The 1 1/8 inch drill bit was the perfect size even though the box said that it cuts a 29mm hole. For the 30mm holes, I used a 1 1/8” hole saw, and for the 24mm, I used a 15/16” spade tip drill bit. The next best thing is to get drill bits that approximate the proper sizes. In the USA, where I live, it is extremely difficult to find those exact size drill bits to use to cut the holes out. Drill bit sizesĪrcade buttons come primarily in two sizes: 30mm and 24mm, and both of these kits use that size. I actually did not use these buttons in this project, though I may add them later. I also bought these other buttons for no other reason except it says coin and has player icons. This set also comes with two USB encoders and two different colored buttons and joysticks, so you can play with two people.

We need to gather some supplies from Home Depot and of course we need some arcade buttons and joysticks. Trip to Home Depot (and an Amazon order)! When all’s said and done, you should come away with a board that looks like this: This was a medium level project requiring a knowledge of power tools. Wanting to take Yoseph’s Arcade™ to the next level, this week I built a arcade controller. Last week I wrote an article on making a Retro Game Console. ![]()
