Arcade controls build!!

[maakasam]

I’m building my first arcade and looking to purchase a 1 player layout button/joystick and encoder kit. What parts do most people use? Do you like them? If you could post direct links to the parts similarly to pcpartpicker.

I use Ultrasticks. They come with an encoder at the base and can drive up to 15 buttons. Auto-configured from MAME.

There are numerous threads discussing preferred joysticks, buttons, and encoders. Do some searching. There is a lot of information here.
