Hello, I am starting a cocktail build and am getting a little lost in all the options for controls interfaces. The plan is to have a 3 sided table. The long side will have two 8-way joysticks with 6 buttons each, plus 1P and 2P buttons. One short side will have a 4/8-way switchable joystick, 3 buttons, 1P and 2P buttons, spinner and Tron joystick. Other short side will have a 4/8-way switchable joystick, 3 buttons, 1P and 2P buttons and trackball. Plus a few admin buttons somewhere.
So that makes a total of 5 joysticks, 28-30 buttons, spinner and trackball. I was thinking I could double map some of the joysticks and buttons. I don't anticipate using the long side and short sides at the same time.
I don't plan on using LEDs now, but may in the future.
I'm thinking if I double up I could get a way with the I-PAC Ultimate or maybe the Howler. What other options are there for my setup?
Thanks
Jeff

Are you planning to put a full-size Tron joystick on a cocktail panel? On the short side?

Yes. It will be a custom cocktail with a control panel the full width of the small side which will be 22". I have yet to draw it out, but the plan is a 4/8 joystick on the left, spinner in the middle and Tron stick on the right with 3 buttons below the spinner.
