Do you need joysticks? I think if you use just buttons, there is no problem to leave it uncovered.

Yeah, because buttons are spill-proof ...  ::)

This is why I have a game room with french doors out to the deck/BBQ area.  This summer, I'll be able to leave those open so it will be like having outdoor cabs with controlled lighting.  Now if I can just convince my friends I don't really live in the boonies...   :laugh2:

Standard arcade buttons aren't, but you can certainly get "industrial grade" pushbuttons rated to IP67.  That'll withstand being hit with a power washer!  They're not overly cheap, but they're certainly available.  Some of the more "standard sizes" are even pretty close to the size of a typical arcade pushbutton, though the actuation force is probably higher.  You can even get them in lighted flavors.

Check out any "industrial supply" outfit like Grainger, McMaster-Carr, etc.  Allied Electronics has a decent selection of these things, too.
