Hmmmm....I was banking on the plexi hiding any gaps for me, I may have to rethink that plan. For my controls, I'm plan on using original arcade equipment. First, I have a complete control panel from Sega Rally. I am swapping out the single view change button for the 4 VR buttons from Daytona USA. I have Daytona pedals and a Daytona seat. Pretty much all Sega gear except for the force feedback motor which is from a Midway Crusin World cabinet. It is much easier to get this force feedback motor working with a project like this than the Sega force feedback but it still pulls hard and gives true arcade quality force feedback. I am going to hack a Logitech pc wheel to make this connect to a pc. My only downside is not having an original cabinet to build in. I will be building my cabinet from scratch. I am only decent at woodworking but have a friend who is very good and willing to help. I have been watching auction sites and cragslist for a Sega cabinet in my area for quite a while and have found nothing so this is why I'll be building my own cab.

If your original arcade controls are working (potentiometers) why not just straight plug and play them to an ultimarc U-HID? I have all the original daytona arcade controls running to a mini u-hid. Works perfect.

Based on the above it looks like he is planning on having working force feedback. Pretty sure the u-hid doesn't support that.

The smoked plexi probably will hide the space, but I just wanna make sure. So thats why Im putting something behind mine to make sure it does. Painted cardboard or something with do it too.
