Things I think are getting out of hand!

How about those chrome buttons that come with black collars that make them sit 1/2" above the control panel surface?
It's not the chrome that bothers me, it's that people keep the black collars on them so all their buttons are atop little individual pillars.

Yeah, some folks were steered incorrectly in the past about the purpose of those rings.  They are intended to go under thin (i.e. metal) panels, as the threads on the button body don't go high enough for the nuts to tighten them down on very thin substrates.  If installing onto wood panels, chuck the black plastic spacers .

Wait..... people thought those rings go on TOP of the Control Panel....?

Don't be a hater, BadMouth, if people want to put those rings on TOP of the control panel, that's their right and that's their money. Who are you to tell them they're wrong. Narcissist.

Can you post a pic where someone did that?

Don't want to use my time to scour BYOAC at the moment, but this was the first one that popped up in a google search.

I've seen it a few times on BYOAC. On otherwise nice looking CPs IIRC.

EDIT:

I know another one of them had carbon fiber vinyl on the CP and a 6 button SF layout.

Those buttons are more 3d than most arcade games!!!
