Hello, I've decided to have a go at making an arcade cabinet using a raspberry pi, something like this I guess:
before I can do that I need to make the arcade stick first and see if it's a success before building the whole thing.
I'm a fan of concave buttons and may go with these
I've based the design on a X-Arcade, this was the first design mock-up
I then tried to make it illustrator but forgot to take into consideration that the concave rims would touch each other as they are too close:
Grey square lines are the base.
My Questions
1. Is there anything wrong with my design mock-up I should be aware of? anything I am missing?
2. can I rotate the metal joystick moust so it's vertical rather horizontal? I really don't want it any wider than 30cm
2. How deep does the screw to bolt the concave buttons usually go? I'm going with 2m perspex and 5mm mdf. is that too thin for the screws to mount?
