| Control Panel Height? |
| (1/1) |
| Witchboard:
What is a good height for a control panel? I mean for room with joys and buttons inside so they don't hit the bottom. I guess it would make a difference if you mounted your joys subset on top or from underneath, but what is the average? |
| Jakobud:
Every control differs. Just measure the controls you have and figure it out... If your joystick drops in 2 inches, then make your control panel at least 2 inches deep.......... |

That's kind of my problem. I'm working on my plans, but don't have any joys yet. :-\ I was just checking to see if there was an average amound of space. Thanks for the reply. |

If youre going with happ's parts(supers, ultimates, pushbuttons, etc) most of the description pages on their site have either mounting diagrams or dimensions My guess if youre building a box type enclosure would be about 3" below the sticks. FIgure your sticks will be about 1/2 way from the front edge to the back, so if its slanted, maybe 2" at the front and 4 or 5" at the back, depending on how deep it is. THat should give a nice slope too For the record, Ive got the older style T-sticks from ultimarc, bottom mounted. They ould need about 2-1/2" clearance to not rub on the bottom. Horizontal microswitch buttons are about 1-1/2" clearance, when mounted thru 3/4" in panel |

Cool. Sounds like I'll have enough space. Thanks everybody for your help. |
