Wow, I've been out of town for a week, I come back, and don't have a clue what we are even talking about on here anymore...... I'll catch up later. Whoever built the white pad with NINE BUTTONS.... ...

There is no problem with using counter sunk screws if you don't mind buying some extra plex. It requires some special drilling (to allow the head of the screw to sit flush). Plex doesn't like to be ...

I did the screws from the bottom thing. It works good, but it is a pain in the butt flipping the pad over all the time, until you get the pad "tuned".

I actually didn't use screws. i used allen h ...

All of the sudden, I'm not getting notification when there are new posts on here. It's a conspiracy.

Anyway, I think that you could probably use low voltage, high output lighting in a pad and make ...

Ok for the record. I already have a pad that works on both PS2 and on X-Box. The control box is external. You simply hook the pad up to which ever control box is for the system you want to use. Si ...

HitokiriX,

Check this link out. It is a picture of my 2nd pad. It only has 3 buttons on it, and I think it looks great.

On the X-Box, you de ...

Do you need all four buttons? I only put 3 buttons on mine(x-box) You only need the A,B, and Back buttons. If you did that you would have no problems with only 8 wires...

4 Arrows

That is exactly how mine works. The female end is in the side of the pad.
The wires don't solder to the female end, then just kind of crimp in. They provide you with a special tool in the package. ...

Mtwieg,

Where are you snagging it? If it's on the outside edge, then you need to put a border on it. Otherwise, unless somehow your plex is recessed in the pad you shouldn't have any exposed area ...

Cartoon Hero,

Are your arrows all steel? Very cool box for the controller, where did you get it? Is it a project box from radio shack? Very cool either way!

It's not very hard, I simply ran the wires to a network jack that I purchased at Home Depot for $6. It is all color coded so you just put the wires in the marked spots. Then, I wired the controller ...

In my pad that had the contoller in the pad, I routed out the pocket for the controller board. All of my new pads have the controller in a seperate box that connects to the pad via a network cable.

I have no problems with my pads. Nor do I see any potential for warpage. I built my fist pad off riptides design. I have had no problem with that pad. It's just REALLY HEAVY and BULKY. Mine are s ...

I actually use Tire Rim Cleaner. Like from the autoparts store. I don't remember what it's called. It's a big swab of pre-treated cotton, that you rub on the aluminum, let it dry. Then polish it o ...

They are 3/4" maple with a 1/4" lip over the top of the pad.

Design still has some bugs that I'm working out. There is no adjustment for touch. I have to incorporate something into the bottom of ...

My newest pad is DONE!!!. It took me about 3 hours to build this time. I think I am getting it down. Anyway, as promised it only has 4 screws on the pad surface. It looks awesome, and will keep up ...

Mine actually uses an external box also, but I hook mine up with a network cable. There are great pictures of it on my site.

I think at the end of the day it will make storage and portability bett ...

I have already said the same thing. The arcade buttons that they make, the small ones are 1 1/2" tall. Some are as big as 2". That was why I had to switch to the momentary switches from radio shack ...

I don't remember why your arrow panels were higher, but I wouldn't put another screw in the middle. You will hate stepping on it all the time (I know it's on the metal pad, but trust me, you will hat ...

Nope no washers just the #10 x 1 1/2" screws...
