Cardboard Table Sticks
« on: February 25, 2018, 03:58:09 pm »
So i had bought GH live and since I'm a weirdo who recycles cardboard, it sat in my garage for a while, one day I came across am old piece of hard board that was nearly the same dimensions. Since I got bored of the wii for now i decided to put them together, usually hardboard sticks are sturdy enough to bring to a party.

So here we go, my girlfriend suggested I use the Hori stick layout as she has fond memories of her ps3 single stick.


So far this is what i did today, need to do the other stick and get started on the buttons themselves.
Is that a Sanwa in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Repurposing to the max  :applaud: :applaud: Don't worry about Nephasth.  This here is, "Build Your Own Arcade Controls",  seems that you have fully entered the spirit of that.

Thats how it all starts.
My first control panel was made from a shoebox.... 14 years ago?

BTW, cardboard is terribly. Too light.

So yeah, one hard board, some coincidentially shaped garbage, one happ sized spade bit, some buttons and wire.

Some sort of interim until the garage is warm enough to work in. Haha

The cheapest sumbitch on the forums doesn't own a set of digital calipers... and here you are slapping garbage together with a tool that cost more than a project board at home depot... :cheers:
