Got the DIY X Arcade kit, and I know the Buttons are 1 1/8" in size, but is the Joystick Hole the same size? Thanks

Close enough. I've always just used a button hole to mount joysticks, including the X-Arcade ones.

Joystick holes can be 1" depending on application, but I always just go with the 1 1/8" anyway, even when the 1" would work.

It really depends on whether you're working with wood or metal. Wood joysticks usually have a longer throw, so require the bigger hole. 1-1/8"
