I am glad it worked out for you. This should bump the completion date to somewhere in 2525.

Current schedule is now bumped up to 2025 - high school graduation present.

I did de-burr it... by basically grinding the edge of the wheel along the edge on both sides. Seems OK...

--- Quote ---Thanks Jimbo - I'm also concerned about accidentally hitting the Exit button but I'm not sure I want to complicate matters by adding a hot key function or something. I'm really undecided on the admin button functionality. I know I want Exit and Pause and I need P1 Start at least and probably Select for console games if I decide to add any but not sure how to set everything up. That's future me's problem when I start trying to configure everything.

The default for retropie is start+select for exiting an emulator, which I use on the usb controllers for console games. I doubled this up to have the coin button on the control panel mapped to select also. This works fine, people know to hit start and coin together to exit from mame games, and I don't need a dedicated exit button. The *only* problem I had was I put start and coin too close together that they sometimes trigger exit when pressed madly by the kids (although they are aware of it now they do it much less).

This sounds perfect. I'm envisioning it being something like this for the 4 buttons on the front panel:
Consoles: EXIT ------- SELECT - START ------- PAUSE
Arcade: EXIT ------- COIN - START ------ PAUSE
Is that something I can easily set up? I know the default EXIT in Retropie is START+SELECT but there has to be a way to remap this... I hope.

If you take out the hot key trigger, then you can use any of the buttons for any of the hot key functions (but they can't be used for regular buttons). When you set up a controller, just hold down a key for the hot key (long enough to make it cancel) and it will ask you if you want to use the select key as the hot key trigger and say no. That is what I do when using the PI for emulation. I like a dedicated exit button and pause and speedup.
