hmmm... it's kinda weird, they don't have the controllers dimension in the web page. You could mail them for the specs. I've seen them live, but I don't remember actually the size of those. Check this page, these guys have plans for interfacing these joysticks in cabs. Dunno i think it might help :-\

I don't have the exact dimensions for the X-arcade controller, but I also built a LuSiD-based cab recently and used one of them.  LuSiD's plans are designed to be easily adjustable with respect to width, but 27 inch internal width seems to be common.  That's how mine is made, more to fit the TV I bought for this project than anything else.

As you can see in the pic linked below, the X-arcade looks pretty stupid on a cabinet that's this wide.  The thing that looked so big and hefty sitting on my desk looks like a little toy when bolted down to a large cab.  Oh well, it's just a placeholder anyway until I get around to doing my own custom CP.

Hope this helps.
