Silent dedicated 4-way/8-way sticks?
Boris the Spider:
I think I'm set on my joys. I'm going to use either two U360's or one U360 and a dedicated Wico. They will be mounted horizontally. I'm worried they may be too close together. Does anyone who uses two sticks like this find it difficult or find themselves banging their knuckles on the adjacent stick?
As for the buttons, I'd like to use Ponyboy's leaf switches on Ice buttons. The leaf switches are indicated in green in the image. The player 1 & 2 will be microswicthes. Does anyone else use leaf switches on their cocktail cabs? I'd be intersted to see how you handled the space. I got the measurements of the switches from one of Ponyboy's threads last year. The swicth sticks out 1 5/8" past the plunger...and the contacts add another 1/2". I don't know how wide they are though. Can someone tell me the width of these switches?... because one of my swicthes will have to fit in between the player 1 and player 2 buttons.
Anyone see a problem with this layout? I've considered moving the player 1 & 2 buttons, if space becomes an issue, and building them into the cabinet as I've seen done on other examples....so they won't have to be on the cp. I'm also not sure if the height of this cp is correct. I retraced the template from arcadedepot.com in photoshop and then scaled it (maintained aspect ratio) to the correct size in inches. There seems to be way to much space above the joysticks compared to pictures I've seen of these panels. Can someone tell me the height of the 11" panels from arcadedepot.com?
Thanks
