They have a great feel and they are certainly small (maybe too small for your use) but there are a couple of issues. They're only about an inch long, so if you're going to use 3/4" or larger for the panel its gonna require some extra routing. The second thing is that I think they're only available in black. Oh, there might be an issue since you're not in the US. Not sure though. --- End quote --- Source? |

Loads of us build bar-tops with no problems; just how small are you planning on going? A regular 1-player, 6-button arrangement only takes up around 9" x 4" after all. |

The CP measures 294 x 103 mm. With the scaled down DK artwork I really do struggle to get any kind of arcade buttons in there. I'm thinking of using non-arcade buttons for P1 and P2 as they aren't "play" buttons. Something like what TOK posted may be ideal (even though they are black). Then I can just get a Sanwa OBSF-24 in there for the Jump button. Having said that the "Jump" decal within the artwork will need to be enlarged to accommodate the 27mm radius button.... but it will just fit. I was gonna fit an extra "action" button on there for two button games like Scramble, 1943 etc.etc. but I may need to knock that idea on the head now that I see what area I'm restricted to. |

The specs say it mounts in 0.5" hole but doesn't say the size above panel. |
