Just curious, but why wouldn't you use tee-nuts? Especially if you're going to laminate it. You won't have to worry about stripping the wood out or some body tearing your joysticks loose.

Ahh...sorry, I was confused on what t-nuts where. I think I will try them. Iam going to recess the wood with the router and place tape over them so there will be no contact cement in the threads. Sound right?
What size machine screw do you guys use? 10-32 8-32...?
Witchboard:
You wouldn't need to bore through your laminate, they would be mounted under it just like your trackball mounting plate. Pretty much everything froggerman said. ;)
pocketbikez:
what are those L shaped cutouts right above the 1st and 2nd player controls?

Yes this sounds right, but I use a Forstner bit to countersink the t-nuts. but it is the same idea. I think 10-32 is a good size to use, just make sure they fit through the holes in your controls.
