Which Is the Best Electronic Home Dartboard?

Spider 360 2000 Series Vs. Shelti Eye 2 Electronic Home Dartboard

So you've finally decided to get yourself an electronic dartboard. You've been working so hard, and you've waited so long… and now, you're giving yourself a treat by adding a masterpiece to your game room! 

Getting an electronic dartboard is not peanuts. You’ll be shelling out money for this, so you might as well get the *best* one out there, right? 

The question is, what is the best electronic dartboard out there?

The Best Electronic Home Dartboard Depends on Your Needs

Two of our top-of-the-line electronic dartboards are the Spider 360 2000 Series Electric Home Dartboard and the Shelti Eye2 Electronic Home Dart Machine.  

Both of them are designed for enthusiasts and constructed with the highest-quality craftsmanship. However, choosing between the Shelti Eye 2 and the Spider 360 2000 is really up to you and your needs.  

Think of buying an electronic dartboard like you're buying a car. Aside from the price, you'd also consider other factors, such as how you plan to use it. If you’re looking for a family car, you’d think about buying a station wagon. If you’re always going on off-road trips, then a pickup truck or SUV may be better for you. 

The point is, when getting the best electronic dartboard, ask yourself… 

• Do I want to play darts casually or competitively?

• Do I care about my global ranking, or am I content in just playing offline with friends?

• Am I particular with the visual or aesthetic quality of my dartboard? 

Now that you've answered these questions, let's dive into each one!
