The Sinden Light Gun is a light gun released by Sinden Technology in 2020 for the PC. It is compatible with LCD monitors and TVs without additional hardware (e.g. a Sensor Bar). There are optional upgrades to the gun like a recoil system, an arcade pedal (for use with Time Crisis games), and a holster. The gun was funded on Indiegogo and Kickstarter in 2019. [4] [5]
VG247 called it "an incredible piece of technology". [6] Ars Technica noted: "[...] the gun works, and it rocks. Just don't go into this PC-exclusive hardware experiment expecting plug-and-play simplicity." [4] Time Extension said: "The Sinden light gun works like a charm, is surprisingly accurate and [...] is capable of getting astonishingly close to the original arcade experience." [2] GamesRadar+ gave a positive review and praised the build quality and the design but didn't like the lack of screen space due to a white border around the screen, and criticized the overwhelming setup software.
