Seems a strange mix of newer candy sticks and leaf buttons.

 

[subzero]

only because the sticks were cheap really...might get newer sticks one day...

 

[Purity]

How did you decide on this layout?

I promise I won't say anything about the sticks not being in line

, but I guess this is your prototype?

 

[ZedEx48K]

Get yaself over to sl*gcoin for controller layouts.

 

[subzero]

the layout is for 3 types of games really - defender, robotron and hyper sports, this is the first time ive ever made one of these so im expecting mistakes (joysticks not in line!) but im looking forward to completing it, if it turns out well i might make another one! I just received my 28mm spade bit so tomorrow i can get the holes for the buttons drilled

 

[subzero]

DONE!!!

may look tacky but it works....

Are the Red Buttons Micro switched and the rest Leaf switches?

yeh but theyre getting replaced in V2 with leaf switches, this is my prototype - hence the marble finish.....

 

[u72]

good move micros are sh*te for defender

 

[subzero]

plus the clicking is annoying!!! give me leaf switches anyday!

 

[subzero]

ordered a complete set of gold leaf switches, bought two originally and they are super responsive and feel great - bought some MDF and a custom CPO from J+.

Will be starting again mid september
