DIY Controller recommendations

(1/1)

go2ldook:
Planning a PC based MAME arcade cabinet. I have an Xarcade 2 player tankstick with the trackball, and generally have no problems with it, but keep reading the advantages of making your own in terms of higher quality parts. I certainly have the DIY skills to do this.

If cost is not a consideration (within reason), what would be the best as far as joystick, buttons, trackball, spinner and USB interface? Thinking Happ style like the tankstick I think, as I read the Sanwa are looser, but I could be convinced otherwise.

I am considering adding a spinner to my Xarcade. Even if I DIY my controller, I will likely keep the Xarcade, maybe for a smaller tabletop setup for my vacation home. They sell spinner kits. If anyone has experience with them vs adding a non-Xarcade spinner, please chime in on quality.
