The Pacto Tech 4000T is a control interface that connects arcade joysticks and buttons to a Windows or Linux computer, for up to 4 players. It emulates 4 Xbox 360 controllers using the XInput format. Games and retro emulators work without extra conversion software.
Wiring uses spring-loaded terminals and clearly labeled connections. No tools or complicated software configuration are needed. Players stay in the same order after a reboot or when switching USB ports.
The 4000T sends the control state to the PC every 1 ms. Turbo Mode pulses buttons 15 times per second for games that have no autofire. Twinstick Mode converts 4 joysticks into left and right sticks for 2 players. The 8-button layout can be remapped on the fly to a 6-button layout.
