Yep, you can print directly on the MDF as well which I find is generally more expensive.  What I usually do is have it printed on the acrylic then I lay that on my wood (or sometimes PVC board) and trace the shape.  Then I cut the wood with my jigsaw and then drill the button/joystick holes in the wood.

Then I screw the acrylic to the wood by drilling small holes in the acrylic for the screws and finally drill the holes in the acrylic for the button/joysticks.

If the panel has curved edges I use U-Channel trim that snaps right on the edge without needing routed.  It only comes in black but is easy to spray paint any color.
