I seen the Lono2 and liked that it comes with wiring harness. Wasnt sure how it stands up to the IPAC4?

You are correct when it comes to people thinking what joysticks are the best. Everyone has their own opinion and they are all different.

I plan on sticking with 4 players with JWL-UM-8 which can be switched from 4/8 way.

My thought is to change the positions of the player from 1, 2, 3, 4 to 4, 1, 2, 3 so the player 1 and 2 will be in the center. Player 1 and 2 will be the most used.

Also thinking of using 6 player buttons for players 1, 2 and maybe only 4 player buttons for players 3, 4

Player 1,2,3,4 start buttons.

Player 1,2,3,4 coin buttons, or shifted buttons for the coins or find a good way to use the coin mechanism as coin buttons.

Exit, pause, menu button

Plus a button wired to the computer for power.

Any thought on this trackball for bowling and golden tee games?

If purchasing led buttons does it require me to buy a separate device to light the buttons or would i be able to use the Lono2 or IPAC4?

I want to thank everyone for all of your help so far.

Closing this thread since it will no longer be a bartop build. Here is the link to the new post. Please come over to the new post and continue to help me out.
