Need advice for buttons for my control panel and P3 & P4 joys
« on: October 10, 2005, 06:58:09 pm »
I am going to be using two Williams 49 ways for P1 & P2.  I will be using Randy T's LED driver for the butttons, and I am wondering the following:

1.  I need good LED buttons for this.  I saw Dream Arcades buttons, but Gozur had a question that went unanswered about quality.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Please include a link if possible.  I have been searching, but have not found anything.

2.  P3 & P4 joysticks.  I just need a good 8 way( I wouldn't need four way capabilities would I?) for these players.  I have used Happ Supers, and I just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on what they use.  I just don't want to overlook this.

I am researching as this continues, I will report back once a decision is made.  Thanks for the help.

Many of us are using the translucent IL buttons that Shawnzilla had made and are now sold by Shawn at www.fxbuttons.com and by Ponyboy in the B/S/T thread.

Here is a link to the thread where I showed my setup and wiring and others shared the way they did it.

For your player 3 & 4 joysticks I would use Happ Super or Competition based aesthetically on matching the handles you are using on the 49-ways.
