Giant NES controller coffee table

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Check out the detailed description of how I made it (as well as other video game related projects I've done) here:
ultra-awesome.blogspot.com/
Hello, I've been working on this for a few months now.
A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I'm one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes).
So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc.
Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.

    It's really cheap to make, cheaper if you buy or get a free coffee table from Craigslist. The only hard parts, depending on your craftsmanship skills will either be cutting/routing the wood or doing the wiring for the buttons.

    I've been thinking about doing one of these, you really didn't need to jump the original controller, they aren't that hard to do from scratch, but at any rate, thought "hmm, lets check if anyone else did this.." and you passed my expectations in quality and functionality, giving it a purpose when not in use-nice, and the projector to go along with it-man I want one of those sooo bad! Nice work.

    @dballs442 It's actually not bad at all. The buttons respond immediately (I can adjust how far you need to push them before they contact too). The D-pad is really responsive, it rocks really well on its axis (I'm actually really proud of the way I designed the rocking mechanism). It's kind of hard to do the run-and-jump action with the a+b buttons simultaneously because of the size. But in reality, I've barely ever actually played this thing. It's just a great visual centerpiece + for storage.

    A lot of people have suggested this but I don't agree. I prefer having the console external so the controller actually plugs into it. Putting the console inside would make it cleaner, but having the console external just completes the quirkiness of it.
