Okay above is extremley well done, and from what ? a mere non-offical ps2 pad ! [and ofcourse arcade parts that you can buy online]
All there doing is soldering buttons etc to the PCB of the game pad

I might be ordering arcade parts soon if anyones intrested to give it a go myself, doesnt seem like rocket science and these apparently work great, ive done 3 years of architecture in uni but no wood work so *cough* help *cough*, the casing looks the hardest.

Made a controller like this before. Got a Sega Dreamcast Arcade controller (used the same parts as their arcade units) and wired up a cheap PC usb controller to the buttons. Worked really well for MAME and the like.
Easy to do too.
