| Top mounted & recessed joys....will my artwork dent inward? |

So I want a new control panel right? Going to go all out, flush mount everything all nice & purdy. I have a question for everyone out there with recessed & flush top mounted items (trackball, joys & etc). If I set my joystick in the top of the control panel & its flush but since a huge part of the joystick isnt flat (meaning the edges of the joy are higher than the rest of the device) if I lay a CPO over the joys & then a plexi I know it would be smooth & flat on top but would the art dent in towards the lower part of the joys & leave an indentation? WWBYOACD? |

I believe he is talking about flush-mounting one of these from the top of the CP, and then putting plexi over it. Since there is a recess in the joystick housing, would that cause a visible issue with the CP art? |

Yep, exactly what I am talking about |

The first thing that popped into my head would be to sandwich the art between two acrylic layers. You could put a 2mm acrylic sheet on top of your control panel, put the artwork on top of that and then put another 2mm acrylic sheet on top as your top CP surface. |

^ You could do exactly what France says above. But I'm cheap :P so I'd probably fill the recess out with bits of cut-out card to make it flush. I'm not sure the art would drop into that small a space anyway, but I would fill the gap with card just to be sure. |
