Another SlikStik Question
Poker808:
I noticed that on the SlikStik Quad they routed out all 4 joysticks and trackball...I am just wondering if anyone knows how deep they went when doing this and what size screws they used...Also did they use 5/8" MDF or 3/4" MDF...
Scott84:
Why not just email the people at Slikstick.... im sure they can give you better details.
Abomination:
They use 3/4" melamine, and they dont use a router on any part of the top panel (short of the t-moulding slots) They have 1 1/8" holes drilled out for the buttons, joysticks and spinner. They have the large hole for the trackball cut out also, but again its cut straight through. This is on the slikstik quad but I'll assume they are all the same. The true question being can I mount joysticks/buttons and a spinner on 3/4" material or am I going to have to buy a router and clear out some space myself (hate to do that, its the only reason I didnt build my own.)
zaphod:
I'm pretty sure they use laminate on their panels, not melamine. My buddy's SS joysticks extend up less than on my routered panel. Nothing wrong with the shorter sticks as I don't believe the sticks are routered out underneath in the arcade either. Just a different feel that you quickly get used to. Your spinner will be fine on the panel.
Contact SS for more details.

I know that they drilled the holes but for like the joysticks which has the black plastic box, did they route out a spot for this underneath the control panel..Also the same with the trackball...
