I made a Joystick, did u too?

Hi
because my NeoGeo only came with one of this stupid small Pads I have
build my own Joystick:

60x30x10 cm 20mm SOLID wood,
Excellent Joystick from my cab,
6 nice green original Arcade microswitch buttons (vertikals, but will be exchanged to horizontals as soon as i get some...)
I painted it black and on top it has soft plastic cover (like the underside of mousepads) to give your hands a good place to rest.

Button Layout:
 000
O
start and select are on the left side. Everything is soldered to a 15pin female Sub-D plug, so u can use standart joystick-extensions to connect to your Neo or whatever you want...

Actually I couldn't test it because non of the games arrived yet. But I should have soldered everything correctly. It wasnt that difficult. ( It was Pretty easy )

Has anyone else selmade sticks?

um, donkeyman, are horizontals better than verticals? if so, how come?

------------------

I read somwhere that they get malfunctions earlier ( when dusted or dirty ). Try to get horizontals.
