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). The gun instead tracks a white border generated around the edges of the screen. 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. MiSTer FPGA added support for the gun in 2024.
Reception VG247 called it "an incredible piece of technology". Ars Technica noted: "[...] the gun works, and it rocks. Just don't go into this PC-exclusive hardware experiment expecting plug-and-play simplicity." 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." 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.
