You can rotate your joys 90 degrees and bring the buttons closer. that might give you room to shift the trackball up making it not so deep. |

Thanks guys. Don't I need a trackball mounting plate? How do I do it without one? I'm gonna go back to the drawing board on this one and see if I can implement your suggestions. I don't want to sacrifice comfort... so, I'm afraid things are going to be too cramped up. Do you think it's wise that I don't hack up the sides of the cabinet in order to accomodate a wider CP? d. |

I think you'll be much happier with the end product if you keep it inside the existing walls. The lines on that cabinet would look really funny just ending at a big CP box. Have you considered making swappable panels for this? That would eliminate the cramping, and let you keep the CPs close to the original size. It would look entirely natural if you held them in place using cross-dowel nuts in the existing triangular bracing to hold the CP in place with bolts through the top. |

Here is an example of a CP that someone did with this same cabinet. As you can see.. they extended beyond the lines of the original cabinet. If I was to extend them a bit further.. I think I could add the trackball without it looking too weird. |

If you get a pair of Ultimarc T-Stick Plus 4/8 way switchable joysticks, you don't need a dedicated 4 way. |
