What should I look for in joystick and buttons? I like tactile feed back.

Thanks,
I guess you think theses are decent?

Ultimarc has fair controls.  The buttons have a definite threshold between "unpushed" and "pushed" and you can feel it if you want, and it's easily ignorable if you don't.  Wooden control panels all but mute the clicking sound (Again, you can hear it if you listen but it's ignorable.)

I prefer Ultimarc's J-Stik but some people like the elongated "bat" style handle instead.  It's more expensive than a Happ Competition, though apparently the Happ Competition sticks are unparalleled.

X-Arcade is right the hell out if you want quality.

If cost is an issue you may want to seriously examine how much extra you are going to spend building a 6 player machine versus a 2 player or 4 player machine.

90 percent of the time it will probably just be you playing. Playing all six players on X-Men is something that literally might only happen once in your lifetime.

 It's starting off life as a 4 player. it's based off the plans for the control panel of the 6 player x-man cabe so there is room for two more. The plane is to add on the 5 and 6 player one day. I just don't want to pay to get more then what I need.

Unless his house is a hot party spot or something. Or you just happen to have a bunch of gamer friends or nostalgic arcade enthusiasts, where you specifically set up game nights or something. Then it could be worth having 4-6 Players. If not then it may only get used a few times ever.
