Epyx, nice to meet another Shpongle fan.
And 1200 mics is awesome. Heck, anything with either Simon Posford or Raja Ram is awesome!
Ryglore, thank you, now I know who made this awesome artwork! They're very talented.
I wired things up (sorta) using the gutted remains of my older 2 player controller. This is why the wiring is a little messy and some of the connections don't reach. As a result, a couple of the buttons aren't hooked up. Also, the underside of the top panel is a bit rough. Originally I intended to laminate it, but since that meant the T-molding wouldn't be flush, I opted for a couple quick coats of paint instead. Since it's hidden, I don't really worry about it.
And this thing is
awesome for Street Fighter IV. I'm very glad I made it as no longer do I wind up with cramping fingers after a marathon SF IV session:
Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out. Much better than my previous attempt at a controller. The laminate especially gives the bottom a very nice, professional look. Much better than paint.
Thanks again to everyone for all the great comments!
