More Kit Ordered!

Joysticks, Buttons and USB Controller

Have been unsure what colour buttons and joysticks to get to go with my Bobble Bubble theme, had thought of blue for one player and green for the other but most suppliers I could find of the Happ style buttons couldn't colour match the Joysticks, and I'm fussy like that :-)

In the end decided upon white for everything.  Next decision was whether to get normal buttons or illuminated LED ones.  In the end thought that LED one's would look cool for about five minutes and then get distracting / annoying when playing games (which is the whole point of this project!).

Checked out a few suppliers and Arcade World UK came highly recommended but when it came down to it Ultra Cabs came in about £15 cheaper.  May not be the same level of quality but hopefully will be good enough for my purposes.

For £43.99 they are supplying;
2 x White Ball Top Joystick
16 x White buttons
1 x Player 1 button in white
1 x Player 2 button in white
1 x USB adapter with cables

Placed the order on Wednesday night and this morning (Thursday) received a message to say they had been dispatched - good impressions so far!
