Single-player Laminated Control Box

Single-player Laminated Control Panel (Control Box Only)
This laminated, MDF shell is ready for your controls.  (No controls are included)  Panel accepts Happ Competition/Ultimate/Super joysticks. 

Here is how to build your own!

This is for those individuals who are looking for a high quality, affordable, single-player control panel who may not have the time or tools to build it themselves.  These control boxes are extremely sturdy and will endure years of hard gaming, yet are small and light enough to considered portable.  Little details such as the underside of the panel routered out 1/4" so that the joystick shaft sits a little higher, and a gentle front-to-back slope set this panel apart. 

Black carriage bolts for securing the joystick are not easy to find so we offer them here as an option.  These two-inch carriage bolts are available for purchase to save you time hunting them down.  You may select from any of the standard templates shown below or order a custom layout of your own for just a few dollars more (top-mount only, 11 button max- just specify in the PayPal notes field). 

A new option has just been added for those console gaming customers.  Whereas the standard, round hole in the middle of the rear face has been designed to accept multiple PS/2 plugs to fit through, a new design allows all size connectors a safe exit.  Both versions are shown at the bottom of this page.

Shipping:
Shipping is $14, insured, to any of the lower 48 states.  Currently these will be shipped only to the USA and Canada as the international rates are outrageous.  These panels are custom and are begun after you place your order.  Therefore, please allow up to 3 weeks for shipment.  You will be kept well informed of the control panel's progress so there will be no surprises.
