WIK Comix Commercial Air Hockey Table – 6ft & 8ft

The Owner's Insights on the Comix Commercial Air Hockey Table

I'll be straight with you: this isn't the air hockey table you buy for the kids' playroom. The Comix is a commercial air hockey table built the way a working pub, club or arcade actually needs it built, a perforated stainless steel playing surface, a 260W blower running underneath it, and a cabinet that's taken more knocks than most furniture ever will.

Stand at the end of the 8ft table once that blower's up to game mode and you'll feel how fast the puck actually moves, it's a different game to the plastic tables you might have played on holiday. You can have the electronic coin mechanism fitted and locked down for paying customers, or switched off entirely and run it as straightforward free play.

If you're after something for occasional family use in a spare room, a simpler home table and the smaller 6ft size will suit you better and cost you less. This one's built for a table that earns its keep every night of the week.

Why You'll Love the Comix Commercial Air Hockey Table

• Perforated stainless steel playing surface – paired with the 260W blower, it keeps the puck riding true instead of catching or dragging mid-rally.
• Coin mechanism you can switch on or off – run it as a paid attraction with the electronic validator, or disable it for simple free play.
• LED lighting across the playfield, cabinet and overhead scorer – gives the table real presence in a dim pub corner, not just when the lights are on.
• Digital scoring, timer and sound – a proper scoreboard doing the counting, so nobody's arguing over who actually won.
• Polycarbonate centre screen – keeps stray shots and flying elbows off the opposite player without blocking the view of play.
• Choice of 6ft or 8ft – pick the footprint that suits your room or venue without stepping down on build quality either way.

Why You Should Consider a WIK Air Hockey Table

WIK build the commercial machines you'll actually find in working venues, not just show homes, arcades, clubs and pubs that need a table to survive daily use. Choosing WIK means backing a manufacturer that designs for coin-op punishment first, then adapts the same build for the home, so you're never buying a lesser version of what the trade uses.

Choosing Between the 6ft and 8ft WIK Comix for Your Room or Venue

Both sizes play the same game, just at different speeds and distances. The 6ft table has a 182 x 89cm playing surface, a sensible choice for a spare room, garage conversion, or a venue that's tight on floor space. The 8ft table steps up to a 220 x 110cm surface, giving faster, longer rallies that suit a pub, club or arcade where players expect the full-size game. If you're not sure which fits, measure the room first, both sizes need clearance at each end for players to move freely, not just the table's own footprint.

Both the size and the mechanism are genuine choices here, 6ft or 8ft, coin-operated or free play. If you're weighing up something more specific, a different setup or a venue with awkward space, give us a call and we'll talk it through, no pressure.

Coin-Operated or Freeplay: Setting Up Your WIK Comix for Commercial Use

The Comix ships with a COMESTERO RM5 electronic coin validator fitted as standard, ready to take paying customers from the moment it's plugged in.

 If that's not what you need, the same mechanism switches to free play in seconds, so the table runs exactly the same whether you're charging per game or letting people play for nothing.

It's worth deciding before you order, since it shapes how the table's wired in on delivery. A pub or club running it as a paid attraction keeps the coin mechanism live and lets the table cover its own running costs.

Set up for a home games room, spare room or family use, switch it to free play and never think about tokens again.

Is the WIK Comix Right for Your Pub, Club or Arcade?

If you're weighing this against a lighter home table, the real difference is what's underneath. The perforated stainless steel surface and 260W blower are built to run a busy venue floor night after night, not to sit lightly used in a spare room.

The LED lighting and digital scoreboard aren't just for show either, they settle arguments over who actually won and give the table presence across a dim pub corner or a busy arcade floor.

Switch the coin mechanism on and it earns its keep; switch it off and it's just as at home in a private games room. Whichever size or setup you're leaning towards, we're happy to talk it through before you order.

Room Size Requirements

The table footprint below is the table itself, not the space you'll need to actually play comfortably.

As a general rule, allow extra clear space at both ends of the table for players to move and swing freely, rather than measuring the room to the table's edges alone. If you're planning a tight space, particularly for the 8ft table in a smaller room, it's worth measuring this out with tape on the floor before you order.

What's Included

• 4 mallets – ready to play straight out of the box, no separate purchase needed.
• 6 pucks – enough spares on hand that a lost puck doesn't stop the game.
• Electronic coin validator (COMESTERO RM5) – fitted as standard and switchable between coin-operated and free play.
• 100 tokens – supplied where the table is set up for token operation.
