Premium Hardware That Matters

The MiniBeast Lux features a stunning 21.5″ IPS display protected by tempered glass, offering crystal-clear visuals from any angle. The full-size control panel extends on all three sides moving those annoying edges away from the playing field, ensuring comfortable, ergonomic gameplay with authentic arcade-grade components.

The brains of the operation is the Alpha+ gameboard, supporting everything from classic arcade titles to PlayStation and Dreamcast games like Daytona USA. With encoder board pre-installed, you’re ready for future plug and play upgrades – whether that’s a gaming PC, Android box, or other hardware.

Design & Build Quality

The MiniBeast Lux isn’t just built to play – it’s built to last. With black laminate surfaces covered in premium vinyl wrap, powder-coated aluminium edges framing up the LED marquee and easy to access rear door and hinged front panel. The Lux offers a professional finish with simple future customisation potential.

Hidden hinges, locking clamps an no visible external screws maintain the sleek aesthetic without sacrificing functionality, while the subtle fading underbody LED lighting system with its own switch adds that perfect touch of arcade ambiance when you need it.

Gaming Experience
