After coming up with my TestCade controller and getting some helpful information about Slagcoin and the joystick / button layout, I was showing someone at work all of the interesting projects on here and he wanted me to design and help him build a tabletop / lap controller. After doing some looking around and sketching things down on paper, I have come up with a design that he likes. Attached are the dimensions and the layout for the buttons and joystick, working on the side views now. I am only concerned with how close the joystick is to the side.
Thinking that the grocery list would consist of
1x UltiMarc MagStick Plus to switch from 8 way to 4 way
3x Happ Yellow Buttons
3x Happ Orange Buttons
1x Happ Player 1 Button
1x Happ Black Insert Coin Button
1x Ultimarc IPac2 Interface
He loves Halloween very much so thinking that the entire controller would be black with orange or yellow t-molding around the top of the controller with the "legs" having the same t-molding. Already ordered a few samples from the t-molding.com website to see how it lays out. Not sure if he will go with actual printed artwork for the controller or not yet or a lexan style covering on the deck face. He is still pondering the material to be used either MDF or Birch / 1/2" or 3/4". It probably has a lot to do with what is available locally. I made the design with 3/4" just in case.
