A couple questions regarding bolt patterns on many joysticks
Havok:
I used the same 1 1/8" bit for my 360 center hole as my buttons. It looks like you could use much less...
Tahnok:
Thank you very much. That's what I needed to know.

The total thickness makes a big difference. 3/4" wood plus 1/8" lexan top needs a bigger hole, while a 3/4" wood routed to 5/8 with not overlay can do the "normal" 1 1/8" hole, IIRC.
RichyRich:
yeah thats right,that's why I included the thickness of the panel.Obviously the thicker the panel,the larger the hole has to be unless routing.Maybe I should of stated that.Thanks u_rebelscum.
