Control Panel Thickness...Happ controls

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Hello all. I was reading another (very old) thread on CP thickness. From what I've read, 5/8" MDF with 1/8" plexi over it is pretty solid. My question is, will the Happ Super joysticks and Happ Pushbuttons With Horizontal Microswitches fit this thickness?



milkit:

they are made for up to 3/4" i believe, so yes. you can always route out behind the joystick as well. the pushbuttons probably have closer to an inch

Thanks, just one more question :P So will I need to make any modifications to the CP to fit the pushbuttons in or will they just jut out the bottom more?

Desolis:

I've used Happ buttons in a couple of arcade sticks I've made already. Mounted in 3/4" board with 1/8" plexi as well. They fit just fine. You shouldn't need any modification at all.

The buttons on the sides are Happ in 3/4" wood.

Thanks, I went out and bought 3/4 since they didnt have 5/8. :)
