5/8 MDF with 1/8 Plexi or Lexan


I think sinking the joysticks is the best methiod. You could try 1/2" plywood and 1/8 Plexi... but most prefer the MDF and it's easy to work with.

I used sheet metal for mine, so it is probably like 1/16" thick. In the past I have used 1/2" plywood with good results. It kind of depends on your sticks. Some sticks do fine with inch thick panels, others pretty much have to go on a metal panel.
