Ordered some OMNI2's yesterday, I didn't really like the Paradise sticks I picked up as they didn't offer any possibility for on the fly 4/8 switching. Now I have some experience with driving motors and software I'm going to take a stab at my own servo controlled switching on the sticks, shouldn't be too hard and the parts are cheap enough from Pololu. I can get a 6-channel servo control board and have options left over in case I feel like doing something else motorized later.
As for the tablet I am doing some experimenting with Unified Remote on my Galaxy Note for now, it's a pretty sweet customizable WiFi remote control for the PC with a lot of powerful features. If I can get it to reliably send key commands to the computer and have them recognized by Mame and Hyperspin then I'll be able to do away with all admin keys. Also it opens up some crazy interesting options like controlling my Sonos system for music in the man cave, controlling my plex media server on my movie screen, even streaming live TV to the tablet from my DirecTV so you can watch the football or a movie while you're playing on the cab - lots of very cool and interesting potential there. If I go that way I may build a separate set of speakers into the CP for the tablet so it has it's own sound options.
Lots to chew on.

Hey Griff,
Don't know what your plans are for mounting the tablet to the CP top (I assume you are going to route out a nice pocket for it to sit in), but you might want to look into an off the shelf tablet holder. Get an articulating stand and/or charging dock that rotates, this way you can position it anyway you want. More importantly, when you mount it to the CP, only mount it through a 1 1/8" hole perfectly centered. This way, if the tablet turns into a complete fail, you can always remove it and pop in a usb spinner or admin button and your artwork will remian untouched. Either way, build looks the nuts :cheers:

If I do the touch, I actually think I am going to go full embedded, it has to look like part of the CP however it ends up being attached.
More artwork enhancements and a better idea of the screen and how it will look embedded.
