: I've put the buttons on either side, but didn't think about the coils - hmmm . . . . :-)

: I also put a real plunger on the front right which I'm gonna hook a microswitch to for launching the pinball.

Some games launch the ball will a single keypress. Will you wire the microswitch to fire upon full extension or upon spring return? :-)

Other games will slowly pull back the on-screen plunger and hold until you release the key. What then?

Unfortunately, most pinball games will not simulate holding a plunger half-way. :-/
