| Control Panel -- really stuck! |

Hi all, I am really stuck at the moment !! I've been building my cab now for a couple of weeks (mini cab ('project announcement' to follow soon)) and I just can't nail the control panel layout. I would like my cab to have a 1 player option (for obvious reasons) with a trackball, but just don't know what joystick, buttons or trackball to go with. Obviously, being based in the UK, I am limited to only a couple of vendors to get parts, but there seems to be an overwhelming amount of stuff to choose from. So my questions are as follows: What buttons do I choose? What is the best 8 way (switchable 4) joystick to go with? And where can I find dimensions to layout the said components in Photoshop? I'm sure that there are posts on the forums, and I have done extensive searches. But the information about what people recommend is just so confusing. My CP is 6" x 18" so obviously I will be cramped for space. Can anyone recommend a layout, or what I should go with? I really want a trackball installed as one of my favorites is Chrystal Castles. HELP! Thanks is advance guys -- any input would be much appreciated! :banghead: ratzz :banghead: |

Check out Ponyboy and Divemaster in the B/S/T forum. I don't know if they ship to the UK but they're prices are great (actually, it's their shipping prices that makes them great) and they have everything you're looking for. I happen to love Ultimarc's Ultrastick 360, btw, which is software mappable for 4-way, 8-way, analog, diagonal 4-way, etc. It's pricier but the versatility can't be beat. And you can't go wrong with Happs parts for buttons/trackball. Also check eBay to see if anyone has some parts for good deals. I got a 3" Happs trackball for $30. |

Thanks guys... There was one vendor in the UK (who shall remain nameless!) who charges are absolutely extortionate! This is what prompted me to write. I'll check out the B/S/T forum. Ratzz :cheers: |
