[KB-001] Which wireless dongle do I need for Pinball Classic VR?

Product: Wireless Dongle | Platform: VR | Confidence: High

Answer:

The Gen 2 wireless dongle is required for Pinball Classic VR. The Gen 1 dongle does not support VR pinball titles and will not work properly with this game.

The Gen2 Wireless Dongle enables low-latency wireless play, is especially popular with VR and living-room setups, and is a simple upgrade that adds flexibility without changing how the controller is normally used.

To identify your dongle version:

• All standard Arcade2TV-XR bundles currently ship with a Gen 1 dongle by default. The Gen 2 dongle is an optional upgrade. The Arcade2TV-XR bundle is expected to ship with a Gen 1 Bluetooth dongle, which is normal and does not indicate refurbished or used hardware.
• Gen 2 dongles are available separately on the Xgaming website, or included with the X-Force Haptics Kit.

If you have a Gen 1 dongle and want to play VR pinball titles, you will need a Gen 2 dongle. The X-Force Haptics Kit includes a Gen2 Wireless Dongle as part of the package, so a separate dongle purchase is not required when buying the kit.
