Polycade Sente Wall-Mounted Arcade Game
The Polycade Sente is the ultimate multicade arcade machine, blending classic retro gaming with the power of a modern gaming PC in one sleek, powder-coated steel cabinet. Designed for both home game rooms and commercial installations, it delivers a full-size arcade experience with a slim, wall-mounted profile that fits virtually anywhere. The Sente comes loaded with more than 3,500 games – retro classics, console favorites, and modern titles like Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat 11 – all organized through the intuitive Polycade AGS software.
What truly sets the Sente apart is its unmatched modularity: swappable arcade controllers, a swappable computer bay compatible with the included Mini PC, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or a custom ATX PC, and a growing ecosystem of optional add-ons. Pro-grade Sanwa joysticks and buttons with co-designed Brook controller boards ensure every input feels authentic, while hidden pinball buttons, customizable LED backlights, and a keyboard drawer round out a machine that’s as practical as it is impressive.

FAQ
Mounting the Sente is very similar to mounting a large TV. The included bracket attaches to wall studs using the provided structural screws, and the arcade cabinet hangs securely on the bracket. All necessary hardware is included – bracket, screws, T25 star bit, and an optional security bolt that prevents the unit from being lifted off the wall. We recommend having a second person help with the lift. For a step-by-step walkthrough, Polycade provides an installation timelapse video on their website.
The Polycade Sente includes over 3,500 games – a curated mix of retro arcade classics, console titles, and modern games. The Polycade AGS software includes a built-in game store where you can add more titles at any time.

Yes! The Sente’s computer bay is modular and compatible with the included Mini PC, a custom ATX PC, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and more. This makes the Sente a future-proof platform – you’re not locked into one system. Note that the Nintendo Switch, custom PCs, and KVM switches are sold separately.
Both configurations use the same AMD Ryzen 7 6850U processor. The Basic PC includes 8GB DDR5 RAM and a 256GB SSD, which is well-suited for retro gaming and many modern titles. The Upgraded PC doubles the RAM to 16GB and increases storage to 1TB SSD, offering more headroom for larger game libraries, more demanding modern titles, and long-term expandability. If you plan to use the machine heavily or commercially, the Upgraded configuration is worth the investment.
Absolutely. The Sente is designed with commercial environments in mind. It includes two standard payment device mounting locations compatible with bill validators, coin acceptors, credit card readers, and amusement card readers. The installation can also be secured with an internal bolt to prevent unauthorized removal. An optional Commercial Kit with a lock and screen protector is also available separately.
Yes – the Sente’s controller panel uses a proprietary panel swap system that makes swapping controllers quick and easy. Additional controller modules are sold separately and include options like a trackball, spinner (SpinFlight), yoke, 4-way retro joystick, dual stick, and more. This means you can play the classics with the exact controls they were designed for.
