Title: Need advice for buttons for my control panel and P3 & P4 joys
Post by: mccoy178 on October 10, 2005, 06:58:09 pm: I am going to be using two Williams 49 ways for P1 & P2. I will be using Randy T's LED driver for the butttons, and I am wondering the following:

1. I need good LED buttons for this. I saw Dream Arcades buttons, but Gozur had a question that went unanswered about quality. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please include a link if possible. I have been searching, but have not found anything.

2. P3 & P4 joysticks. I just need a good 8 way( I wouldn't need four way capabilities would I?) for these players. I have used Happ Supers, and I just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on what they use. I just don't want to overlook this.

I am researching as this continues, I will report back once a decision is made. Thanks for the help.

Here is a link to the thread where I showed my setup and wiring and others shared the way they did it.

For your player 3 & 4 joysticks I would use Happ Super or Competition based aesthetically on matching the handles you are using on the 49-ways.
