My XBOX Live Arcade controller
Malenko:

10 out of 10 mate.

From the other thread in consoles:
Beautiful. :cheers:
I'm a huge fan of formica myself. I like the usb pass thru very much. I wish there was a way to do that for playstation controllers...
The art is awesome. Nice and simple but colorful at the same time.
My suggestions for your (inevitable Wink) next stick:
Add a slant to the box. It's more comfortable to play with a sloped surface because of ergonomics. Most arcade machines have slanted surfaces right? ;)
For the hole you're not using, I'd cover it with a scrap from a 1 1/8" holesaw (it'll be undersized so you'll have to use some bondo). Although the formica is super strong and durable when used on a substrate, it's prone to cracking if left unsupported. It wouldn't take much to crack it where the unused hole is.
Can we have some more pics please? ;D
I'd like to see the insides and some more details of the usb pass thru port.
Fantastic job. One of the nicer single player panels I've seen. :cheers: ;D

The MDF was a kit that I got from northerngames. I have a plan drawn up for my next box (and possibly run of boxes). It's shorter with a slant and a rectangular top. I try to keep the buttons on the deck down to a minimum so you can see more artwork.
I got a chance to test it out this weekend (as you can see by my XBLA sig ;)). I'll get some pics of the guts for you Nite.

nice work. i really like the artwork.
now, my suggestion is to make your next one wireless. look at my avatar. also, there is a thread on the first page called "my first arcade controller(s)." there, i have links to my wired and wireless versions.
its not that much different to make a wireless one. and so much cleaner with no wires!!! you just need a 2AA battery holder from radio shack ($3). message me if you got any questions on a wireless version.
very good job and i understand the feeling of not wanting to play xbla on a regular controller. so much better with a joystick and buttons. enjoy.
