Every manufacturer's flippers have their own feel, and the flippers on the P3 are no exception. The P3 flippers also look different than others, because they're floating over the surface of the playfield rather than being mounted through it, and that adds to people's perception that they feel different. After playing a few games, almost everybody comes to the same conclusion - they work great.

Well, now they're even better!

We've come up with a combination of hardware, firmware, and software features to give the P3 flippers more power across the entire arc, more ball control, and more resistance to knockdowns. In our opinions, the P3 flippers with these updates are now the best flippers in the industry. If anybody has any lingering hesitancy about the P3 flippers, these updates will put those to rest.

These updates are already shipping out pre-installed on all new machines from our factory, and they'll soon be available as an upgrade kit for existing owners.
Pre-orders are open as of today at https://www.multimorphic.com/store/accessories/flipper-upgrade-kit/. Software updates will slowly roll out for all of our game apps.

As we do with all of our products and firmware features, the firmware updates to the P3-ROC will be released to the public for all P3-ROC users to use or not, as they choose. The firmware changes in this update do a little more of the heavy lifting than a software-only solution, but they aren't strictly required.

Flipper fade... we haven't experienced it or had any reports of fade by P3 users, even during multi-day events. I'm not privy to all of the engineering in the Spooky flippers and would prefer this thread not turn into an engineering discussion, but I can say this... little details matter, and we've spent countless hours making sure the P3 flippers optimize those little details. Every component choice in the assembly has an effect on performance... coil windings, springs, air flow, mass, actuation movement, etc. [software and firmware] drive parameters can affect it too. Our new firmware will probably help other P3-ROC users, but it can't overcome non-optimized engineering choices.

I believe that the P3 flippers are now the best in the industry. Others will definitely be able to leverage the firmware changes, but the mechanical details also have a large impact.
