Howdy,

I'm looking to buy parts for a two player console for my Raspberry Pi project. I would prefer IL, but a good price trumps brand loyalty. :) It's going to be a two player portable console with HDMI out, so it's not a full sized cabinet.

Two joysticks (4/8 switchable, preferably), twelve buttons, player buttons, encoder, etc. It looks like I can get everything I need for ~$75 from ParadiseArcadeShop, but since I was given the R-Pi, I'd like to see how cheaply I can make something cool.

Thanks!
Jason

Here is one from Aliexpress (A pretty good marketplace for items from China. The fees are minimal for sellers, so things tend to be cheaper here.)... This one's $52.62 total with shipping.
