Atgames Legends Ultimate ALU Quadplay Spinner Drill Jig and Covers

The ALU Quadplay is a blast but doesn't have spinners pre-installed. The Quadplay board doesn't have a spinner connector that would allow the connection of the OEM ALU spinner so a USB spinner(s) is required. The GRS Arcade Spinner is a great option for ~60$ from Amazon. If you would like to add this to your Quadplay, you'll need the GRS Arcade Spinner Ultra, a 28mm (1-1/12") hole saw and a powered USB hub.

There is about 3cm less space between the stick and buttons vs. the OEM controller but the drill jig places the spinner in an approximately similar location and hides a portion of the bottom under the bottom shell. I've also had no issues of running into the spinner top with either hand while playing.

3D print the drill jig and a cover for each spinner you are adding (up to 2) . Place the drill jig against the dust cover of the joystick and button A then use a small drill bit for the pilot hole (3mm or similar), then follow up with the 28mm hole saw using the pilot hole as a guide. I recommend cutting into the bottom cover slightly, so you can see what needs to be cut away for clearance to allow the bottom of the spinner to fit. I measured the cut-out needed and drew it onto the bottom cover made a first cut at the top of that with the same 28mm hole saw - careful, set the top of the hole saw to the top of the cut intended so the hole isn't too tall. A pair of wire cutters or a small saw will make quick work of the rest of the material to be removed.

There is room inside to mount the spinner to USB board (I used double sided tape) and neatly secure the cables. *Be careful to avoid where the bottom cover squeezes against the inside of the Quadplay - you can see imprints of those bosses so you can tuck cables around.

You'll also need to remove some material on the other side for the USB cables (this will be inside the ALU once the Quadplay is remounted).

*Pro tip - you can connect the USB hub to the same port used by the controller (main ECU behind screen), then connect the controller to the hub also. A 7 port hub is perfect for anyone wanting to connect 2 spinners, 2 light guns and a keyboard/mouse. The "Atolla 7-Port USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port" has an additional port for charging only, which works perfectly for the light bar.
