WTS: Arcade Control Keyboard. Runs on Comp.

Post by Kurt_ »

Ok well I decided not to go ahead with the MAME cabinet. As a result, I have some $200 I would like to get back. Here's where you can help.

Image

This is my control setup. It's got 2 8 way joysticks (4 micro switches, though) and 14 buttons. It is wired to a keyboard PCB. That is inside the proejct box.

The project box has copper "staples" sticking out the top, numbered from 1 to 26ish. These are the pins on the keyboard. You can change, add, and remove and buttons, controls, tact switches, or anything else that makes a connection to modify this setup. You can even change the wiring to change the layout, if you can't do that with the software you're using.

Image

An "up close" of the project box. The wires look messy but are grouped nicely so they're very easy to maneuver. Also, 2 of the buttons were painted green with Krylon, to go with my Neo Geo Layout. I can paint some black free of charge if you wish. It looks like it belongs, a truly flawless paint job.

This is tested and ready to use. The wire is high quality and new. The buttons are tested to 1,000,000 presses (not by me) and the joysticks are tough as rock. All you need to do is enclose it, or use as-is on your own arcade cabinet.

Pricing:

I spent $37 for this off eBay, plus $13 for the keyboard. I wired all the controls by hand, as well as the keyboard to the project box on the inside. I am asking $50 shipped, as shipping is $20. Feel free to negotiate lower.

I will also trade for a Hip Gear Screen Pad or a SuperJoy 3 + $20-$30.

This was also posted on Acidmods.com. I verify that the poster was me.

A while ago, yes. I had no use for it before now. It's got little flaps with screw holes to easily mount underneath the control panel on an arcade.

The guts are really easy. Computer w/ TV out card + TV + These.
Then you make a case out of wood or MDF or something. I can even send you mine if you want. Angles and all!

Just curious...

Is the joy stick a Perfect 360 (its a brand of stick) or just a regular one?
Are the buttons the competition convex type?

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.

Buttons are not the competition type, I don't believe. I got them all in one pre-removed-from-package-but-still-new eBay auction.

53051-1 BEI is written on the box for the joysticks. Other than that no markings, other than some asian text on the bottom.

Due to the fact that nobody here wants it, I'm listing it on eBay.

BUY ME!

As you can see, I jacked up the price. I don't know why...
