Thanks!...
Negativecreep0,
When I first started I considered the many to one barrier strip approach. I decided against it because of the number of contacts needed. So for me basically, the number of buttons and layout certainly affected the its feasibility, at least in terms of the benefits of neatness.
Have fun...

Retro post more pics of your control panel please closer up and top view it looks great, do you have a site up ??
RetroACTIVE:
I don't have it on a web site as of yet and have not officially submitted it... however I have many pics on the Project Announcements forum.

I think most would agree with Pointdablame...
It is actually the same number of wires no matter what method you use. The advantage of daisy chain is you are actually using less wire... which IMHO is always less messy.

I gotta agree too.
Daisy chaining is NOT messier!

Tivogre,
Very nice job. A few questions for you:
In your second pic, what are you using for your bundled wire? I thought it was CAT5 but if I count correctly, that one bundled wire goes to 4 joystick switches and 8 button switches. Since CAT5 only has 4 pairs, what are you using?
Thanks for the info.
