Helpful materials and construction info - Arcade Controllers!

[Beo]

My DIY / Maker hobbies extend beyond stompboxes. Right now I'm working on a RetroPi arcade system using a raspberry pi and making my own oldschool dual player arcade joystick.

This site, while specific to making arcade controllers, has a lot of good info that may be useful to stompbox builders. Info on materials, including wood, acrylic plastic and metal, tools for cutting, drilling and routing these materials, construction layouts for boxes and panels, etc. Maybe helpful, maybe not, maybe interesting for anyone interested in old school arcades!

Cheers,
Travis

The page with button brands review is really helpful - I'll take a closer look later on. Thanks!

On a topic related to controllers: do you (or anyone) know a joystick with dual gang potentiometers for each axis? It seems they're impossible to find these days.
