How does it look so far?

How does it look? I'm thinking of adding a little more bling to it (Slikstik metal handles).

I don't understand the need to make a control panel so "deep" (with all that empty space near the bottom). Is it because you need to rest your elbows?

 :) Anyways, my only comment is that it's unfortunate that you couldn't recess the mounting plate, so that your art went over it.

It looks great except for not having translucent buttons.  ;D

It's deep, because it sits on the control panel box, which is smaller than the area of the top (Standard LUSID/Project Arcade setup).

I didn't recess the mounting plate on purpose, because I wanted to be able to remove it if I needed.

I guess this is my question also...
It looks very nice with the artwork, but isn't it a 'reach' for the
controls... especially spinner... my back hurts just looking at it.

But... I must say.. its better than what I have!!!

Shwanz, as long as it works for you, then YES, it looks GREAT!!!

...so I will ask you... "Deal, or No Deal?"

I've table tested it, and the 8-ways & trackball feel great. The 4-way & spinner are indeed a little uncomfortable, but overall I'm pretty happy. I might tinker with a different layout on the next one.
