Title: X Arcade Joystick Hole Size?
Post by: R0CK632 on November 30, 2015, 12:28:54 pm

Got the DIY X Arcade kit, and I know the Buttons are 1 1/8" in size, but is the Joystick Hole the same size? Thanks

Close enough.  I've always just used a button hole to mount joysticks, including the X-Arcade ones.

+1.  I like to make them the same size.

Joystick holes can be 1" depending on application, but I always just go with the 1 1/8" anyway, even when the 1" would work.

It really depends on whether you're working with wood or metal. Wood joysticks usually have a longer throw, so require the bigger hole. 1-1/8"
