Hey Everyone ,
I own a kiss LE and Metallica premium.
Was thinking about getting a shaker motor for one or both of them whats everybody’s take on them? And Do they cause problems if I go with one?

It pretty good in Met to. Just wait until you start sparky multi ball. Never played kiss with one tho.

I like them. They haven't caused anything to rattle loose for me. In a home environment, I think you'll be fine.

I wonder whether the shaker can cause pre-mature, or speed up, wear on the cabinet joints.
I wonder whether shaker motors are used to make shorter ball times, or cause the ball to go down the sides more often.
Do game designers use the shaker as a tool or a non interfering polish?

I love shaker motors. It just adds a physical feel to the pin. Makes it come alive a bit and adds some depth so to speak. In any event, I think it provides for a more complex or engaging experience.

I believe shakers were used in games for specific reasons, like shaking the ground when dinosaurs were running. I added one to my Mustang premium (shaker was standard in Mustang LE) that shakes the game when the engine noise sounds. But I do not see the need to force a shaker into every pin.

Kinda lame you need 2 diff'rent types of shakers for those game so you can't just get 1 and test it out.
In the end it's a shaker & it does what it says. It's alright but not the most mind blowing thing. Of course they are only $79 bucks so just pick one and order it.

Met has harder music and it's a better game so my vote is Met
