Making a 1 player mini control panel

I actually started working on the plans earlier tonight figuring I would add them to my thread even if you didn't need them.  I am making some changes that should make it nicer/easier to build.  I will add them to my thread later and probably drop a note here to tell you.  It may be this evening or this weekend, I tend to be fairly unpredictable... even for myself.  I may have a hard time saving to a file that people w/o AutoCAD can read unless I save it at work as PDF.  I'll look online for PDF options I can use at home.

If you're just looking for a single player joystick for PC you shuold check out the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3.  Its for PS3 so its USB and works plug-n-play on PCs.
I have the HRAP1 and its amazing.

I made one from some spare stuff I had left over from my cabinet.  I have to have something to do at work.  ;)

Excuse the pictures my cell phone camera is not the greatest.  I hacked up a usb gamepad for the interface.  http://www.target.com/Logitech-Precision-Gamepad/dp/B00030AX3Q/sr=1-1/qid=1191590493/ref=sr_1_1/602-4771769-6975862?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Aprecision%20gamepad&page=1

Attached are a few shots and some rough measurements.  Everything was made from 5/8 particle board.  I added a piece of plexi on the top so it 3/4" thick.  I also put a cheap drawer pull on the back so it's easy to carry.

I've got the revision modeled in AutoCAD, but I haven't turned it into dimensioned build-ready plans yet.

Here's a rendering of the current design:



I've given a little more info on the changes in my thread.

I should have plans in PDF form later this weekend or early next week.

I would have to have a second joystick on a panel for myself.

For what you want, and your price range, I would personally put in an Ultimarc U-360 stick.
You can get 8 buttons, plus 7 shifted functions on the stick itself, without buying an encoder.
As a bonus, the stick will work on more games than any other stick out there.
