Thanks, I’ll look into this.
Unfortunately no, I only have straight only b/c these 2 were mfg for my own personal use and i like my buttons straight.
Vewlix & Curved Button layout will only be made and manufatcured if and when there is enough committed people willing to buy. It takes too much time and waste of material if I only make one offs.
I would definitely be in for at least 1 of these when they are made.
Since I have some anger management issues and I need something extremely sturdy how well do you think this box will hold up say…if I threw it 5 feet?
Yes this is a serious question.
No I’m not joking.

Looks at his TE stick that’s falling apart.**
At 8 lbs I would worry more about what you threw it at. You could seriously damage a wood floor, or fataly kill somebody or break someones bones if you threw this five feet, no joke. Try lifting a ten pound weight, chuck it at your wall and see if you have a hole in the wall.

Lol that’s pretty funny, I’d think you would have 2nd thoughts before chucking this arcade stick. It’s too nice to just chuck it, i’d think u’d find something else to throw.
But in the event that you did, you would most likely jack up the joystick and buttons before making any kind of impact on the case.
Wow.
The cuts look super beautiful.
By the time I have money for one of these, I hope you still make.
But then by that time, probably not others will get with me; because you do like a Group Buy thing right?
So on your measurement with the Plexiglass in place, it read 22mm.
But that does not include the blank space on the ruler.
It looks like the distance from end of ruler to first millimeter mark is 3mm?
So Joystick would have height of 25mm from top of Plexiglass to bottom of Ball Top.
Cool.
I think that you should just go with the same layout as the TE. It will make almost everybody happy. They can just plug the holes they don’t like and pick the layout they want straight or curved. You should use this layout below, but space the buttons 2-3 mm more apart width wise so that Sanwa Screw-ins will fit.
The 4 24mm holes on top would satisfy anybody that wanted to have a sync button, or a use a neutrik adapator. Is it possible to drill two holes in the case with a hand drill for one of these? Here is a pic of the Neutrik Adaptor.

There are two diagonal holes that need to be drilled to mount this to the case. Well I’ll pm you. I live local and actually have one of these adaptors that you can look at. If you get these cases going I’ll even lend you one if you want to take it into consideration.
As for the Rubber feet, your case has them covered. You would just stick them on the machine screws between the case. Here is a stick with rubber feet. These keep the stick from sliding around when placed on a table or scratching a surface.

Sweet cases.
Hey All,
For those who are interested I’d like to have a active list of serious buyers. This way, I can keep track and possibly, based on confirmed interest level I can start manufacturing so that when I can and do sell, there will be no wait time.
Format when you respond to this thread:
Name: (First Name, Last Name)
Email Address:
Color: (Silver, Black, Gold, Blue, & Red)
Button Configuration: (Viewlix, Straight, Curved)
Joystick Type: Sanwa or Seimitsu
Thanks.
Again the purpose for this, is to have an updated list of all interested people. This will help everyone see if the Group Buy can happen or not.
NHTHRAN328, a couple of Q’s
Yup put me down for 1 case and maybe 2 if I got the cash when it comes time to order. I was wondering how much shipping would be. Not cheap I bet. I live local and would pick it up, but shipping could easily be $30-$50 due to weight.

Blue for sure and maybe a Black one
Viewlix
I will be using a Seimitsu LS-56 with a MS mounting plate (matches 4 corner holes of flat jlf mounting plate.)
Yes - However, b/c that will be a one off color, it will be an addittional $90. The reason why it’s much more is b/c in one anodization session with the raw materials I can cut it up to make 3 cases so the cost is spread out. For your situation, unless you have another member wanting pink your gonna have to front that entire cost urself.
The 5th hole- maybe yes. If it seems like everyone is moving torwards that setup then I want to be accomodating and sensitive to market demands
Thanks for answering the questions, NHTRAN
Put me down for 1 case. I might go for a 2nd if others want a pink case, then

Button Configuration: Viewlix
Joystick Type: Sanwa
Note: I am also local and might be able to do a local pickup if shipping costs are high.
BTW - how flexible are the layouts?
Can we do 6 or 7 button Viewlix layouts or is it only going to be all 8 buttons?
One other thing I noticed. The joystick hole is looks smaller than 24 mm. If one where to use a stick with a shaft cover that might be a tight fit. For example an LS-32 or has a thicker shaft and some people make custom shaft covers, that might touch the rim. I would take that into consideration.
NHTHRAN328 finish a case so we can see it in its complete sexy form!
Also do you have pictures of swatches of what shade anodized red blue and gold look like? I am wondering if the blue will be light like sanwa buttons, or dark blue like Dallas Cowboys navy, or if it will be a metallic blue like Dodge Vipers.
I’m hoping it will be similar to this type of blue. Other wise I’ll just go with Aluminum.
