-Arcade Gen2 Wireless Dongle is a direct upgrade to the stock / Gen1 dongle included with early Arcade2TV-XR systems.

It was developed to address real-world issues reported by users—especially compatibility with 3rd-party battery headstraps, lack of mode switching, and long-term durability—while adding new features that expand how and where you can use your Arcade2TV-XR controller.

⚠️ Important:

This dongle is designed ONLY for Arcade2TV-XR (Tankstick VR).

It does NOT work with other X-Arcade Tankstick models.

What’s Improved Over the Stock / Gen1 Dongle

✔ Improved 3rd-Party Battery Headstrap Compatibility

The Gen2 dongle resolves wireless stability issues caused by many 3rd-party battery headstraps, including popular models like BOBOVR.

You can now use extended-battery VR headstraps without random disconnects, interference, or pairing instability during gameplay.

✔ Multi-Mode Support (New Feature)

Unlike the original dongle, the Gen2 dongle supports switchable input modes, giving you far more flexibility.

Default Mode – Keyboard Mode

Required for Pinball FX VR
