@mitu It will be a Spinner to control old classics like Arkanoid and Asteroid. No buttons or "press" functionality needed. Just one axis with decent response, i.e. better than a keyboard press.

The link you shared - thank you very much - looks like it could be what I am looking for. I will try later tonight and then see how I pull that new device into RetroPie/ES.

Thanks a million

@alturis I've actually been looking at those exact pre-cut kits. My buddy wants to build a cabinet now and wants help. These are insanely affordable. Like you'd have a hard time buying all the materials to build a cabinet for this price, no less the time it takes to cut it properly and route it etc. That being said, there is definitely some satisfaction in cutting it all yourself. I learned so much from this build though... I am actually really considering building a new housing and putting all the guts from this one into it.

All I can say is WOW!

@DIY.Engineering Thanks for getting back to me - I will reply to your email over the weekend. Appreciate it wasn't intentional - love your work. Cheers.
