parts in europe
Guut Boy:
Im planning to build an arcade control panel. Im new at this but after looking around a bit I think I would like to use Happ Controls' joysticks and buttons (two joysticks and six buttons each). I would like to know if there is some european sites where I can buy that? So I could save a little on shipping...
btw. Im planning to use a keyboardhack and I have read alot about how to avoid ghosting and such but I was wondering, if a keyboardhack also limits how fast you can tab buttons...I would imagine that keyboards werent made for people to press the keys super fast like you would do in some arcade games.
Hope some of you can help, like I said Im brand new at building these things so any more advice you might have is very welcome

I'm from the Netherlands, but I ordered my parts from US or UK based internet shops. I'm thinking about ordering some HappControls items from their european site (it's on their distributor list. And I will try to see how much it will cost when ordering from E'Coin (the Benelux+German distributor for HappControls)

Happ controls have a warehouse in the UK, I got stuff off them delivered to Dublin quickly and hassle free

BTW, you really should invest in an i-pac control interface. You'll save yourself a lot of time and end up with a much better solution anyway. You could even buy your joysticks and buttons from Ultimarc so you could get the whole lot in one order. The save shipping costs might pay for that i-pac.
Hamselv:
I agree... If you are based in Europe, you should definitely check out Ultimarc's products as the first thing you do! http://www.ultimarc.com
Ultimarc's joysticks, buttons, keyboard encoders and even trackballs are top-notch quality, not to mention the fantastic ArcadeVGA card (go get yourself a nice old SCART TV to go with the ArcadeVGA!) :)
