My control panel Your opinions

Pages: << < (3/5) > >>

Veinman:

Daveg- How deep is your panel? The UAII panel is over 17" deep, I was thinking of making mine 16" deep.

What did you use for 4-way sticks, and would you recommend them?

its 17.25" deep, 48" wide.
No 4 way sticks here.. all 8-way supers.
I play as good with an 8 way as I do with a 4-way.
4-ways would be a waste IMHO.
(others will beg to differ)


Veinman:

I hope they do beg to differ, so I can get as much input as possible prior to buying joysticks. ;D

48" wide is what I'm going for as well. In that dimension, the UAII design exceeds 48", but after checking on lexan, which I plan to use to cover the CP, going past 48" gets into SERIOUS money.

A 24" x 48" sheet seems to average $40.

As for the depth, I think I can get away with 16" because I'm not doing a trackball.

Timoe:

Here is my latest cp design.

Veinman:

I've been making mine in Adobe Illustrator (got it from work  :)) but I haven't bothered with the available control templates that you'll find around. I've just been making 1.125" holes where the buttons go, and 1.25" holes for the sticks. After all, the cutting is the most important part.
