Different project : Classic Arcade style 360 controller.

[cilegray]

Yeah, so this is a few months old, I basically made this last fall, but until now didn't really have a chance to share it with many people, and it's one of the builds I'm most proud out of almost anything I've ever done.

It basically uses a stripped down Xbox 360 controller, wired to 100% authentic arcade console buttons and joystick. Woodworking, fiber optics (for the player indicators) as well as some photoshop to get the transparent overlay to look nice over wood.

Hope you like it

Guide/back buttons. The 4 little nubs are the 'player # indicator' that I moved to the front thanks to a hacked up fiber optic audio cable.

And all finished... with the overlay

Very nicely done! The quality here is outstanding. Where did you get such authentic buttons?

 

[cilegray]

They are actual replacement buttons for arcade cabinets from a supplier in montreal.
