Make: Arcade Controller, Wired

I finally found some time to wire the buttons for the arcade controller. The joysticks came with some nice ribbon cable harnesses and I made my own for all the buttons. Each ground is connected through one long chain harness. Notice I put some foundational pieces inside to strengthen the area around the joysticks.

Everything’s working and feeling great!

First game: Space Invaders. Second game: Smash TV

All that’s left is to put a nice back on it with some rubber feet so it doesn’t slide.
