I think you're gonna need at least 3 game pads to make that design.

Love the case by the way..

actually i will only need two gamepads.

my gamepads have 18 buttons + 4 analogue each, so i will have 36 buttons + 8 analog.

more than enought

In your picture it looks like you've got 8 pots and 2 faders to me?

That would equal 10 analog hence 3 game pads?

**fbonito** · 12-09-2010, 07:48 AM

yes and no....

hehehhe

there are 8 knobs, 6 knobs for the gamepad and 2 to controll volume of headphones and line in, this knobs will be independent

just a cheap usb sound board, only with a line in and a line out.

the way i'm doing it every single componet can be upgraded in the future

the gamepads can be upgraded to a ardiuno or similar, the sound board can be upgraded to have more inputs, etc. etc.

the interior connections are all usb, and there are extra usb slots to connect more exterior modules
