Go for matrix sensors.
There's a lot of threads and posts about it in this section.

Mine probably has like 1/64 inch of movement (and can be tuned for less).
I wouldn't recommend the way most peo ...

I bought a softmat with PS3 input, and I'm plugging that directly into my computer.

I took the PCB board from it to build my wooden pad, and.. the joy axis problem. Since this doesn't have anything ...

Don't, I think there's a good chance that they'll break without being repairable.
Get a Blueshark or Cobalt Flux, or build your own.

I'd recommend building your own!

Play it safe and get the 26 gauge or less.
I've read of some sheet metal warping somewhere in this thread.

Well, for the arcades I normally go to, they use giant panheads. Though I've seen some flatter looking screws in an ITG dedicab.

I don't get tripped up, so I guess it's fine for me.

But slide? T ...

True, but it's a lot less arcade-accurate.

Thanks! You know I did have that concern about my sensors. I was just planning on replacing them with arcade sensors in the future, but what would you recommend? Let me know how things fair with your ...

Why truss? I think they'd work about the same.

If not, do you think the same would apply to matrix sensors?

Your pad looks great!
In fact, we built our pads very similarly..

The only real difference is the sensors. ...

What type of glue did you use to glue the sheet metal onto the wood, and what glue are you going to use for the arrow graphics?

Ah I see, thanks. x_x
I really need to get some new weatherstripping then!

Thank you very much! I assume the one that decompresses immediately is the Super-R weatherstripping?

My brand m&d says nothing about open-cell and closed-cell. I heard that closed-cell decompresses a lot slower, and I just wanted to check if I had open-cell.

Mine takes about a full second to d ...

The way my pad ended up, I need to glue the arrow graphics onto the bottom of the Lexan panel. What kind of glue can I use that dries clear, and any tips on applying it?

Well, I found a universal soft-pad that works with the GC/Wii/PS/PS2/PS3 by Blockhead that I found at Best Buy. PS3 = USB, and you can connect it to your computer.

It cost about $24.99, but I would ...

Ahh thanks man! Really appreciate it. ^^

1) I'll drop the bottom bracket because of cost and the extra thickness I can't have.

2) That's actually good info for me, thanks!

3) Hmm, I think I'l ...

Okay, so I decided to go with matrix sensors for my pad, but I have some questions I need answered! I decided not to go with DancingTofu's design because I feel like I may have to maintain it at least ...

Yep, that's what I'm saying.

Imagine this:
You tap the sensor. The metal shakes a bit and rapidly taps the screw/nuts a few times before stopping.

I wouldn't say it's oversensitive, just that t ...

Hahaha, I was really confused at first too because I had it upside down.
I thought about it for a while.

I really wouldn't recommend using screws as part of the sensors, you'd have to unscrew the ...

I would recommend the BNS Sparkle, or whatever it was called.
You get it from buynshop, some website. Read some reviews first though.
