Do you ever feel like a dork for owning arcade games?

So the question is, how do you put a mouse on a cab, and have it look decent?  Me thinks there is some col potential for hackery here...

[Mikezilla]

Agreed. Too bad I cant hack ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- so.... I have no ideas 

We should consult Vigo, he is good at that sort of thing.

I don't think it would be that hard.  You just need to find something to fit a wireless mouse in, and then migrate the buttons.  The hard part part would be finding something that looks cool that would be comfortable to play...

rayb that looks awesome!!!  however i have really big hands and i dont relish the idea of playing on that thing for an hour or two    im also absolutely terrible at hacking electronics so i may just go with the joystick and trackball and switch between the two.  donkbaca, as for keys/hotkeys, im gonna have 36 main buttons, i dont macro anything.  then ill have the admin buttons for character sheet, achievments, professions, dungeon finder and the admin window.  as well as button for mount, fishing, and archaeology.  like i said earlier, loooot of buttons.  ipac4 here i come

you should get some custom vinyls to label all that stuff.  Good luck!

on the cp overlay im definitely gonna have everything marked off with a picture.  probably not the action buttons but theyll be organized just as they are on screen so i should be ok.  im not an elite or even great player, i just have fun with it so i dont get too serious with the ui and such.  for me its like the original D&D tabletop, which i play, in 2d/3d and its great.
