PCB Mounting Guide

The PCB (printed circuit board) you choose to use will depend on what home console system you want to use your arcade stick with. How you choose to mount it is really up to you. You could squish it into a blob of hot glue and that would probably work fine but we recommend that you fasten the PCB mechanically to the inside of your case.


Most PCBs have a hole or two in them that are clear of any conductive surfaces on the PCB. You should insert a screw (not included) through these holes, then into a spacer of some sort. Then, screw the PCB down into the underside of the top panel. Since your control panel top is made from MDF we strongly recommend that you pre-drill before you screw the PCB down and that you remove the top acrylic glass before you perform any pre-drilling.


You can buy the PCB feet/spacers you need from Lizard Lick Amusements or you can make your own by cutting the tube of a plastic ballpoint pen into ½” long pieces.
