| Building my own control panel |
| (1/1) |
| unit416:
I cancelled my order with x-gaming and rather than buying a premade panel I'm building my own (in keeping with this site). I ordered a pre-cut 4 player panel through mameroom and I am planning on using the HAPP competition joysticks, IPAC encoders for the joysticks, spinner and trackball. Any benefits from going another route? |

Do what you like doing, can't go wrong. You like building it yourself, welcome. You don't, that's ok too... One comment ... if you're working up to building a whole cab vs just a control panel, you're better off getting your own wood and drilling your own panels most likely |

Good choice sir! :applaud: Have you thought about building the whole control panel from scratch? You will get much more satisfaction playing games with a controller that you have crafted with your own hands :) Even if you buy a premade panel and mount and wire the controls it still beats buying a ready to go panel. Don't be scared about building a panel yourself, even if you do not have many wood working skills. As you may know there is a wealth of information on this board and many people who will be willing to help you along the way. :) Good luck with whatever you decide to do. |
