MPU_FIVE Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi, Fruity fans! Had 2 empty Ferrero Rocher boxes left over from Christmas, and thought they'd make a cracking case for a MFME keyboard, as i've been wanting to make one for ages, and don't want a huge tall box on my desktop as i want the buttons to be comfortable to use, if i could bolt maybe 3 of these together they'd be about the width of my desk and should be plenty big enough for what i want, as i will only be getting 1 Ipac and Pacdrive, so 16 buttons are the limit, which i'd be happy with. The question is, at 4cm deep, is it going to be deep enough for the button's arse end to fit comfortably within the box? and i know drilling the 24-28mm holes in the plastic could be problematic too, but... is it do-able? I've been looking round Arcade World's website for buttons, Pacdrives, etc... I'm hoping it can be done! What do you guys think? https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/High-Profile-40mm-Arcade-Button.html https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/square-32mm-high-profile-illuminated-arcade-button.html https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/triangular-42mm-low-profile-illuminated-arcade-button.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Nope not enough clearance once everything is in place as far as I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 This post in a thread from @cja272 shows how deep the buttons really are - good view on a pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
