The new desktop arcade controller is almost done.
I designed it after the Pelican Real Arcade controller. Similar shape, but scaled up. It is made of Oak Plywood on top, and a poplar box with 1/4" MDF bottom. The Joysticks and buttons are all reclaimed parts that were doomed to the dumpster and cleaned up. The encoder for this project ist he GPWiz gamepad encoder from Groovy Game Gear.

I'll be working on a review for Retroblast after assemply and testing.
I have two new reviews published over at RetroBlast!
