Nicer artwork. But those buttons around the spinner. The one you want to press will be too close. The other your spinner hand will hit constantly.

Thanks I didn't think of that.
Any idea on the joysticks?
Any low to mid range buttons you can recommend?
To get LED buttons or to not...

Joysticks have a million conditions and preferences. Everyone will tell you something different, I'd suggest scouring the forums for posts. I read about everything I could find over the last 5 years and got a good feel for it. Ultimately I went with the Happ Competitions for now. They're cheap ($9), familiar (in American arcades), and got me started. I figured I could always trade up later. I probably will, since they're average at best sticks.
As for buttons, I got mine from GroovyGameGear.com and went with the ClassX and True Leaf switches.

Buttons (2.10) + switch (1.50) added up pretty quick.
But the Arcade Prime buttons at $1.20 with the standard microswitches are nicer than most places' standard buttons. Probably the best value I've seen.

I've gotten switches from other places that were loud and tough but the basic models from GGG are actually really nice.

Thanks! I actually have 4 sticks, and listed them above. Just trying to figure out if I can make them 8 way, if they already are, if I can buy different posts and knobs for them.

I went with the GoldLeaf buttons and the Happ competitions as well. I am about at the same area, but instead of PS, I used cardboard to mock it all up. Might be worth grabbing some cardboard to see how it feels. Might change your mind on the design aspects.
