My First Build - Dual Stick Controller Project
CoryBee:
Paint or laminate is the best way to go. That contact paper isn't a good choice, I used it quite a bit when I started making bartops and the stuff is no good for the job. Easily gets torn or scratched exposing the material under it.
Using blackboard vinyl is an easy alternative, thicker and gives a perfect painted look.

Yeah, you're right about the material not being very good. I'll chalk it up to a learning experience on my first build. If I'd had my adhesive, the stretching wouldn't have been a problem though, but durability would definitely be an issue over the long haul.

That's unfortunate that it came out like it did, but now that the woodworking/controller-building bug has bit you, it will make your next project that much better!

I know, right!? I'm already scoping out weecade plans that will accept a full ATX motherboard. :). I have a donor PC that I'm going to gut for the project.

Wiring progress.
My pre-built ground harness
Since I pre-built the harness, I labeled each plug so that I would know where it went once I built the CP.
