Man some of you guys are being real ---uvulas--- about this.
I'm just looking for some help with CP design for an arcade stick. I see some of the guys on here are pretty darn good at this and have some serious expertise. And my point was, I wouldn't expect someone to do it for free.
I have an engineering team that can build the controller, I just need to give them pointers as to it's functionality e.g. button layout, interface, etc etc.
I'm probably not communicating this very well but there's really no need for some of you to be arsey about a genuine request for help.
If there IS anyone genuine who can help me, PM me or reply here.
Cheers.

If all you want are plans, spend ten minutes looking at the examples page. Most of those guys layed out detailed plans on building a cab including a control panel for free.
You won't need an engineering team, just a carpenter.
And don't complain when you get ragged on for placing a sketchy post with no followup for a long time on a forum specifically for people who build arcade cabs as a hobby.
You keep dropping hints about yourself being some successful businessman with teams of people at your bidding, that will not impress people here. I don't care what saint does for a living or randy, just that they make badass arcades and arcade products.
It sounds like you don't even want anything from this forum, what you really need is something from these guys, http://www.dreamauthentics.com/index_mainmenu.html

Here is another option that can play a wide variety of games. Not my cup of tea but it might be yours.

I think you're right about a lot of things.
I DO sound like some ---uvula--- shouting off about being a bad ass businessman with 'teams of people'. But that's not the case at all. I'm 28 yrs old, and have a business idea. I DO have a business but it's in it's early stages and I am not even trading yet.
I rushed the initial message, and you guys have defo got me wrong.
You're also right in that I should do more research and find out for myself.
But, there is a lot of info out there and for someone that has ZERO technical knowledge on the subject, it can be very confusing.
Cheers.
