I never thought of creating a "Mock" control panel out of cardboard.  That is a great idea!  Thank You!

If you can, making it out of MDF (1/2" is ideal for this) is better.  As this is your first build, creating a mock MDF panel is good training for building the real thing.  Especially if you're planning on routing out recessed areas for joysticks.

I think I will make it out of cardboard first, after that ill move up to MDF and then I will make with some type of wood.  I like the idea of testing it to see how it feels before moving on to anything more expensive then Free :P
