My First Build - Dual Stick Controller Project
chemikalguy:
Continued onward mounting the P2 buttons, then the top buttons, and finally the joysticks.
A pic showing the ergonomics of the button layout. This layout is almost perfectly laid out for my hand, with the exception of the pinky buttons. Those could actually stand to be 1/2" lower. It's unlikely that these will be used very often, as very few games use 8 player buttons, so this is not a deal-breaker.
chemikalguy:
In hindsight, I think that a good textured paint or even MDF that is already covered with a formica or other laminate material would ultimately have been better, but as this is only my first build, it's a learning experience. Plus, this is completely my own work, so there's a sense of accomplishment there. ;D
The next step is to start working on the wiring.
Below is a pic looking over the back of the couch at where the controller will be used when connected to the media PC and TV.
CoryBee:
Could use a heat gun or torch to lightly heat up the material so it shrinks over those trouble spots.
chemikalguy:
That's a good point, although I'd probably only succeed in setting it on fire. :laugh:

Rustoleum Painter's Choice semi-gloss and a 1/4 nap microfiber roller. That's your huckleberry.
