But what sucks is I'm following the project arcade book for assembly and I have some blocks that I attached to velcro my CP top down and those blocks are prohibitting me from using the router to recess the joystick.  And I've already glued those blocks down so I don't know how I can get them out without tearing up my CP.   >:(

I just realized yesterday that I have the same problem. I testfit mine without recessing and don't think it's that bad so I'm gonna go ahead and not recess. I don't think a 1/4" here or there is really that much anyway.
Chris:
Mine are not recessed.  They are on a 5/8" CP with 1/8" of Lexan on top for 3/4" total, and for me they're fine.
MrBond:
I'd definitely recess...but that's me :)
here's a good 'ole thread explaining routing or chiseling, complete with animations :)
