http://www.stepmania.com/stepmania/I am thinking about building a special Stepmania controller for my cabinet. Not a set of dance pads, because that would be way too expensive, take up too much space, and probably break all the time.
So instead I want to make a control panel on a stand that I can put in front of my regular panel when I want to play stepmania. It will basically be like an extension of the cab. I am thinking a separate coin door, a subwoofer (with a neon light around it), and a control panel on top.
The control panel will just be two sets of 5 buttons in the "Pump it Up" configuration.
Which should look kind of like this

I don't want no little bitty buttons. I want big buttons. Preferably ones that light up. It would also be nice if I could put arrow graphics inside them.
Anybody have any suggestions as to which specific buttons to use?
